Have you thought about your last meal? Yes. Yes, yes. One questionwhat's the method of death?
That's up to you. It seems like electrocution, from the ones I've read.
That's what generally comes to mind. I kind of prefer the guillotine, because it's more humane. It's very quick.
Guillotine it is. So, I have a list of things, and I'm assuming it's all going to be brought to me. First it would be, well, I don't really know what to call them in English. Spiced mutton meat sticks. It's Xinjang meat, made by Uyghurs.
Wait, are they covered in cumin? Yes! And a lot of pepper.
Oh, God. There are a couple of stalls in Flushing. So delicious. I eat them in Beijing, I love those things. So, I'd start with that, as an amuse. Then some Super Rica tacos from L.A. It's a dirty taco shack that Julia Child said was her favorite restaurant.
What kind of tacos? Well, pork. Of course, and I would drink their dirty horchada. As you can tell from these first two, I like the kind of food where you're kind of wondering whether you're gonna pay the price the next day.
Me too. But in this case, I don't have to worry about it.
True. Very wise. Then I'd have Peking duckthe traditional three-course version. First, just the skin with the pancakes and hoisin, then the meat, and at the same time, they make a broth with the carcass, and you have that as a digestive.
Yum. What else is in the broth? Just some winter melon. The carcass is the main flavor. Then, as a palate cleanser, a mangorefrigerated, like, really cold. It would have to be the fiber-free kind.
The Indian ones? What're they called again? I don't know. They're called yummy. I would take a regular mango if they'd give me floss. And then I would have the chocolate Shanghai soup dumplings from Rickshaw, with a bib on. We give out bibs now, because they're oozing and chocolatey. You don't want to go to the guillotine with stains. Also, I'd have a wafer cone with hazelnut ice cream from Sundaes & Cones. It tastes like you're eating frozen hazelnuts.

Or got a mirror on the floor trying to find Ali
from Brother Ali – Say Amen Lyrics on Genius
Very complex punchline. Extending the idea from the last line, if you're not figuratively looking down on Ali, like he's inferior (which is definitely "ballsy"), then you must be literally looking at the ground, trying to find Ali in yourself from a mirror.
So if you're looking down on the Brother, then you're either crazy or just jealous of him.

This is my best suggestion for fixing the bullpen. Simply have the people with sub -4.00 eras in the bullpen. Coutlangas 3.93, Jared Burton 3.20, Brad Salmon 3.92, Bill Bray 2.70 and David Weathers 3.71 should be fixtures in the bullpen the rest of this year and next year. Marcus McBeth has a 1.59 era this year in the minors, so i would give him another shot. He did not do well the first time around, but maybe he will do better in September.Everyone else-Majewski, Guardado, Stanton, and all the others should be released, banished to AA or traded. Relievers who have proven they can handle major league hitters should be on the team, not in AAA. Just a simple suggestion to Wayne Krivsky. In a later post I will recommend where they should pitch in the bullpen. I have not yet decided who should handle long relief.
I would think Belisle would be ideal for long relief. I would have Salmon and Coutlangas in the 6th inning, Burton and Bray in the 7th and 8th, and Weathers as the closer until Bray or Burton are ready to assume the role. If McBeth comes around I would fit him where he was most effective.

What are the effects of diabetes insipidus on water and electrolyte balances?
What are the effects of diabetes insipidus on water and electrolyte balances?
Diabetes insipidus may result in polyuria, urine dilution, severe dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances. This condition usually stems from a decreased secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). ADH normally signals the kidneys to reabsorb more water, which decreases water loss through urination.

Check with your state. Being documented will have nothing to do with whether you owe them use taxes. USCG documentation is your form of title only, as opposed to a state title. Many, if not most, states require you register with them anyway if you keep the boat there. If you are documented, you don't need to display state registration numbers.
It seems like you bought the boat out of state. If so, most states also give you credit for sales taxes you paid elsewhere against the use taxes you might owe them. If there were a small balance due, it would make much more sense to pay it than run up the penalties too. Eventually, an inspector shows up at your marina and takes down names. In some states, the marinas themselves are required to list any vessel on their premises for more than a period of time.

Full text not available from this repository.
Multidisciplinary team (MDT) model in cancer care was introduced and endorsed to ensure that care delivery is consistent with the best available evidence. Over the last few years, regular MDT meetings have become a standard practice in oncology and gained the status of the key decision-making forum for patient management. Despite the fact that cancer MDT meetings are well accepted by clinicians, concerns are raised over the paucity of good-quality evidence on their overall impact. There are also concerns over lack of the appropriate support for this important but overburdened decision-making platform. The growing acceptance by clinical community of the health information technology in recent years has created new opportunities and possibilities of using advanced clinical decision support (CDS) systems to realise full potential of cancer MDT meetings. In this paper, we present targeted summary of the available evidence on the impact of cancer MDT meetings, discuss the reported challenges, and explore the role that a CDS technology could play in addressing some of these challenges.

