Quick note: Theres has been a slight change to the backend proccess for asiasoft transactions. We have just been alerted to this and are makign the necesary updates. Please refrane from using the asiasoft button until further notice. Should be sorted out within an hour or so.
Well no not really. Although, alot of people knew us at Otakon this year and this is our second year at Gencon so we should get a big turnout. So everyone WILL know our name and when we enter the bar, everyone will shout NORM! I mean ALTEIL!
Today we'll be here from 10-6 training new players in the Training arena. Remember that place? Remember when there was no single player arena? Ahhhh..., the good old days. Anyways Gencon is about to get underway. Some of our players may be here dropping by. We'll make sure to post on any Alteil player sightings.
Half of Team Alteil will be at the world famous Gencon Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. We were there last year and were welcome with open arms. Lots of good costumes, lots of honest excitement. We're amped. We're going to go for a new record in con signups. 100,500(Divided by 1,000) NEW REGISTERED USERS!!!! So that's ummm... around a... hundred or so. So 100 NEW REGISTERED USERS! It's never been done before(except at the last con we were at)!
So anyways, if you're going to be there, come to Booth 333 in the gaming section of the main hall and show your support. We'll be there with free mini-posters and free in-game prizes for new sign-ups. You can even get your picture taken with the only and only Mr. Keseran Pasaran. For anyone not in attendence, we'll be training new blood Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday 10-6 in the training arena. Come on in and help out... but be nice! Don't want to scare off any new players.
Sorry, too much Dance Dancing has finally taken a toll on me. I'm seeing arrow patterns in the street, combo multipliers at the top of view, and I think the crowds of people are chanting my praises as I reach triple digit combo heights. I'm getting really good at the game now though. I can competently finish 5 star difficulty songs and half notes are becoming manageable.
So what does this mean to me, the local Alteil player, you may be asking? DDR is mostly about pattern recognition and preparing for the upcoming combo. Sound familiar? Someone throws out a Soul Bind when they have closed cards on the field, probably going to be an Invisible Druid Soul Skill coming your way. Knowing what the popular meta-decks and combos can help you turn the battle around. Some are obvious, others require you to take the bait. So fellow Iczers, always come prepared to battle and someday you'll be able to best Mavel.
As always, anyone who has fought in the arena at least once gets a minimum of 10 gran. Listed below are your top 5 Iczers and top 3 guilds! Enjoy.
Please note that we are working on improving the rankings. Excuse any errors or design flaws.
It's about time for our seasonal card event. For those of you who are new, usually we run one of these 4-6 times a year, for holidays or just seasons. The idea is we pick four cards and swap them out with new artwork for about 2 weeks or so. This event is summer themed, so that means Yukata (Japanese robes worn at night for summer festivals) and swimsuits! This affects the cards you own, so there's no need to do anything. Just log in and check your cards to see if you can spot the new art! Note: This does not affect the "Starter" versions of the cards.
Also, next week we'll put together a CONTEST to see if some of you can win permanent versions of the summer art cards!
Well we found the problem, folks. The change e-mail form under the account button is back. You can change your contact info AND/OR add or take yourself off the mailing list.
More fixes to come... stay tuned.
So, I'm sure our site regulars do not find the title of this post to be very surprising, but I think all the major stuff is in place, so it's time to start sending out our Press Releases and news bytes. For those who are interested, below is our official announcement.
It's a whole new game! Alteil has been overhauled inside and out, transforming your experience. New players have all new ways to learn, veterans have all new ways to improve, and everyone in between has more options and more ways to play!
-Single Player Mode: Want to learn or just perfect the flow of your new Card File? Mix it up with our computer controlled opponents for a while before taking it to the big leagues.
-Duel Spectators: Now you can watch the experts duel! Take in a match for fun, or to learn advanced tricks. Chat with others 'in the bleachers'. You can also still have Private Duels if you're shy, but you get bonus EXP and FM for letting in spectators.
-New Avatar System: Avatars now have a ton more options and eight layers! New categories include Armor, Hair and Backpack. To celebrate, we've added dozens of new Avatar items into the shop. You've got to check out all the new options!
-New Game Engine: The back end has been replaced with a more advanced one that will increase game stability, enable new skill types and the addition of future upgrades.
-New Website: Our sleek new website makes it easy to keep up with new releases, check out info on cards and read strategy articles. The new design actually makes it fun to read news!
-New Rulebook: The various how-to's and tutorials on our main site have been tossed out in favor of a single, unified, well-organized rule book. If you want to do anything from just skim the basics (with lots of pictures), to figure out how to micro-manage an obscure timing rule, the new Rulebook is the place for you!
-Demo Mode: Always wanted to try Alteil but didn't want to make an account until you were sure you liked it? Demo mode lets you one-click to a battle with a trial character. Give the link to your friends to show them Alteil!
Our new rulebook is finally complete. The various how-to's and tutorials on our main site have been tossed out in favor of a single, unified, well-organized rule book. If you want to do anything from just skim the basics (with lots of pictures), to figure out how to micro-manage an obscure timing rule, the new Rulebook is the place for you!

