Temps across US cool slightly, but it's still hot
PHILADELPHIA Americans in much of the country will be getting a slight break from the oppressive heat on Sunday, one day after temperatures rose to above 100 degrees from the central states to the mid-Atlantic. Yet for many, the cooler temperatures won't exactly be comfortable, falling only into the 90s.
Cooler air is sweeping southward in the eastern half of the country, bringing down some temperatures by 15 or more degrees from Saturday's highs. In St. Louis, the 13-degree drop from Saturday's high still will leave residents baking in 93-degree weather - the high Saturday was a record 106.
Temperatures in Philadelphia, Washington, and Indianapolis will fall to the low 90s or upper 80s on Sunday after crossing the 100 mark on Saturday. Residents in Louisville, Ky., can expect a high of 95, one day after 105-degree temperatures.
For many areas, the cooler temperatures were ushered in by thunderstorms that knocked out power to thousands.
In New Jersey, a line of strong, fast-moving storms knocked out power to nearly 70,000 in Ocean and Monmouth counties on Saturday night. By Sunday morning, Jersey Central Power & Light's website reports that more than 23,000 customers were still without electricity.
The heat also is blamed for more than 30 deaths across the country. A 4-month-old girl died and a 16-month-old girl was hospitalized Saturday in separate incidents in suburban Indianapolis when both were found trapped in cars during near-record 105-degree heat.
Residents from Iowa to New Jersey spent the trying to stay cool. They dipped into the water, went to the movies and rode the subway just to be in air conditioning.
If people ventured outside to do anything, they did it early. But even then, the heat was stifling.
"It was baking on the 18th green," said golfer Zeb Rogerson, who teed off at 6 a.m. at an Alexandria, Va., golf course but was sweltering by the end of his round.
Officials said the heat caused highways to buckle in Illinois and Wisconsin. In Maryland, investigators said heat likely caused rails to kink and led a Metro train to partially derail in Prince George's County on Friday afternoon. No one was injured, and 55 passengers were safely evacuated.
Micah Straight, 36, brought his three daughters to dance in jets of water spurting from a "sprayground" near Philadelphia's Logan Square fountain to cool off.
"We got here early, because I don't think we'll be out this afternoon - we'll be in the air conditioning," he said. "So I wanted to get them out, get some sunshine, get tired."
In South Bend, Ind., serious kayakers took to the East Race Waterway, a 1,900-foot long manmade whitewater course near downtown.
"A lot of times I'll roll over just to cool off," said Robert Henry of Carmel, just north of Indianapolis. "The biggest challenge is walking coming back up carrying a kayak three-eighths of a mile in this heat."
In Manhattan, customers who stepped in to see "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" at an IFC movie theater were there for more than entertainment.

Antennae to be erected on church tower to help improve CCTV coverage in Soham
Posted: May 23, 2014|
Antennae will be mounted on the tower of a 12th century church to help improve CCTV coverage in Soham.
It was in January that the City of Ely Council applied for planning permission to erect four antenna on the tower of St Andrew's Church in Soham.
The city council, which is responsible for CCTV monitoring in Ely and Soham, has recently switched to a new digital wireless camera system and needs the antennae to transmit live pictures from the town back to Ely police station.
The proposals have now been approved by East Cambridgeshire District Council.
In its application, the city council said the antennae would be "installed sympathetically" on the tower to ensure there is "no harm to the significance to the heritage asset".
English Heritage said it was "satisfied" with the proposals, even though the Grade I listed church sits within Soham's conservation area.
In a letter to the district council, Sheila Stones, inspector of historic buildings and areas, said: "English Heritage is satisfied that the proposals would not harm the significance of this highly important heritage asset.
"We would have no objection should your authority be minded to approve the application for planning permission."
The City of Ely Council and Soham Town Council jointly fund a CCTV system which covers the centres of both locations.
There are also antennae on the tower of Ely Cathedral.

Tower Power Pokey
World 2 Boss: Tower Power Pokey
Tower Power Pokey is the boss of World 2. He has a total of 300 HP.
Make sure you have the Bat Thing Sticker.