Have walked past this place so many times and never got around to stopping, til recently. So glad we did as we had a real treat. The staff are really friendly without being pushy and do their best to ensure you have a very enjoyable meal.
Good food, end cheap. Nice and talkable staff/owner. We went there twice and would go again if we went to Bitez again.
food not up to scratch for any of the six of us service very slow once they get you in as they think more people sitting there will attract others
Now called red dragon. Excellent food and company. Pop in and say hello to denny . Its a lovely place with always a wsrm welcome and good food
We came to the Golden Spoon on our first day just for something quick during the day, and we ended up eating there every single day despite having being half board at our hotel. The manager is such a friendly man, always quick to say hello and manage to drag us in even if just for a drink to cool...
When we tried to have their food & service before reservation we noticed that there was a ownership change. The cute gentleman who met our questions and took us to the kitchen that was a real clean and "grandma's"-like one, told us that they were trying to change the brand name to a different one.
We took a strol down the Beach walk every day during our stay in Bodrum/Betiz and all of the restaurants wanted you to visit them, one of them stood out from the others thanks to Charlie, a very wellspoken man. he offered grilled fresh fish for a good price. the last evening we sat down and took a platter of...
We mght have been tempted to eat here but the guy on the pavement was too aggressive in trying to lure in to the restaurant. When we said we'd only just arrived and wanted to look round and might come back later and continued walking away he shouted that he would give us a £100 if we came back later...
Just had one meal here and it was very nice, but rather expensive. Some of the fish dishes are not priced on the menu therefore when the bill came it was a bit of a shock. In fact two people on the next table to us had their bill reduced when they complained.
Good service though and very pleasant waiters.
We first used this restaurant for the reps meeting & met the owner Charlie.not only was he a great character but his staff were great as well.we liked to go there everyday & sit chatting to the staff & enjoying true Turkish coffee.

In-house lawyers rely heavily on their outside counsel to give them legal advice that is concise, clear and up to the minute, making the relationship one of great importance. Indeed, it is outside counsel's job to do his or her best to make the in-house lawyers look good in the eyes of company management by providing thoughtful and insightful advice. In order to accomplish that goal, outside counsel needs to take the client's business goals into consideration when offering advice and guidance. In-house lawyers are almost always too busy to sit down and undertake the thorough analysis necessary to consider all legal ramifications to a particular problem or set of circumstances. As such, it is incumbent on in-house lawyers to communicate what the potential impact is on the business for each assignment they allocate to outside counsel.
Outside counsel may know a lot about the client's business, but the reality is, they do not live and breathe it in the same way that in-house lawyers do. This is true even if the company has worked with a particular lawyer for years. Companies are dynamic, and in today's fast-paced, instant information and ever-changing business environment, a company must be nimble, flexible and immediately responsive to market forces. No outside counsel can possibly know the nuances of market changes and business pressures on each of its clients. Likewise, no outside counsel knows the inner workings of a company as well as in-house lawyers.

I love it. It's on of those things it doesn't seem like you need but then when you have it you use it all the time. I mostly use it to throw down on some grass and fall asleep and read. It's also good in front of a tent or to put my sleeping pad down on when I want to sleep under the stars with no tent. I have breakfast on it sometimes, like a breakfast nook. Its super light but I wouldn't bring it backpacking and I wouldn't sleep on it by itself either; it is too thin for that. I just like to use it for car camping and hanging out outside and whatever. I guess it could also be used as a shelter, insulation, all kinds of stuff. And you can stake it out, which I do all the time.
I can see this mat serving many purposes. I've only had it out a couple times, but it definitely has potential. I use it primarily as a "carpet" to line the bottom of the tent—adding some insulation and added comfort. I don't see this replacing my Thermarest, and one wouldn't expect it to. Overall a great addition to my kit.
The Multimat is quite a handy item to have on a trip. It will serve just about any purpose you can conceive. On most of my winter time trips, I use it to sit on while preparing my meals and use it as a tent mat to extend my sleeping pad R value. The mat seems to be pretty tough but you have to watch what type of ground you are going to put it on. Mine showed signs of little chunks of foam missing from the bottom on the first trip. The ground was covered with small sticks and stones. That being said, I think it is worth the small weight that it adds to the pack. The pad is not indestructible but will last a long time if you show a little care with regard to how you use it.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) carried out searches at 28 locations in Delhi, Kolkata and Odisha in connection with Saradha chit fund scam. This included the premises of ex-union minister Matang Singh, his wife Manorajana, former IPS official Rajat Majumdar and several East Bengal Club officials.
It also searched houses of Sudipto Sen and Piyali Sen's (Sudipto's wife) house in the morning as well.
A total of 10 sites were searched in the city of Kolkata with five officials in each team.
The Shyamal Sen commission that was given the charge of protecting people who have been victims of such chit fund scams also registered its displeasure with the role of the police officials earlier this week. The police has not been able to present those accused in other scams in front of the commission, a local Bengali Chanel reported.
There are four FIRs against Saradha Group in which it is alleged that thousands of investors were allegedly duped by the company officials and their associates who swindled their deposits. Besides there are 44 FIRs in Odisha against ponzi companies.
The Supreme court had handed over the Saradha chit fund scam to CBI and asked the state governments to provide all logistical help to the CBI team probing the matter. CBI has formed a Special Investigating Team (SIT) headed by Joint Director Rajeev Singh to also probe the role of Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) and RBI.
"Investigation conducted so far puts a question mark on the role of regulatory authorities like SEBI, Registrar of Companies and officials of RBI within whose respective jurisdictions and areas of operation the scam not only took birth but flourished unhindered," an apex court bench headed by Justice T S Thakur had said in its order.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
Maybe the recent spate of Jayhawks reunions/reissues had an effect, but Mark Olson is rocking again. The Minneapolitan Californian's first solo album, 2007's The Salvation Blues (subtitled, no kidding, A two-year journey through the heart of loss and redemption, in words and music), was at heart a depressed country album, despite avowed hopefulness and humanism, conceived largely in Europe as Olson got over a breakup with Victoria Williams—his partner in the Original Harmony Ridge Creekdippers.
Many Colored Kite instantly feels more pop, its default guitar style Byrdsian curlicue rather than twang, with indie-folk diva Jolie Holland harmonizing on the cheekily corny "Little Bird of Freedom" amid drums and jangle. Olson sounds less like he's trying to convince himself that the world is good and salvageable and more like he's sharing the news. Which makes the wobbling plainness of his singing—the lower of two reeds from his Jayhawks days—more disarming as he layers strings and backup vocals (mostly Norwegian partner Ingunn Ringvold) into a lush Western soft rock Blitzen Trapper would back.
All you could ask for, really, is tunes as memorable as his presence. Songs such as the spiritual-environmentalist "Kingsnake," and the road story "Wind and Rain" are so prettified, they're in soft-focus: It takes Olson to humanize them, his voice giving each track a ticker. Which might be why the strongest performance here is the absurdly awed-by-love "Morning Dove"—solo acoustic after all.