Portfolio Management
The Commonwealth environmental water holdings comprise of both a portfolio of assets (water entitlements) and the accumulated annual yield of water (allocations) against those entitlements.
The Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder (CEWH) has legislated responsibility under the Water Act 2007 (Water Act) for decisions relating to Commonwealth environmental water, including the management of the portfolio so that it maximises environmental outcomes across the Murray-Darling Basin over time. The portfolio needs to be managed in accordance with the Water Act and the Environmental Water Plan.
The portfolio is diverse and includes most types of water entitlements in the Basin, including unregulated system entitlements. The water entitlements in the holdings retain the same characteristics as existed before acquisition. The portfolio is managed within the State government rules that apply to other equivalent entitlement holders (typically agricultural users). For example, the Commonwealth pays the same fees and charges for the holdings, receives the same annual allocations as equivalent entitlements, and operates within the same rules including the rules relating to carryover of water between years.
What are the options?
To maximise the benefits of Commonwealth environmental water, the Commonwealth environmental water portfolio is actively managed which means the water may be:
- delivered within the current year to meet environmental needs;
- carried over to future years to meet future environmental needs; or
- traded (disposal or acquisition).
Use of water within the current year. Decisions to use water are made after assessment against a Framework for Determining Commonwealth Environmental Water Use that focuses on the expected environmental outcomes.
Carryover water to future years. Decisions to carryover water for future use is based on current and future environmental needs and the carryover rules that exist for particular entitlements. Carryover arrangements vary significantly across the Basin. As a general principle water use is prioritised from entitlements where there is less capacity for carryover. For more information see carryover of Commonwealth environmental water.
Trade of the holdings. The Water Act 2007 provides for the disposal and acquisition of Commonwealth environmental water (entitlements and allocations). Such trade needs to be directed to achieving an improved environmental outcome and in most cases any proceeds from a disposal will be required to be spent on future acquisitions. For more information see Commonwealth environmental water Trading Framework.
Water allocations may be transferred between various accounts to implement the above management options. For example, when a decision is made to use water it is generally transferred to a delivery partner for the purpose of the agreed use. The water required for a particular water use action may be sourced from a range of entitlements. Transfers of allocation may also take place to improve the opportunities for carryover and facilitate trade of the holdings.
For further information about how water use, carry over and trade decisions are made please refer to the factsheet.
For more information on portfolio management, and future trading options, see the Portfolio Management Updates.
How does this compare to other water users?
The various portfolio management options are comparable to the type of options available to other owners of water entitlements. In some cases the decision may be to not pursue any of the above options and in these cases the rules associated with the particular type of entitlement would apply. In this circumstance the water that would otherwise have been available would typically be reallocated under the rules of a particular water sharing plan. This may result in reallocation of the water across all entitlement holders in a subsequent year.
Management of the Commonwealth environmental water holdings is subject to the same uncertainties that affect other owners of water entitlements. In making portfolio management decisions, the best available information is taken in to account including climatic, hydrological, environmental, market and catchment information. Continuous assessment of options occurs but the potential for changes in conditions (for example a sudden change in weather conditions) may mean that plans for the use of environmental water can change during the course of the year.

Profile America — Saturday, December 11th. One of baseball's greatest players — Joe DiMaggio — announced his retirement from the game on this day in 1951. He was the middle of three brothers who each became major league center fielders, the others being Vince and Dom. Joe DiMaggio started with the New York Yankees in 1936, and in his 13 seasons with them was selected for the All-Star Game every season he played. He was the American League's most valuable player three times, and is perhaps best remembered for his remarkable 56 game hitting streak in the 1941 season, a record that still stands. He was voted in to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1955. Baseball continues to be very popular, with nearly 80 million fans attending games each season. Profile America is in its 14th year as a public service of the U.S. Census Bureau.