The battle will begin with most of Tower Power Pokey's body buried in the sand except for it's head. Don't rush to use the Bat Thing Sticker!
Wait for all of his body segments to appear and then use the Bat Thing Sticker. This will hit every segment of his body only leaving his head available for attack.
Sometimes, Tower Power Pokey will summon two green (spike-less) Pokeys. A good idea to defeat them fast is to use Shiny Ice or Fire Flower Sticker.
When Tower Power Pokey starts to run low on HP, a flower pop from it's head and it will heal 10 HP. So make sure to deal a lot of damage as fast as you can.
The Soda Thing Sticker is a good way to make Tower Power Pokey soggy and it also deals decent damage.

Think you're the captain of the corporate ship, leading the way to the future? Ha! Think again.
Chances are your employees have you dancing on a string ... at least some of the time.
Here's how they do it.
Your employee wants to hide something but wants plausible deniability. He writes a long memo or report peripherally related to your goals, but relevant enough for you to get CC'd. He sandwiches the fact he wants to bury in the middle of the next-to-the-last paragraph. Chances are you'll ignore or trash the memo; even if you read it, you'll probably skim over the important part. If you later complain, the employee points out that he sent you the relevant information.
Your employee wants you to make a decision that is favorable to his career. He therefore prepares three possible approaches to a business issue--making certain that two, while plausible on the surface, run the risk of total disaster. For example, one might put your entire company into bankruptcy, while the second would make everyone in the company quit. The third choice, of course, is the only viable option--and just happens to be the one that's advantageous to the employee.
Your employee wears a frazzled expression--permanently. He never goes anywhere without holding a huge stack of papers and then strides like he's on a mission, even when he's just off to the restroom. When anyone asks "How are you?" he rolls your eyes and says: "Working my **s off!" He commits to dozens of meetings, but then sends regrets that he's "too busy" to attend. Soon he's known as the office workaholic, when in fact he's secretly relaxing.
Your employee secretly wants you to fail. (Maybe he wants your job?) He waits until you're about to give a crucial presentation or attend an important meeting and then reveals a piece of information guaranteed to throw you off your game. He provides this, of course, under the guise of being "helpful," so you really can't complain--especially while your mind is reeling from the sudden bad news.
You call a meeting to discuss, say, the quarterly budget. Your employee suggests including some extra people in the meeting and you agree, because it kind of make sense. But as the meeting progresses, it gradually morphs into a discussion of some completely different issue that the employee wants to work on--with the extra attendees now backing his position.
Employees don't want to be caught in an outright lie, so many become adept at telling truths that leave you completely misinformed. Examples include making minor statistical differences seem significant, telling a partial truth but leaving out a key fact, emphasizing an irrelevant but distracting fact, and disguising the truth by hitting your emotional hot buttons. (Note: Our public servants are particularly adept at this.) --Geoffrey James

Stylish Necklaces to Flaunt This Season
By Kasmin Fernandes | posted May 3rd 2013 at 1:00AM
Image courtesy: Anuja Gupta, Tejas Kudtarkar
The daisy flower neckpiece (pic left)
Seen at: Valliyan by Nitya Arora
Why wear it? This style has an innocence to it. The flowers are the kind little girls draw in kindergarten. "I linked various such flowers made from semi-precious stones with chains to form a symmetrical detachable necklace that can be worn by anyone from five to 40," says Arora.
The clear necklace (pic right)
Seen at: Pallavi Foley
Why wear it? Transparent accessories are a great way to infuse a bit of futurism and sports luxe into your wardrobe. Foley entwined opulent gold with a giant transparent neckpiece, so you have the best of both worlds. Look for necklaces made from plastic or perspex and wear with clothes in pop pastels.
The body piece (pic left)
Seen at: Outhouse by Kaabia and Sasha Grewal
Why wear it? This modern recreation of vintage jewellery comes in different types depending on its length and coverage. This particular version is called the neck to waist body piece. Says Delhi-based accessory designer Kaabia Grewal, "It works like embroidery for a plain outfit. Use it to elevate your ensemble, whether it's a gown or a casual tee worn over a pair of jeans."