Two drivers for Roush Fenway Racing are in the top 12 and have a spot in the Chase, the 10-race playoff to determine the NASCAR Nextel Cup Series champion.
Matt Kenseth is third in points and Carl Edwards is seventh.
The other three drivers for Roush Fenway Racing are in the top 25. Jamie McMurray is 14th, Greg Biffle is 17th and rookie David Ragan is 25th.
Edwards is coming off an 18th-place finish at Infineon Raceway in Sonoma and heading to a track, New Hampshire International Speedway, where he has one top-five finish in six races. He was second in the July race last year.
"I like New Hampshire; it's one of my favorite tracks," said Edwards, driver of the No. 99 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. "It's flat and fast and it puts a lot of things in the driver's hands. Unfortunately we didnt have the best finish last weekend at Sonoma, so it will be really important for us to run well at Loudon. We had a really strong run there last year in the summer, so hopefully well be able to repeat that success."
McMurray is coming off a heartbreaking race in Sonoma. He won the pole for the race, led 30 laps and finished 37th.
In nine races at New Hampshire, McMurray has one top-five and three top-10 finishes. This year's race at New Hampshire is a Car of Tomorrow race. To prepare for it, McMurray tested at The Milwukee Mile on Tuesday and Wednesday with the car he will be driving at New Hampshire.
"Im looking forward to another run this weekend in Loudon," said McMurray, driver of the No. 26 Ford for Roush Fenway Racing. "Last year we just werent very good up there, but I think with the new car we are taking, it should be a pretty good weekend for us. So far this season weve done pretty well with the COT and especially in qualifying."

Natalie Gjekmarkaj knows how to make byrek, said by some to be among the best street food in the world. Now, she has brought the recipe and its secrets to 12th Ave.
"My home country Albania — byrek. Even in Italy, Croatia, Serbia… If you go in Turkey it's a big deal, too," Gjekmarkaj tells CHS.
Quietly the newest part of 12th Ave's Seattle U-proximate food and drink scene, Byrek and Baguette has opened near the corner of E Columbia inside a former Vietnamese restaurant. There, you'll find a deli case full of byrek and Gjekmarkaj baking away to fill orders from what has become a bit of a booming business providing her flaky creations for business lunch delivery.
The byrek is intended to be a savory, light pastry. "It's a very light dough and you need to work it about three times and keep it very thin," Gjekmarkaj says. Her fillings are simple. She currently offers six: Continue reading