LIMA — In what is being described as a change in direction, the Allen Metropolitan Housing Authority board voted Wednesday to fire Executive Director Cindi Ring.
"The board has determined we want to go in a different direction with leadership," Board President Lamont Monford said.
Ring was put on paid leave on Aug. 2. After an executive session Monday, the board also put maintenance manager Traci Rogers on leave. No action was taken Wednesday regarding his employment.
Public housing manager Anna Schnippel will be the acting director, Monford said. A search will begin for a new director, he said.
Ring joined the agency in 1977 and has been director since 1994. Monford stressed that Ring had done nothing illegal.
Monford was asked after the meeting if the resignation of assistant director Daniel Hughes last month sparked the change in direction.
"No. Not necessarily. As a board, we've always been concerned about the direction of this agency," Monford said.
Asked if Hughes would be considered for the now-vacant position, Monford said he had not had conversations with Hughes about that.
Regarding Ring's performance reviews, Monford would not comment, saying that Ring has hired an attorney, and the authority's lawyer has advised him not to discuss it.
When contacted Wednesday, Ring referred questions to her attorney, Victoria Maisch, of Lima. Maisch could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
Ring did clarify that her home phone number, which The Lima News reported had been disconnected, has, in fact, been disconnected for several years because her cell phone is her main number.

- Kangaroo is like lamb, but lamb that's thought really deeply about how it wants to taste like and has decided that if it's going to be eaten it may as well taste as interesting and exotic as possible.

Here's another one for my fellow IT numpties, which I always use in multi-screen situations.
Scenario: You have an application open and its window has somehow moved way off of screen and a user is moaning that they cant see it, yet the app is there on the Task Bar.
Solution: Hit ALT+SPACE+M (individually not together) then hold any one of the cursor keys for a few seconds. Then, switch to the mouse and drag the mouse pointer to the main viewing area. The windowed app will be magically stuck to the mouse pointer until you left click.
Also, in Windows 7, hold down left shift before right clicking an app on the toolbar to see the traditional Windows menu.

My baptism by fire in journalism in the late nineties coincided with the era of fractured mandates. That was when regional chieftains began to flex their muscles and traded their numbers for their pound of flesh – ministerial berths, special packages and hidden agendas. That was when Tamil Nadu held the key.
I'm sure it will this time around too. After covering 4 Lok Sabha and 4 Assembly elections from this State, I'm now away from the heat and dust of campaigns but watching with equal interest, all the twists and turns from the comfort of my drawing room. I didn't say arm chair!
This election has many firsts for Tamil Nadu. For the first time in more than a decade and a half, the two dravidian rivals – the ruling AIADMK and the DMK are solitary reapers, having wittingly jettisoned overtures from the Congress and the BJP. At least at the pre poll juncture.
For the first time a six cornered fight is on the cards, with the Congress, the Left and the Aam Admi Party vying as single entities. For the first time in several years, Jayalalithaa and Karunanidhi's parties will be engaged in a straight fight in 35 out of the 39 seats.
For the first time we have what Tamilians calls 'Namma' Prime Ministerial aspirant. For the first time the BJP, which many years ago invited sardonic smiles for its 'Rockfort to Fort St. George' (the seat of power in the State) slogan, is now a force to be reckoned with, not merely because of the 'wave' but owing to a strong regional coalition it has managed to cobble together.
For the first time, a string of Congress heavyweights in the State have opted out of the race, aware and apprehensive of the 'underdog' tag. And yes, not for the first but for the second time, the DMK is going to the polls without the support of its Southern 'Braveheart', as its Madurai strongman M.K.Alagiri is sulking or rather seething after his suspension from the party.
The irony is that all these 'firsts' don't make the outcome unpredictable. No matter who their allies were, the two leaves and the rising sun have usually commanded a committed vote share of 25 to 27 per cent apiece – more than half the State's electoral pie.
In theory, the caste factor could make a dent for the AIADMK, with the BJP having collared the Vanniyar votes through the PMK, the Naidu votes of the DMDK and the MDMK's Tamil sentiments. But Tamil Nadu's electoral pitch always comes with the odd googly! Don't be too sure if the BJP alliance eats into Amma's vote bank or if it's the other way around – the undecided voters in these belts going with the AIADMK in places where the BJP isnt contesting in anticipation of a post poll Jayalalithaa-Modi tie up.
Although Congress leader P. Chidambaram has called the AIADMK the BJP's "B Team" and the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister has not antagonised the saffron party in her 'first off the block' campaign, lambasting only the Congress and the DMK, this is a tricky proposition to stick your neck out. For analysts. And for Jayalalithaa herself. Will she reap possible dividends in 2014 by backing her friend Modi post 16th May at the cost of 2016? Remember she has carefully reached out to minorities – the traditional bastion of her arch rival, well before her assembly victory in 2011.
And has taken up the gauntlet for the Tamil cause, fishermen and farmers. Added to this is her own Prime Ministerial ambition and the recent endorsement she has got from other powerful regional leaders like Mamta Banerjee. The 'Amma-Didi' bonhomie may have been the reason for her cold shouldering of the Left and could well be the turning point in the event of the AIADMK bagging 'favourable numbers', say 25 plus seats.
The DMK too is keeping its options wide open. By calling Modi his "good friend", Karunanidhi is also hedging his post poll bets.
Don't also discount the 'run-outs' caused by misunderstanding at the crease. What if the DMDK-PMK squabbling over the choice of seats translates into cross voting? What if Alagiri, who has predicted a rout for his party and has even gone to the extent of saying that his father M.Karunanidhi must be saved from 'evil forces', dents their poll prospects in the South? Unlike cricket, politics is no 'gentleman's game' (not that today's cricket is, you may argue!) and can have many 'ifs' and 'buts'.
What's clear at this stage is that Jayalalithaa is likely to get the most runs on the board in the Tamil Nadu clash. What that number is and how the national scene pans out will determine her next move. As for the 'wave', first watch out for the cross currents in less than two months.