The ladder shawl (pic right)

Why wear it? Ladder necklaces are delicate geometric accessories inspired by architecture. Foley showcased one at the recent Lakmé Fashion Week 2013 that looked like a shawl draped around the neck! Innovative and wearable.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Great Fans
The fans were exactly what I ordered with a very nice quality paper. They were a big hit at the beach wedding. I would not hesitate to order again from this company.
For the most part exceeded my expectations
What impressed me the most other than the design and the product was the quality of the service. My order was a rush order as things kept changing and I needed it in time to travel overseas. The phone representatives and the design deparment all worked with me to get the order out on time. I actually received it earlier than the expected date. The only minor issue was the last two segments of my program had to be placed on one line instead of separate lines due to space constraints
Great product
I was a little hesitant on ordering as I considered making my own wedding programs. I was very wrong! These programs were so beautiful and made with great quality. They even included some extra in the order!

A sign is edge lit and illuminated by an array of light emitting diodes disposed along an edge of a light transmissive panel. A light diffusion surface, which can be formed by a series of serrations on the panel edge, disperses light from the discrete light emitting diodes in the array. A geometric figure, which can be text or graphics or both is formed on one face of the panel by grooves, which redirect diffused light so that an illuminated image, corresponding to the geometric figure, can be seen on the front of the panel. The grooves forming the figure and the light diffusion surface comprise parts of a one-piece panel, and the grooves and the light diffusion surface can be formed when the panel is injection molded.
1. A sign including an edge lit image, the sign comprising:
a panel fabricated from a light transmitting material, the panel including a figure formed by at least one surface discontinuity on the face of the panel, and a light diffusion surface formed along one edge of the panel, the light diffusion surface extending transversely relative to the one face of the panel, the at least one surface discontinuity and the light diffusion surface being formed on a one-piece substrate forming the panel; and
an array of discrete light sources comprising multiple light sources disposed side by side in a line extending between opposite ends of the panel and extending along the one edge of the panel so that light shines through the light diffusion surface to be laterally dispersed to evenly shine through panel to strike the at least one surface discontinuity to form an illuminated edge lit image conforming to shape of the at least one surface discontinuity, wherein the light diffusion surface has a depth varying between opposite ends of the array of discrete light sources and with a depth varying between adjacent individual light sources in the line extending along the one edge of the panel to evenly disperse light between the discrete light sources over the surface discontinuity, wherein the surface discontinuity comprises at least one groove recessed into one face of the panel and formed by sides formed at an acute angle relative to the one face of the panel, both the light diffusion surface and the at least one groove being formed on the one-piece substrate forming the panel, with the light diffused be the light diffusion surface striking the sides forming the at least one groove to form the illuminated edge lit image conforming to the sides of the at least one groove, and wherein
the discrete light source are mounted on a flexible circuit, and the panel includes a shelf extending beyond the light diffusion surface and laterally beyond one face of the panel, the flexible circuit being mounted on the shelf.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to signs illuminated by edge lighting. This invention also relates to the use of discrete light sources, such as light emitting diodes to illuminate a figure, so that only the figure is illuminated relative to the substrate on which the figure is formed.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Edge lit signs or signboards employing fluorescent lamps mounted adjacent one edge of a light transmissive panel have been employed to illuminate characters or figures on one face of the panel. Since a standard tubular fluorescent lamp emits a substantially uniform illumination along its entire length, it will uniformly illuminate a figure or a series of characters extending between opposite ends of the fluorescent lamp and presumably along substantially the entire length of the sign.