KIOI (101.3 FM, "Star 101.3") is a radio station licensed to San Francisco, California. The iHeartMedia, Inc.-owned station programs a Hot Adult Contemporary[1] format. The station transmits its signal from San Bruno Mountains, while studios are located in the SoMa district of San Francisco.
Originally founded as KLX-FM by the Oakland Tribune newspaper, the station began broadcasting May 3, 1948, on 101.3 MHz, simulcasting sister station KLX-AM's programming 17 of the 18 hours it was on daily.[2]
It was sold in 1957 to James Gabbert, a Stanford University engineering major, fellow student Gary M. Gielow, and realtor John S. Wickett. The three launched the station as KPEN on October 27, 1957. At the time, KPEN was a Peninsula station licensed to Atherton, California, broadcasting at a mere 1500 watts from a transmitter on Kings Mountain in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The station soon put an emphasis on high audio quality, in contrast to other FM stations that did not take advantage of FM broadcasting capabilities.
During the day, KPEN played mostly orchestral pop music, switched to a lighter blend of background "dinner music" in the early evening, then classical music after 8 PM. Eventually Gabbert and Gielow hosted an evening program called "Excursions in Sound," which showcased high fidelity recordings and took advantage of the high quality broadcast signal.
Two years after KPEN's successful debut, the transmitter was moved to San Bruno Mountain and power increased to 35,000 watts. Then, on August 14, 1964, power was further increased to 125,000 watts, making it the most powerful signal west of the Mississippi River (it was grandfathered in at that power level by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which capped stations in that part of the country at 50,000 watts).
KPEN became the first station west of the Mississippi to broadcast in multiplex stereo, officially beginning August 10, 1961, after a series of field tests.[3] KPEN's technological achievements were recognized by the Electronic Industry Association, the FCC, and President John F. Kennedy. "Excursions in Sound" was renamed "Excursions in Stereo"; hosted by James Gabbert, the show focused on recordings that made good use of stereo. Gabbert also had a Sunday afternoon show "Anything Goes" that played music, sound effects, and almost anything that dramatically demonstrated the stereo effect.
In the 1960s the station moved studios from Atherton to San Francisco, first in a south-of-Market location, then to Nob Hill in a luxurious penthouse atop 1001 California Street at the corner of Mason Street. With this move, the "PEN" in KPEN changed from representing PENinsula to representing PENthouse. (The same penthouse was later the home of Randolph Hearst, father of kidnapped Patty Hearst.)
By the mid-1960s, KPEN played primarily orchestral and light vocal performances of pop songs and standards, in competition with similar FM station KFOG (owned by Kaiser Broadcasting).
On December 1, 1968, KPEN changed its call letters to KIOI ("K-101"), considered an innovative matching of call letters to dial position. Eventually the station added pop and rock music to its MOR playlist, to compete with upstart freeform rock stations KMPX and KSAN. Gabbert aggressively began promoting the station via outdoor advertising, which was a first for the market. "K-101" is likely the first station in the country to develop what is now called the adult contemporary format.
During the 1970s, Gabbert developed another lasting technological achievement as K-101 became the first station in the country to develop circular polarization, which was a key element to FM reception in automobiles, which previously was difficult.
In September 1980, Gabbert sold K-101 to Charter Company for $12.5 million, then the highest price paid for an FM station. He then purchased KEMO-TV (Channel 20) in San Francisco, changing the call letters to KTZO ("TV 20"). Gabbert later returned to local radio when he purchased KHIT-FM, KOFY (1050 AM) and KDIA (1310 AM). K-101 was profitable, however, various management tweaked the format to compete with market leader KOIT at various times, leaning softer-AC, yet at times, would lean towards the full Hot AC format. In February 1996, sister station WYNY in New York simulcasted KIOI for a day as part of a week-long stunt of simulcasting sister stations nationwide before flipping formats to rhythmic adult contemporary as WKTU.
Star 101.3[edit]
During the late 1990s, K-101 was flanked by soft AC KOIT and the emerging CHR KZQZ, and suffered in the ratings. The re-emergence of the CHR format by core artists such as Backstreet Boys, NSync, Britney Spears, and Christina Aguilera forced K-101 to a Hot AC format and re-branded itself as "The New K-101." The station remained competitive; however, the station clearly suffered an identity crisis as the ratings did not improve with the Hot AC approach. In 2000, the station rebranded itself as "Star 101.3" and debuted an exclusive "all-80s hits" format that had been successful in other markets, especially in San Jose on sister station (Channel 104.9-KCNL) as well as Portland and Seattle. Star 101.3 was programmed by KCNL Program Director Gary Schoenwetter, who brought San Francisco legend and former KITS-FM jock Steve Masters for Afternoon Drive. Though the station performed well for a while with its 80s format, management decided to take the station back to the Hot AC format and abandoned the 80s format in January 2002, while letting go Schoenwetter, Masters, and other on-air talent.
Throughout the changes, local morning host Don Bleu has remained consistent and more importantly, a ratings success through various co-hosts Renee Brinkley (1998–2002), Uzette Salazar (2002–2006), April Sommers (2006–2010) and Trish Jentz (2010–Present). Bleu is a Minnesota native formerly of KYUU in San Francisco and KDWB in Minneapolis. Popular show segments during Bleu's morning show include Bleuper calls (prank calls to unsuspecting listeners), The Daily Dish (entertainment gossip), and the Bleu Room, an in-studio lounge session that featured acts including Dido, Natasha Bedingfield, Matchbox Twenty and others performing acoustic versions of their hits.
Since June 30, 2008, afternoon drive has been hosted by the nationally syndicated On-Air with Ryan Seacrest program with cut-aways to local traffic by Dina Lawrence. Also in the line-up is the Hot Adult Contemporary version of American Top 40 with Ryan Seacrest, which airs on Sunday mornings.
January 2012: Longtime morning personality Don Bleu moved over to mornings at sister station KOSF. Replacing him in June 2012: Frosty Stillwell (formerly of KLSX- Los Angeles) and Sandy Stec (formerly of KEZR- San Jose) to form the new Sandy And Frosty Morning Show.
Star 101.3 HD[edit]
On January 19, 2006, Star 101.3 entered the HD Radio world with an HD-2 channel. The channel was originally an All '80s music format, reflecting back to the days when the station used to air '80s hits upon rebranding itself as Star 101.3 from K-101. The music featured the best songs from the 1980s from acts like The Police, Prince, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, and more.

The Bharaiya Janata Party (BJP) in Uttar Pradesh sought Governor BL Joshi's intervention in revoking the suspension of Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Durga Shakti Nagpal on Friday.
"His excellency is empowered to recommend the dismissal of the Samajwadi Party government in the state. If the governor ignores the issue then the BJP is bound to take it to the streets. An agitation would continue till the 2014 general elections," BJP's state unit chief Laxmi Kant Vajpai said.
The BJP leader was on his way to Noida to participate in a protest against the suspension of the erstwhile sub-divisional magistrate of Noida.
Nagpal, who took on the sand mining mafia in Greater Noida (Gautam Budh Nagar), was suspended July 28. The UP government has, however, cited a different reason for her suspension. It said she was suspended for ordering demolition of a wall of a religious place in Noida.
Vajpai alleged that the IAS officer was suspended under pressure from sand mafia.
"The SDM was suspended under pressure from the sand mafia. UP Agro Chairman Narendra Bhati has publicly announced that he got the SDM suspended within minutes, which is now part of the evidence," he said.