Giles Coren out loud

2012 will surely go down in history as the greatest in the history of British sport. Hosting the Olympic Games in London meant that it was always going to be a year to savour, but no one dared imagine how spectacularly successful the Games would be for British athletes or that the event would be such an organisational triumph.
The hype and expectation was almost suffocating but in the end London 2012 exceeded everyone's wildest dreams. And, just to rekindle the national euphoria, the Paralympic Games a few weeks later were also a huge success. Add to that a first British victory for 76 years in a grand-slam tennis tournament, a British victory in the Tour de France and an fairytale comeback by Europe in the Ryder Cup and it is easy to see why many sports commentators think we may never have it so good again.
The Times is the sports newspaper of the year and its award-winning writers covered all these amazing stories and many more. In this e-book you can relive these great stories as they were reported from press boxes around the world.

Hi, we're Kendall & Danyielle, mother and daughter, owners of this lovely vacation rental in Fabulous Las Vegas. This was our home at one time and since Las Vegas is such a popular tourist spot, we thought we would turn this spacious house into a comfortable vacation rental for visitors to stay in while they are here.
Kendall King purchased this house in 2005
We're located in a quiet residential neighborhood. We chose this location because it's far away enough from the hustle and bustle of the Strip and night life, yet close enough to enjoy it when you want to and to be able to get there within 30 minutes. Also we're centrally located to get to a lot of the natural attractions our city has to offer.
The house offers a single-story open floor plan for easy access, especially for a lot of retiree-vacationers who want to come out to spend time in Las Vegas during the winter months. Lots of closet space, espcially in the master bedroom. Eight foot oak pool table for entertainment. We also have a comfortable hot tub for two for soaking in after days of hiking at Red Rock Canyon and Valley of Fire or skiing at Mt. Charleston
We just want to say what a wonderful time we had in Las Vegas and how much we enjoyed your home. Everything was perfect for our stay. Kendall and Danyielle were the perfect hostesses. The beds were comfy, the bathrooms were immaculate and so well decorated and the kitchen is huge. We especially like the backyard with all the trees you have. We had breakfast out there several mornings. We did a lot of local things and also went to the Strip several times. Our stay was just what we needed -- relaxed and a total change of pace. The weather was great too. We'll certainly be back next year!
The house was so beautiful, big and well equipped. We enjoyed a lot during our stay there. Everything you need is available there. Soaking in the hot tub was fantastic. We really loved the pool table. Beds were very comfortable and it was overall a great stay. Moreover the red rock canyon and fire valley is 30 mins away which was good.
The house was very clean, nicely decorated and fully stocked. Plenty of little extras that were just nice and not expected. The owners always responded quickly to emails and texts and even took a phone call right away when there was some confusion on my part. A very positive experience all around. This was the first time we used VRBO/Homeaway and would definitely recommend this rental and both websites.
This place is beautiful! Walked in and immediately greeted by a beautiful pool table. As I continue to explore the house I realize it was exactly what I read about but even better. So spacious and had every single thing you needed. The spa in the backyard just say so perfectly, although we did not use it, im sure it would of hit the spot. I would recommend this place to anyone and would definitely stay here again.
P.S they leave chocolated upon arrival!
Enjoyed our stay at your beautiful and very comfortable "home away from home" setting! Photos & description of your listing were very accurate. Everything was very well set up with instructions detailed in a ring binder and although it might seem like a lot of rules to follow it was really how we should all take care of our own homes and not difficult to do. Owner was very prompt to reply to questions and security deposit was refunded in full very promptly following our stay! I would definitely return and also recomend it as your rental house was reasonably priced, well furnished, and convenient to anything we wanted to do in LV as long as you have a car!