It has been recognized that light emitting diodes possess certain advantages over fluorescent lamps when used in edge lit illuminated signs. U.S. Pat. No. 6,341,440 is one example of the use of a series light emitting diodes or LED's disposed in a linear array in such a sign. Of course, standard LED's comprise discrete light sources when compared to a standard tubular fluorescent lamp. In order to illuminate a series of characters on a clear panel, it is therefore necessary to disperse or diffuse the light emitted by discrete LED's. U.S. Pat. No. 6,341,440 employs a light diffusion strip with a series of semicircular holes in which individual LED's are located. This diffusion strip is separate from the clear panel containing display characters or ornamental markings, and the diffusion strip is located adjacent one edge of the clear panel. According to this patent, the light is diffused so that the light emitted by individual LED's can enter an edge of the panel with a uniform hue, which presumably means that the light from individual LED's is diffused before entering the clear panel.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,615,520 discloses another example of an edge lit sign employing discrete LED's. In this version, LED's, fiber optic devices or halogen bulbs are fitted in tight fitting orifices along one edge of the panel. These orifices are described as tight fitting and well polished to allow for optimum transmission of light from the discrete light sources into the display board. Improved light transmission and efficiency is apparently of paramount importance. To diffuse the light, this device apparently employs reflective strips located in a receptacle in which the display board is mounted. The edges of the display board slope away from the centrally mounted LED's so that reflective walls of the panel insure little loss of light.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,481,130 is another example of an edge lit sign that employs a separate member to disperse the light form discrete LED's. This device employs both a reflector and a lens portion.
These devices, however, use a separate diffuser and light transmissive panel and appear to require precision in mounting the LED's relative to either the diffuser or the clear panel. These devices also appear to use a rather small number of LED's. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,341,440 shows three sets of red, blue and green LED's and U.S. Pat. No. 6,615,520 shows only three LED's. It would appear to follow that these devices must either employ relatively strong LED's or the displayed light intensity must be relatively weak. These devices also employ multiple components that appear to require precision in assembly.
The instant invention employs a light transmissive panel that includes both geometric figures or display characters and a diffusion surfaces that are integral part of the one-piece panel. This simplifies construction and provides an economical means for employing a relatively larger plurality of discrete light sources, such as LED's.
A sign in accordance with this invention incorporates a means for illuminating an edge lit image. A panel fabricated from a light transmitting material includes a figure formed by at least one groove recessed into one face of the panel and formed by sides formed at an acute angle relative to the face of the panel. A light diffusion surface is formed along one edge of the panel. The light diffusion surface extends transversely relative to the face of the panel. The grooves, recessed into the face of the panel, and the light diffusion surface are parts of a one-piece substrate forming the panel. An array of discrete light sources is disposed along the one edge of the panel so that light shines through the light diffusion surface to be dispersed to evenly shine through panel to strike the sides forming at least one groove to form an illuminated edge lit image conforming to the sides of the at least one groove.
In one version, this edge lit sign includes a molded plastic panel having opposed faces and peripheral edges extending between the opposed faces. The outline of a shape is formed by a series of grooves on the molded plastic panel, which extend into one face of the panel. An array of light diffusion surfaces is formed on the molded plastic panel and extends into one edge of the panel. Light from an array of discrete light sources is dispersed by the array of light diffusion surfaces so that the diffused light shines on the outline of the shape with the grooves redirecting the light so that an illuminated image corresponding to the outline of the shape is visible on one face of the panel.
In this illuminated sign, adjacent light emitting diodes are spaced apart between opposite ends of the linear light source array. The geometric design formed on the flat panel has a length, parallel to the linear array, greater than the spacing between adjacent light emitting diodes. The multiple light emitting diodes illuminate the geometric design, which forms a discontinuity on one surface of the flat panel, to redirect light engaging indented surfaces forming the geometric design. The diffusion surface on the edge of the flat panel is juxtaposed to the linear array so that the diffusion surface laterally disperses light emitted by the light emitting diodes adjacent the one edge of the flat panel to more evenly illuminate the geometric design.
The preferred embodiment of the edge lit illuminated sign 2 according to this invention includes a one-piece panel 10 with a geometric
The panel 10 can have any desired shape, but in the representative embodiment depicted herein, panel 10 has a generally rectangular shape having a length and width that are greater than the depth or thickness of the panel 10. In the embodiment depicted herein, the thickness of the panel 10 is approximately 0.188 inch. Typical thicknesses for molded panels could be from one-eighth inch to one-fourth inch.