Exhibition is an attempt to restore stature to a painter who was once San Diego's most influential artist
Forgotten artists
The Dijkstra home is filled with overlooked art by forgotten artists they have found at rummage sales, antique shops, auction houses and friends' garages. Rescuing deserving, underappreciated art has almost become a calling for Bram Dijkstra — a professor emeritus at UC San Diego, guest curator for several exhibitions dealing with local art (among them "Masterpieces of San Diego Painting" at the Oceanside Museum of Art) and a highly regarded author (his latest book: "Naked: The Nude in America").
"Contemporary curators think they know precisely what is good and bad," said Dijkstra, who is co-curating the Reiffel exhibition with the San Diego Museum of Art's Ariel Plotek. "So they go through their holdings at various museums ... and they look at something and they say, 'Oh, that's not up to snuff compared to what's being done now.'
"But historically it may be extremely important. What happens is they start throwing things out, so-called 'deaccessioning' stuff that is really quite wonderful. And a lot of the stuff you see in this house is the result of that 'deaccessioning.' "
If you are going to acquire art that is being discarded by museums, you might as well acquire it from the best. The Dijkstras have multiple works once owned by New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art, including a large, impressive Henry Mattson painting that the Metropolitan had originally purchased as part of the George A. Hearn Collection.
"The curators of the '20s and '30s did a smart thing: They bought the best things they could find, and then those paintings would go into the collection," Dijkstra said. "Then around the 1990s, some idiots at the museum decided, 'This is not interesting anymore, so let's throw it out.' "
Their 1937 Mattson, "Wings of the Morning," according to Dijkstra, was featured in more than a dozen book and magazine articles and frequently reproduced (you can still go to amazon.com and purchase a reproduction of a reproduction of it, either for your wall or on a coffee mug). But by the early '90s, it was apparently considered dated.
"The Metropolitan just tossed it out," Dijkstra said. "One can debate whether it's a good painting or a bad painting from whatever point of view, but the thing is, historically it's an important painting. Now, here it is."
As museums generally don't keep records about what happens to deaccessioned art (which may also go through several hands before reaching an appreciative, sympathetic collector), important paintings can be lost or disappear, making it difficult for scholars to reconstruct an artist's legacy and for viewers to reconsider an artist firsthand.
"So 50 years from now, if someone wants to do a show on Henry Mattson, they are going to have a hell of a time figuring out where this painting is," Dijkstra said. "That gives you a sense of how difficult it was to find Reiffel paintings."
Wonder and delight
Like Mattson, Reiffel moved from mainstream status to being a footnote in art history. The Indianapolis-born painter was too adventurous for the tastes of San Diego collectors who could have supported him (he died in poverty after working for years for the WPA), neither visible enough nor experimental enough (although that experimental part could be argued) to ride the wave of modernism that would soon sweep through American art.

"Customers who are looking for a better value proposition from an inkjet grade have a new option for the book publishing market based on the award-winning TrueJet design."
TrueJet Digital Coated Papers is a result of several years of research and development and on-press testing with some of the top manufacturers of high-speed inkjet presses. NewPage was granted U.S. Patent 7803224 for the technology, which enables coated papers to be printed via multiple processes of inkjet, offset and laser. Additional patents are pending.
TrueJet Book has been awarded Kodak's 4 Diamond Rating for use on the Kodak Prosper™ press, and has also been recognized for HP Tseries presses without the need for a bonding agent.

Um, no. But we will. As long as we believe we need bodies and corporeal life, we will keep creating and recreating it.
No that's why we need to find ways to stop using so much energy in wasteful ways.
Hopefully, we'll all get smart enough to do the right thing...including romping on polluters like China. You can't even see the sun in Beiging because the air is so thick with cr*p.
Who's to say? I wouldn't, but I'm not God.
NO, there are more resources here than we'll ever use. Whenever we run out of one we will find different sources with the same result. Fossil Fuels will be replaced by hydrogen an electricity from the atmosphere. Depleting resources will be replaced by renewable ones and as mankind evolves. Hate, war, fraud and deception will be replaced with truth and win/win solutions instead of the current standard of sacrifice.
2/3's of the earths surface is water, and you think we're running out? Granted it is not all clean. but purify water or desalinating is not brain surgery
With current technology, but undoubtedly when the need arises, better technology will be developed.
problaby not, because if depleting our planet is considered a sin, he may punish us for our sin, buuuuuuuut mabybe he will forgive us and give us a chance to start anew.
Hopefully we evolve past the need to exploit our resources, people need to stop staring up at the skies for answers, and look within ourselves.

Spurs' Bonner dribbles way into kids' hearts in Manila
More News from Celest R. Flores
More News from INQUIRER.net
Matt Bonner of the San Antonio Spurs shows kids from the Children Garden Home at the Ronac Art Center how to dribble the ball like an NBA player during his visit Friday, Sept. 6, 2013. Bonner is in Manila as part of the NBA Cares organization which has forged a partnership with Sun Life Financial. Video by INQUIRER.net's Noy Morcoso lll
MANILA, Philippines — He may not be the best ball handler in the NBA, but Matt Bonner's dribbling tricks were a big hit with the kids Friday at the start of the NBA Cares program here.
Bonner, the first ever San Antonio Spur to visit Manila, shared tips for proper dribbling and taught hand-quickness drills to the eager boys and girls of Children Garden Home at the Ronac Art Center.
The 33-year-old forward, who is known for his sweet touch from the outside, is in the country for the weekend festivities which kicks off the partnership between the NBA and Sun Life Financial.
"NBA Cares is a great organization. I don't have to tell you how much they've done for the community, not only in the US but in the entire world. If I can be a part of that good will, and working with the kids, I really enjoy it," said the eloquent Bonner.
Bonner got help from Alaska coaches Jojo Lastimosa, players Brandon Cablay and Ervin Sotto, and NBA Asia's Sefu Bernard, who started the clinic with a fun way to warm up named "earth, sea, land, earthquake, mountain."
After teaching the kids the proper stance when dribbling the ball, Bonner showcased various tricks aimed at developing better hand speed to the delight of everyone at the venue.
"The kids were great. Very excited and passionate, and they listen," said Bonner in a Q&A with the media.
Most of the kids from Children Garden were former street kids or rescued children, and Bonner inspired them to keep on improving even if they didn't have the luxury of a basketball court.
"When I was growing up, I used to go to the basement and do the same dribbling drills to make myself better. Even if you don't have a basketball hoop, you can be a better basketball player," he said.