This very nice 3 bedroom, 2 bath rental home is in every way as advertised. Still in doubt? Read all the reviews here. None are overstated and all are a true reflection of this vacation property. We should know since we just stayed here for March and April 2014. After the first week, this felt like home. So comfortable and convenient.
It was the perfect location for our stay as it is so close to Centennial Hills area where our son and family have their home. We stayed here for the birth of our newest granddaughter. This home was perfect for sleepovers for their 5 year old boy/girl twins and to host family meals on the weekends.
Not much else to say that hasn't already been said about the home. I'm sure that the owners, Kendall and Danyielle, (very nice folks btw) will continue to maintain it to very high standards. We have reserved it again for next winter. That's how nice it is!
Three us of shared this comfortable home for a week. It is the perfect size for a small gathering of friends or two couples, in a quiet location but close to freeways and amenities.
The house is well-equipped and well-maintained, and the owners are very accommodating. We really enjoyed our stay here and would stay again.

A family run ethos, top notch facilities and enviable location
Set in its own wonderful gardens, the Veronica Hotel combines charm and style to great effect. Inside, cool stone tiled floors throughout give it that distinctive Mediterranean feel. While its soft furnishings and comfortable chairs give it the feeling of a comfortable home away from home too.
The outdoor swimming pool is fringed with trees, giving it a Caribbean feel, and offering lots of cool shade to relax in, pre or post swim. We certainly recommend an afternoon dip, a snooze and a little something from the pool-side snack bar or some time in the games room.
Then if you fancy a siesta, you'll find your room wonderfully conducive to a pleasant afternoon nap as well as a peaceful night's sleep. The clean, white walls and tiled floors keep that fresh cool vibe going, and make each room a quiet haven away from the holiday hustle and bustle.
All twin-bedded, en suite rooms are air conditioned and feature a private balcony. And a little part of every day should certainly be spent on the balcony with a cool drink in hand. Rooms also feature phone, TV and hairdryer. A mini fridge is available on request.
As well as the poolside snack bar, the Veronica Hotel in Paphos features an expansive restaurant.

In the state of New York, the Thruway Authority is proposing
a 45% toll hike on the trucking industry. Chairman of the Thruway Authority, Howard
Milstein, calls the hike "modest" even as the New York State Motor Truck
Association has stated that the tax would be passed on to consumers in the form of higher prices.
With the economy sputtering and new taxes on the horizon, the last thing New York should
think about doing is raising tolls that will directly affect business.
Governor Andrew Cuomo claims New York is "open for business"
but the Thruway Authority's toll hike plan is thoroughly anti-business. A new tax
would not only mean less employment opportunities for state residents but also further wear and tear
of municipal roads not meant to facilitate truck traffic.
New York is already ranked last in the nation for being
business-friendly. Tell Governor Cuomo to reverse this trend and say no to the toll hike.
Stop the 45% Toll Hike on Trucks!
Dear [Decision Maker],
It has come to my attention that the Thruway Authority of New York is proposing a 45% toll hike on trucks. Such a tax will have both immediate and far-reaching implications. The New York State Motor Truck Association has said it will result in higher prices on consumer goods. If that isn't bad enough, state Assemblyman Steven McLaughlin points out a toll hike will cause trucks to avoid the Thruway which would result in less revenue and lead to greater wear and tear on local roads.As Governor, you have the power to stop such an economy crippling tax. New York is already considered the least business-friendly state in the country. A tax hike on the trucking industry will only make matters worse.Stop trying to force New York residents to pay for further government spending they have been taxed enough already.
Sincerely,[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State ZIP]