Panel 10 has a front face 12, through which an edge illuminated image in the form of the geometric
The individual light emitting diodes 62 forming the array 60 of discrete light sources are mounted on a conductive film or circuit board 64, which is in turn connected to a conventional source of electrical energy, not shown. Leads on the light emitting diodes extend at right angle relative to the axis of the light emitting diode, which in turn extend generally parallel to the flexible film circuit 64. Light emitting diodes or LED's 62 can be any of a number of types of standard LED's. The LED's 62 are all identical monochromatic LED's having the same color, although if desired LED's of different colors may be employed. In this embodiment, adjacent LED's are spaced apart by a distance of 0.5 inches. Spacings between LED's depend upon the application and spacings from 0.3 to 1.0 inches have been found suitable for certain applications. The LED's employed in this invention can be chosen from a variety of commercially available LED's. For example, the LED's can employ different lens so that angle through which light will be emitted through the lens can be chosen to meet the specific application. For example, a wide angle LED can be chosen for certain applications and an elliptical lens might be chosen for others, although for most applications a standard LED will be satisfactory.
In the embodiments depicted herein, the LED's 62 and the circuit board 64 forming the LED array 60 are mounted on a shelf 56, which extends beyond the illuminated edge 16. This shelf 56 comprises an integral extension of the one-piece molded panel. The flexible circuit 64 can be attached to the shelf 56 by conventional means, such as adhesives or mechanical fasteners. With the LED array 60 mounted in this manner, the individual LED's 62 can be positioned in close proximity to the illuminated edge 16 so that light will shine through the lens of the LED's 62 into the light transmissive panel 10. Although shelf 56 provides a convenient means for mounting the LED array, it should be understood that other means can be adopted for mounting the LED's 62 in close proximity to the illuminated edge 16. For example, the LED's could be mounted on a separate mounting bracket, which would in turn be attached to the panel 10.
The individual LED's 62 in the array 60 will emit light through the panel 10, between the faces 12 and 14, but that light will not evenly illuminate the
Although the serrations 62 can be molded, it should of course be understood that these serrations can be machined into the plastic substrate from which the panel 10 is formed. Machining may be desirable when only a few signs are fabricated, while molding would be more cost effective when a large number of identical signs are to be fabricated. Of course the serrations 52 can be formed as part of a standard injection molded panel subassembly, with the desired image being formed, for example by machining, at a later time. This approach may be more economical for moderate volumes. The panel subassembly, on which LED's 62 are mounted, can even be sold by the fabricator to a customer who can then machine his particular figure on the panel 10. Another alternative method of fabrication would be to employ a standard injection mold die to mold the panel 10 and the edges 16, 18, 20 and 22 as well as the diffusion surface 50, but to employ separate die inserts for different versions of the geometric
In the preferred embodiment, the illuminated image will be formed when the dispersed or diffused light emitted by the LED array 60 strikes a
Although some of the light is redirected when it strikes the inclined groove sides 44, a portion of the light continues substantially along it original path. As shown in
The grooves 42 can be molded at the same time that the panel 10 is molded. However, a relatively smooth finish of the molded grooves 42 does not produce as bright an image as would be the case if the grooves 42 were rougher than would normally be achieved by injection molding. A brighter image can be obtained by a secondary treatment to the mold, which forms the molded grooves 42. Etching of the portion of molding die that form grooves 42 is one of a number of ways to produce this rougher finish. The surfaces on the die, which mold the grooves 42, can also be machined to form a rougher surface, which can then be transferred to the molded grooves 42. If the grooves 42 are machined rather than molded, the machining will leave a rougher surface than would normally result from molding. Therefore a secondary treatment is of less importance for machined grooves 42.
In order to enhance the illumination of the geometric figure, a beveled edge 18 is formed along the side edge opposite from and remote from the edge on which the diffusion surface 50 is formed. Light transmitted through the geometric figure and incident on a smooth beveled edge 18 will be at least partially reflected back through the transparent flat panel, where it will illuminate the geometric image from the opposite side, resulting in a brighter, more distinct image. The degree of reflection can be enhanced by polishing the beveled edge 18. Alternatively, the beveled edge may be roughened by an appropriate surface treatment formed either during molding of the panel or thereafter, so that light will not be reflected but will be refracted by this roughened edge and will be visible. In this manner a visible border may be defined around the sign.