Author: Bina Ramani
Publisher: Rupa
It's easy to dismiss her as a caviar socialite from Delhi's swish set. However, what many tend to overlook are the challenging episodes in her life she's braved through with guts and gumption. Bina's life has been a sea of scary vortexes in which she's often found herself trapped but eventually emerged stronger. She's dabbled into fashion, entrepreneurship, restaurant business and philanthropy and this memoir unravels so many facets to her multi-layered persona, which are relatively unknown. The lady became the target of media's witch hunting during the unfortunate, sordid and shocking Jessica Lal murder case. The book fascinatingly captures how with courage and conviction she pulled herself together during the trying times and of course with the unstinted support from daughter Malini and husband Georges.
Her story kicks off beautifully in the post-partition period when she moved to Mumbai with her large conservative family comprising many siblings. The chapter describing her courtship with Shammi Kapoor makes for quite a read. However, the timing was not right. The late Raj Kapoor's wife Krishna was strongly in favour of the match because she felt Bina had the 'right combination of traditional and modern values' and would bring stability into Shammi's life but Raj felt that her conservative background and Shammi's wild ways weren't compatible.
However, Bina's decision to marry her first husband Andy who was a manager at Air India is a tad shocking. Even though before marriage she got to know that Andy had a live-in relationship in San Francisco, she decided to go ahead with it. Sadly, she was trapped in a loveless marriage dealing with an abusive husband and taking care of two daughters Malini and Gitu followed by a messy custody battle.
There's a well written chapter mentioning Bina's meeting with the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi who loved a jewellery piece made by her. Bina later interviewed Indira too.
Bina's unfair targeting by the media in the Jessica Lal murder case is described lucidly. From the fateful night at the Tamarind Court Café to the big lie of wiping blood – she sets the record straight.
She writes how she became the target eventually and not the culprit – Manu Sharma. "Sabrina Lal later confirmed that when the SIT examined her, they had asked so many questions about the Ramanis, she had had to remind them that they were shifting focus, as it wasn't Bina who had killed her sister."
Bina's self-esteem had hit rock bottom, but her integrity and support from her family kept her going.
Excerpt from the book:
Unable to bear the pressure of the damaging media reports, I decided to speak to Sabrina Lal. I thought she would be the best positioned to explain to the SIT that they were barking up with wrong tree.
Sabrina's reluctance to meet came as a surprise. After much persuasion, she agreed to a meeting at a coffee shop in her neighbourhood in Gurgaon. She was visibly surprised to see my distressed state. 'What's the matter, Bina?' she asked.
'Sabrina, why is the police team hounding us?' I asked. 'Don't they know that we are their main hope if they want to solve the case?' I added, 'You know it too, don't you?'
I was amazed by her chilly response. She basically shrugged her shoulders and said, 'I can do nothing about it. Why don't you speak to KK Paul himself, he's the man in charge. I can do nothing.' She gave me his number. 'I don't know how else to help you, Bina; just get in touch with him, he's handling the case now.'
I broke into tears several times during our conversation and told her that I become a bundle of nerves at home, that Malini and Georges were alarmed and couldn't bear to see me in this state. Strangely, these very dialogues were to appear five years later in the film, No One Killed Jessica (2001), which painted Ramanis, especially me, in a very damaging light.