VisionTek GeForce3
By: Brian Gray - May 7, 2001
Another generation of video cards has arrived and a revolutionary chip has been retired. The groundbreaking GeForce gave way to the GeForce2 and now the GeForce3 is poised to take PC gaming to the next level. Visiontek has been fabbing boards for the GeForce family since its inception, most of that time as a behind the scenes supplier. A recent move to retail by VisionTek places one of the best card manufacturers on the shelves along side Hercules, ELSA and others, and deservedly so.
The GeForce3 is a technological powerhouse at the top of the VisionTek line which includes a GTS/Pro mid-market offering, and several MX value options.
Mike's GeForce3 Preview is one of the best on the web and you should use it to review the technical specs and new features of the next-gen GeForce. What I want to do is take this oppurtunity to comment on a few aspects of the GeForce3.
GeForce3 Comparison
The GeForce3 is a jump forward in fab technology. Nothing available to the consumer can rival the GeForce3 in design complexity and scale. When NVIDIA decided to take on adding 22 million transistors, they went with the .15u process, allowing for similar sized packaging as the GeForce2 as well as similar heat output and power consumption despite the huge jump in transistor count. Very cool.
You may have noticed a lack of MTexel ratings above. I have hinted before that the video card industry was going to move away from raw numbers and start pushing the features. I love when I am right. Instead of Gigapixel plastered all over the box, we see a move to listing features like High Resolution Anti-Aliasing, the nFiniteFX engine, and Lightspeed Memory Architecture. Quite a bit of evolution in rather short period of time.
VisionTek is one of the first to market with their GeForce3 offering. Good thing too, because it will also probably be one of the cheapest. Why is it important that the cheapest card hits first? The lower the barrier to entry, the sooner you will see widespread developer implementaion of new features this card is capable of.
I will be taking a multiple part approach to reviewing the VisionTek GeForce3. The more time you spend with the card, the more you realize how difficult it is to quantify what the GeForce3 can bring to your gaming experience.
Let's start with the card, installation and a little overclocking experimentation.

Latest Mars Stories
When the Mars Orbiter Mission Mangalyaan (MOM) successfully entered orbit around the Red Planet, it was a defining moment for the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) – but as media reports published late last week revealed, it also shed light on some of the challenges facing the country's fledgling space program.
NASA's Curiosity Mars rover has collected its first taste of the layered mountain whose scientific allure drew the mission to choose this part of Mars as a landing site.
On September 19, Mars Chocolate North America announced the recall of specific lots of its M&M's milk chocolate theater box 3.40 oz due to allergy alert.
NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft has obtained its first observations of the extended upper atmosphere surrounding Mars.
WASHINGTON, Sept.
Looking across the Mars landscape presents a bleak image: a barren, dry rocky view as far as the eye can see. But scientists think the vista might once have been quite different. It may have teemed with water and even been hospitable to microbial life. What changed?
Just days after NASA's MAVEN spacecraft successfully entered orbit around Mars, a probe designed and built in India remains on pace to arrive at the Red Planet on Wednesday morning.
On September 5, Mars Chocolate North America announced the recall of its Twix Unwrapped Bites 7 oz. Stand Up Pouch with specific code date due to allergy alert on undeclared peanuts and egg.