Implementation of Responsible Care is growing among chemical distributors, extending its benefits along the supply chain from producer to customer
A significant Responsible Care document on product stewardship was issued jointly last year by Fecc and Cefic, the European Chemical Industry Council. It was symbolic of the way that in Europe Responsible Care has become a collaborative programme among stakeholders throughout the chemicals sector.
Copyright: Rex Features
"The publication of the Product Stewardship Guidelines, that originated in the UK from the Chemical Business Association and the Chemical Industries Association and was jointly updated recently by Cefic and Fecc, is proof that working together pays off."
The product stewardship document, updated to take into account compliance with the EU's new Reach chemicals policy and the classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) legislation, is intended to cover the requirements of companies dealing with chemicals throughout their life cycle - from product development to storage, transport, use and eventual disposal.
Among other recent major joint initiatives by Fecc and Cefic has been the updating of the European Single Assessment Document (ESAD), which provides a system for third-party verification of the Responsible Care performance of distributors. The two associations have also been working together on guidelines for good practice in chemicals distribution.
They have also joined with the European Chemical Transport Association (ECTA), representing carriers of chemicals, to draw up guidance for the safe working at height in the chemical logistics supply chain, and are currently working on the revision of the guidance on the loading and unloading of products and safety in working with large vehicles like tankers. "We have to promote Responsible Care down the supply chain because it has such huge benefits, " says Jensen-Korte.
Fecc and its 15 national association members, as well as around 35 larger distributors with direct membership, are at the forefront of efforts to spread participation in Responsible Care, geographically and also among downstream segments handling chemicals, particularly in logistics and transport. For example, the UK's CBA has had a Responsible Care programme covering both distributors and logistics service providers in place for 20 years.
A current major issue is persuading more small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) to adopt Responsible Care. "There are difficulties for SMEs with the application of Responsible Care because they may not have the same level of human resources as larger companies," says Jensen-Korte. "But we're making a lot of progress with SMEs. I am convinced that over the next few years there will be increased numbers of SME distributors across Europe committing themselves to Responsible Care."
Commitment to Responsible Care has been steadily rising since the financial crisis of 2008 so that 21,251 employees of European distributors, equivalent to 72% of the total, were following its principles in 2011. This compared with around 50% in 2005.
"A growing number of distributors are seeing the advantages of Responsible Care while more producers want the distributors of their chemicals to be complying with it," says Peter Newport, director of CBA, the UK distributor association. "We would in fact like to see more producers actively support the application of Responsible Care along the chain because their backing at the moment is patchy."
Chemical transport is also benefiting from the use of Responsible Care
Copyright: Rex Features
Nonetheless there are gaps, with Responsible Care making little or virtually no inroads in some associations. In Denmark the proportion of distributors involved into the programme was less than 20% in 2011, while the Austrian association reported that only one of its 200 distributors was following Responsible Care.
Eastern Europe is also an area with a relatively low level of Responsible Care commitment mainly because, with the exception of the Czech Republic, there is the lack of national distributor associations. It was to deal with the absence of a Responsible Care infrastructure in Eastern Europe that Fecc introduced its own Responsible Care Programme four years ago. This set up a system under which subsidiaries of its direct company members could join the programme without having to be members of a national association.
"The Fecc Responsible Care programme agreed in 2009 has been working well," says Jensen-Korte. "In the last two years we have had over 15 site applications to join the programme, mainly from subsidiaries in eastern Europe of our member companies". The latest associations to use the Fecc Responsible Care programme are the national distributor association of Spain and Portugal.
In its drive to strengthen the Responsible Care activities of distributors, Fecc has been emphasising the need for companies to undertake third-party verification (TPV) of their Responsible Care performance through the preferred ESAD auditing system.
"TPV is an additional challenge for distributors but it is worthwhile because it has a lot of benefits," says Jensen-Korte. "It is a highly effective way of improving operational efficiencies."
With some national distributor association who do not make Responsible Care involvement mandatory for their members, they stipulate that once a companies signs up to the programme they must undergo TPV assessments. In Germany, for example, 67 out of 100 distributor members of Verband Chemiehandel (VCH), the German distributor association, were voluntary Responsible Care participants last year but they all had to undertake a mandatory TPV assessment of their Responsible Care performance. As a result Germany had one of the highest numbers of TPV-assessed distributors in Europe.
Some associations, like Austria, which do not implement the Responsible Care programme, nonetheless encourage their members to use TPV systems. Those distributors can utilise, for example, assessment schemes of the International Organisation of Standardisation and occupation safety and health (OSHA) agencies.
"There are other management assessment systems but Responsible Care remains the most complete way of ensuring adequate standards of safety, health, security and the environment," explains Jensen-Korte.
ESAD is linked with the Cefic-managed Safety and Quality Assessment System (SQAS) which provides an umbrella scheme for evaluating the safety, security and environmental performance of both logistics service providers and distributors. In fact, under SQAS last year over, four times more transport service companies undertook TPV than distributors - 440 against 102, in part because the transport system has been available far longer and because it has more support from chemical manufacturers.
The number of distributors being assessed has gone up by 6% since 2007; among transport service providers it has risen by 40%; and among warehouse businesses it had gone up four-fold - showing how much auditing is expanding throughout the supply chain.
With distributors, participation in Responsible Care is seen as being a major help in complying with the supply-chain obligations under the Reach legislation. VCH believes the communication of advice and information on what customers need to do under Reach is a "central element" of the Responsible Care duties of distributors.
"The supply chain still displays a certain lack of information and occasionally downright ignorance towards the targets being followed by Reach," says Uwe Klass, VCH president, in the association's latest annual report on Responsible Care. "The Responsible Care concept can and will become an important starting point for jointly achieving the Reach targets."
Assisting customers with Reach highlights how much Responsibility Care brings distributors into areas of commitment beyond those of legal obligation, according to VCH. "The chemical trader advises the customer in all questions (on Reach) which arise from customer-specific uses," says Klass.
The Product Stewardship Guidelines also stress how closely Responsible Care and Reach are interrelated through companies and national associations working together to improve performance. Distributors are recommended not only to check that their customers can handle, use and dispose of chemicals safely but also that their suppliers have similar capabilities. Responsible Care for distributors is now about carrying out duties both downstream and upstream in the supply chain.

If a single mother is looking to perhaps improve their situation by furthering their education, if she is already working, the best advice she could be given is to first check with her employer as a recent survey showed, 60% of American companies were now prepared to assist any single mother employee, with education fees if required. Other scholarships for mothers advice though is readily available on the internet and there may well be more scholarships available than she may have thought.
To start with there are federal government programs such as the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant which single mothers can apply for and if successful, receive as much as 44,000 towards a further education. The Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education program is prepared to assist those single mothers that would like to take training to become teachers. The Academic Competitiveness Grant is for single mothers that may have already attained secondary level education and the National Science and Mathematics Access to Retail Talent (SMART) program is another one which could award as much as 44,000 to a single mother looking to improve her education.
Other than those there are also individual state programs and scholarships that can apply to single mothers and some which specifically target trying to assist single mothers. It is also possible to find teaching establishments that offer their own scholarships and for single mothers perhaps the best ones to look at are those that specialize in teaching or nurses training. Then there are the private charities or foundations that are available to request assistance from and these include the Jeannette Rankin Scholarship Fund which has already paid out over $2 million to assist women over 35 to obtain associate degrees. The Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation which has awarded as much as $1.7 million to assist women under 25 with education fees and the James E. "Pete" Petersen Scholarship which, since 1985, has been assisting women to get a further education and in the case of this scholarship, preference is given to applicants that are single mothers. Of course not all scholarships or grants will pay for all the tuition fees plus the other expenses but most of them pay enough to make a further education possible.
Obviously if a single mother could improve her education, it could lead to a better paid job which in turn would lead to a better lifestyle for both the parent and the children but, in the shorter term another advantage also arises. If the children see their parent finding the time within their busy schedule, to study in order to try for a better future, it often inspired them to try harder at school. If the children try harder at school obviously they may get better results which can always help them but, perhaps a hidden advantage is that they need less help with their homework meaning, a single mother may gain some extra time for her own studies, which of course could always be a help to them.