Terraforming -- Terraforming (literally, "Earth-shaping") is the process of modifying a planet, moon or other body to a more habitable atmosphere, temperature or ecology. The term was first used in a science fiction novel, 'Seetee Shock' (1940?) by Jack Williamson, but the actual concept is older than that. An example in fiction is 'First and Last Men' by Olaf Stapledon in which Venus is modified, after a long and destructive war with the original inhabitants, who naturally object to the...
Extraterrestrial Life -- Extraterrestrial life is life beyond planet Earth (apart from humans travelling in space, and living organisms they bring along or send). There are many questions about extraterrestrial life, including: -- Does it exist? -- Where? -- What kind? -- Could there be non-carbon based life forms, e.g. life forms based on other elements like silicon (See Carbon chauvinism)? -- How does life differ depending on the type of structure (unicellular life,...
Drake Equation -- The Drake equation (also known as the Green Bank equation) is a famous result in the speculative fields of xenobiology and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. This equation was devised by Dr. Frank Drake in the 1960s in an attempt to estimate the number of extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy with which we might come in contact. The main purpose of the equation is to allow scientists to quantify the uncertainty of the factors which determine the number...
Olympus Mons -- Olympus Mons is the tallest mountain in the solar system, at 25 km. Located on Mars, and officially called by its Latin name Olympus Mons. It is named for the mountain on Earth. Olympus Mons is an apparently extinct shield volcano, the result of highly fluid magma flowing out of volcanic vents over a long period of time, and is much wider than it is tall; the average slope of Olympus Mons' flanks is very gradual. The Hawaiian islands are an example of similar shield...

Flash flooding hits rain-soaked mid-Atlantic
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Waves of heavy showers and
thunderstorms drenched Washington and the surrounding
mid-Atlantic on Sunday, triggering flash flooding that swelled
streams over their banks and shut roads throughout the region.
"Washington up through Baltimore has received between five
and seven inches of rain today and most of it was in about a
six-hour period," National Weather Service meteorologist Andy
Woodcock said.
"In many, many counties, rescues … cars that got stuck in
water, many road closures. It's been a very bad day, he said.
Up to two more inches of rain were predicted in some
locations before showers and thunderstorms were expected to
begin tapering off around 3 a.m EDT, The National Weather
Service said.
A flash flood warning was in effect for the entire
Washington metropolitan area, which includes Montgomery and
Prince Georges counties in Maryland, Arlington and Fairfax
counties in Virginia.
The heavy rainfall in a such a short time-frame was unusual
for Washington, destroying a single-day record for June 25 that
goes back to 1870, Woodcock said.
Police blocked off traffic on major thoroughfares
throughout the region as heavy rains caused flooding of
underpasses, streams and low-lying streets, including a stretch
of Constitution Avenue, a major Washington thoroughfare, and
Massachusetts Avenue in suburban Maryland.
In Germantown, Maryland, off-duty firefighters jumped into
action to rescue a woman trapped in a car that had been caught
by water from a swollen creek, local Fox TV News reported.
"My car was stuck against the guardrail and the water
started coming up from under the car. It was up to the windows,
So I was flipping out," Patti Damiano told Fox after she was
plucked from the car. "Thank God they came and got me out."
The concluding round of the Booz Allen Classic golf
tournament in Potomac, Maryland, was suspended because of
lightning after teeing off six hours behind schedule because of
drenching rain. Play was scheduled to resume early on Monday.
The National Weather Service forecast for the area did not
look good. "I think we're going to have rain for the next
couple of days," Woodcock said. "We have the potential for more
problems, especially on Tuesday."

'The Bachelor' gets Ben Stiller-produced Web spoof
NEW YORK On the surface, "Burning Love" is eerily identical to "The Bachelor."
All of the hallmarks of the ABC reality series are here: the steady, melodramatic winnowing of suitors, the shallowness masquerading as romance, the cheesy up-lighting on a remote mansion.
But while "Burning Love," a new Web series currently streaming on Yahoo, adheres to many traditions of "The Bachelor," it greatly inflates others. The vacant bachelor is a firefighter who cheerfully introduces himself in front of a burning building. Instead of roses, he awards women hoses. One contestant is so outrageously trampy, she goes through the entire show without pants and her lower half graphically blurred.
"I'm looking for someone who can make me laugh but isn't afraid of robots," says the firefighter Mark Orlando (Ken Marino). "Maybe somebody ethnic."
"Burning Love" - created by Erica Oyama, directed by Marino and produced by Ben Stiller's production company, Red Hour - is one of the funnier Web series to come along. Its 14 episodes, nine minutes each (new episodes are released weekly on Mondays and Thursdays), bear obvious affection for "The Bachelor" while satirizing it mercilessly.
The female contestants include an elderly woman, a pregnant woman (who gives birth on the show) and a homeless woman. Jennifer Aniston (in a panda suit) and Kristen Bell make cameos, as does Adam Scott, playing a therapist. Stiller makes a guest appearance, and Michael Ian Black plays the overly dramatic host, who's full of insincere remarks, ("Good luck, brother").
"What's funny, we noticed during screenings of our show, people became invested in these characters as ridiculous as they are," Oyama says.
"Burning Love" was initially conceived by Oyama, who became infatuated with "The Bachelor" and its sister show, "The Bachelorette," while caring for her then-infant son. She and Marino are married with two young children.
Marino, a co-founding member of the 1990s sketch group The State who's grown into co-writing comedies like "Role Models" and "Wanderlust" while steadily working as an actor (the cultishly adored Starz series "Party Down"), says there are two kinds of viewers of "The Bachelor," those who watch ironically and those who get swept up into it.
"Actually, there are three types of people," Marino says. "I'm the third, which is a hybrid. I know how ridiculous it is, but I can't help but watch."
For Oyama, who's previously written episodes of the Web series "Wainy Days" and "Children's Hospital," "Burning Love" is her first project all her own. (She hopes to make a "Bachelorette"-style second season.)
For Marino, it's another example of his particular gifts as a comic actor. He plays Orlando (as he did his striving but luckless caterer Ron Donald on "Party Down") totally straight, without a wink and with total commitment.
Marino seems to have great sympathy for his characters, even if they aren't the sharpest guys around. Stiller says he's got a knack for playing "incredibly stupid," a harder task than it appears. Black calls his Orlando "a perfect idiot" and Marino's performance "next-level funny."

Fluid Changes and other maintenance things.
As Ive only had my truck a short time I am going through and changing out fluids and will continue from there to get all the maintenance to where I know everything has been done.
So far, trans fluid changed (rebuilt more or less last month), engine oil (full synthetic with 15,000 mile filter, radiator flushed (4 times in a row till no discolor was seen in the water).
I figure before I move onto things like sensors, valves, plugs, wires... Id just finish up all the fluids. The truck has 109K on so am guessing its time to do em all. So what id like is a list of suggested maintenance things that would be good to do starting with fluids. Am a good hand man / fix em guy but dont have much experience with autos. So if something maybe outta my league, please mention it. Also, on the list is breaks. Fronts are starting to squeak, I looked at rotors(?) and they seem grooved but still very good thickness on em. Have them shaved or replaced?
Any info / suggestions would be great. Thanks!

This was the second time we have stayed at this wonderful lake house. We were with our kids and grandkids and everyone always wants to return again because it has something for all ages to enjoy. The kids love the party barn and we all enjoyed the covered deck and fishing dock. The house is well maintained and the beds were all comfy. We have tried other places, but none can compare to this place.
The cabin was beautiful and so accommodating. The best-stocked cabin for kitchen convenience that we have ever stayed in. We enjoyed the beautiful view from the porch and watching a thunderstorm across the lake in the evening, romping the large and well-maintained grounds, s'mores by the fire and the game barn. What a great variety of games there were to play there for all ages! We also found 3 different types of frogs and got to see a live armadillo, and it was so wonderfully quiet out there! We would recommend it as a wonderful place to get the family together for some old-fashioned fun!
This property has everything. Accommodations were great, plenty of towels and linens. Kitchen had everything you can imagine. Contact owner before you pack. Owner very easy to work with and graciously supplied pack and play and highchair. Used smoker three times along with grill outside. Beautiful property and plenty of room for everyone. We were able to have family activities outside and enjoy the outside deck. The highlight for the kids was the game barn, what an excellent addition to the property. All the kids wanted to go there every day and the adults watched all the football games on the large screen TV. Game barn includes refrigerator and sink!! Everybody is planning to come back in the summer sometime!! Gated facility and great for dogs. PS: Housekeeper stopped in to check on us to see if everything was ok.. Cabin is about 1 1/2 from Dallas but this did not stop us from coming, location is fantastic if you want privacy and lakefront!!

Head of a Buddha, Mon–Dvaravati period, 9th century
Thailand (Ratchaburi Province)
Stucco; H. 10 3/4 in. (27.3 cm)
Gift of The Kronos Collections, 1987 (1987.417.5)
This head is an ideal example of the refined Mon-Dvaravati period. The subtle articulation of planes that make up the face is characteristic of this high moment of sculptural refinement. The fact that it is fabricated in stucco suggests it originally embellished an architectural structure.