Architects turn to crowd for FOUNDhouse micro-house funding
FOUNDhouse will provide shelter for Patrick Beseda and Lacy Graham while they help build a home for a Navaho Native American family
FOUNDhouse is to be fabricated from CNC-machined plywood, and will snap together like a puzzle, requiring no bolts
FOUNDhouse has enough room for a bed, kitchen area, bathroom and shower, some storage, and a living area for the two architecture students
Article Summary
Architecture students Patrick Beseda and Lacy Graham have launched the FOUNDhouse project, which aims to raise funds, via Kickstarter, to build a micro-house. FOUNDhouse bucks the trend of big-money crowd-funding schemes, and instead aims to generate a relatively low US$1,100 for the project to go ahead.

Hello, where do I put the email I will use for the Contact Form? Thanks
You have to create your own script for sending the data form to your email address. In my example (ajax/server.php), I only displayed the message. There you can add your own script for sending email.
Thank You!
Hi, I cannot give you a solution because you dont have a purchase badge in your account
Oh, sorry, i see this error in the demo version, http://themepixels.com/main/themes/demo/webpage/sartana/portfolio-3.html i would like to buy
hello, I buy the template, can you help me
jQuery('#portfolio').isotope({ itemSelector : 'li', layoutMode : 'fitRows' });Just cut the code above and insert it inside of jQuery(window).load function like in the below
jQuery(window).load(function(){ jQuery('#portfolio').isotope({ itemSelector : 'li', layoutMode : 'fitRows' }); });
What font is used in the logo Sartana logo?
Of course i am sure Im the one making it. Roboto has different type. The logo is using light. Try it
Helloo, i will do a preload for my page, I use the QueryLoader2, but does not work well, can you help me Thanksss
Suggestion for an added feature: tab slider or carousel to showcase client logos.
Excellent Theme. One question: Where do you set the speed and transition effect (slide-in) of the mainpanel?
Thanks -Tom
I recently purchased the theme and I opened the portfolio-4.html page and it won't filter. I looked at the markup and noticed that the filters were not properly marked up. However, even after changing the filters to properly correspond, I am still not seeing the filtering occurring. When I view the live demo, everything works but the downloaded template is not functioning accordingly. Could you please let me know if there is an updated version of the theme? I am using the non-wordpress version.
I do apologize. I just downloaded the entire template and it worked. That is awfully weird. In any case, please disregard my previous post. I have a workable version.
BTW, excellent theme. I like the sidebar navigation as opposed to the top and love the transition effect going from one of the portfolio items to the actual project page.
Thank you!
no worries. thanks
I also noticed that the font "Roboto" is showing up as non-cursive. You included roboto in your zip package but it is not cursive. Referring back to vidal's comment regarding the font, I would like to know which font you used for your logo "Sartana."
The font is TheNautiGal you can download it from internet. Search it on google
Great theme. I have looked at many and will be using it for my consulting practice. I assume you can display either pictures or text for the various pages. Can you easily reduce the size of the textbox? I don't have a lot of text and don't want a lot of whitespace.
Can the size of the grid boxes on the right be changed easily? Can you size them at any size you want or do they have to be certain sizes?
Also, is it easy to change the data that comes up when you hover over the images?
About the size of the grid it has to be that way. About the data yes you can easily change it since the template is a static html template but you have to manually change it every item.
So ur saying the size of the boxes in the grid can't be changed?
Yes you can but you have to modify some css codes to that. The grid is responsive so if you have larger screens grid will become 5 columns or 4 depends on the screen sizes. For smaller screens it will adjust to 3 up to 2
Ok thanks!
Hi. The template is just exciting but where do i edit the background slide on all the pages.
body.bg1 { background-image: url("../images/bg1.jpg"); } body.bg2 { background-image: url("../images/bg2.jpg"); } body.bg3 { background-image: url("../images/bg3.jpg"); } body.bg4 { background-image: url("../images/bg4.jpg"); }Feel free to change the background image in it and if you want to add more just follow the code (i.e body.bg5). And then go to js/custom.js and scroll down to line 155 you can see this line of code like below
// Change the background window.setInterval(function(){ var c = 1 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 4); jQuery('body').removeClass('bg1 bg2 bg3 bg4'); if(!jQuery('body').hasClass('homebody')) jQuery('body').addClass('bg'+c); return c++; }, 10000);As you can see in the above code there are bg1 bg2 bg3 and bg4. Just add the class what you added in the css. Example
jQuery('body').removeClass('bg1 bg2 bg3 bg4 bg5 bg6');Also for example you have a total of 5 images you have to adjust the line of code like in the below
var c = 1 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 5);
That's it. Hope you get it. Thanks
Hi. Can you please tell me where can I change the number of photos are displayed in each portfolio page? I wan't all the images together without "next" option. Please see the image to understand what I mean. http://norder.gr/page.jpg
It's ok, I found it
merhaba template bugün sat?n ald?m çok güzel fakat ben grid bölümünü tamamen video yapmak istiyorum. php kodlama hakk?nda bilgim yok. örnek bir video php yaparsan?z sevinirim.
Hello, today I bought a very nice template but I want to make the video grid section completely. I do not know about php coding. I would appreciate if you make a sample video php.
Very well done! Are the view and like feature supposed to work or do we need a separate code for that? I viewed the demo and they display the same numbers
The wordpress version seems to be taken down. Any chance they will be brought back for sale?
I took it down because of lack of time to support on this template.
Problem with leftpanel hover (menu && share) ... If mainpanel height > leftpanel height when you scroll the content the menubar and share hovers do not work correctly. If you scroll the page back up to the top they work again.
This is also prominent in the demo. Google Chrome Version 36.0.1985.125 m
There is a bug in the navigation in Google Chrome Version 36.0.1985.125 when I'am scrolling down the template.
Hi what is the bug you found?
Good morning,
I wonder if this theme is child-theme compatible. The theme's functions are great but we would like to have the primary navigation on top instead in the sidebar.
Many regards