The representative embodiment of the sign 2 also includes an opaque cover 70 with cutouts or openings 72 corresponding to the image produced by the geometric
Since the light transmitted through the flat panel will only be visible in the direction perpendicular to the flat panel, where the light is reflected by surface discontinuities, such as those formed by molded, etched or machined grooves, it is possible to stack flat panels back to back as shown in
The embodiment of
The embodiment of
The embodiment of
Another embodiment of an edge lit panel configuration or sign 402 is shown in
Alterations to these representative embodiments can of course be made by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, the surface of panel may be tinted in those areas other than where the illuminated image is to be formed. If the surface has a different tint than the grooves, then the color of the image will be different from the tint on the remainder of the panel to form a different appearance. Of course the amount of tint added to the surface of the panel, must be such that most of the light incident on this tinted surface will be reflected back into the panel. Another alternative, would be to tint or color the surface discontinuities or grooves forming the geometric image to be illuminated. The color of the image or geometric figure can then be different from the color of the light emitted by the array of LED's. These, however, are merely representative examples of modifications that can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art. The embodiments depicted herein are merely representative in nature and other alternative configurations would be readily apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. The invention is therefore defined by the following claims and is not limited to the representative embodiments depicted herein.

not quit as big as elites announcement.
The UFC Has officially announced today in a pre UFC 82 press conference, that Anheuser-Busch will now start sponsoring UFC and WEC events starting on May 24 at UFC 84.
Anheuser-Busch the company that makes Budweiser and Bud Light beer, has been a major sponsor in boxing bouts for years.
The Budweiser deal is the larges sponsor to sign with the UFC to date, even over shadowing the UFC's latest mainstream sponsor Harley Davidson.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (Feb. 28, 2008) — This spring, millions of Ultimate Fighting Championship® fans will see a new heavyweight take the center of the Octagon""¢. Today Anheuser-Busch and UFC® announced that Bud Light, the world's best-selling beer, will become the new exclusive beer sponsor for the UFC.
Bud Light's three-year deal with Zuffa, LLC, owner of the UFC brand, makes the American-style light lager with superior drinkability the exclusive beer sponsor of the UFC — the world's premier mixed martial arts organization.
not quit as big as elites announcement.
They didn't announce any fights or anything cool like that? That sucks!
Love him or hate him, Dana White is a Marketing genius.
Now maybe supposedly "broke ass" UFC can afford a decent minimum wage for its lowest fighters.
Forget the millionaires, I could care less if Chuck Liddell gets an extra half million a fight.
thats how i feel cage,they got more money coming in thets see it translate into something better for the fighters and the fans and not just danas pockect book.with this money they should be able to sign the people they had been losing.
That sounds good to me. Now fighters can slip on the Budweiser logo instead of the Xience logo.
Amazing Senator Mc Cains wifes beer company to sponsor the new Las Vegas Commission owned UFC after they were the ones that shut down the seg owned UFC. How amazing this government works.

Explanation and summary
The second plague of the 10 plagues that the God of the Israelites sent as judgment upon Egypt, through Moses, was frogs covering the land, as recorded in the book of Exodus. In this plague, frogs come out of the water and cover the land. Pharaoh's magicians duplicate this plague. (It is the last one they are able to reproduce.) The Egyptian gods this plague insulted include Heqt (associated with fertility and childbirth) and perhaps others as well.
Frogs are very abundant just after the high Nile when the waters begin to recede. Spawn in the mud is hatched by the sun, and the marshes are filled with myriads of these creatures. The frog was the hieroglyph for myriads. The frogs usually remain in the marshes, but in this case they came forth to the horror and disgust of the people. "Frogs in the houses, frogs in the beds, frogs baked with the food in the ovens, frogs in the kneading troughs worked up with the flour; frogs with their monotonous croak, frogs with their cold slimy skins, everywhere - from morning to night, from night to morning - frogs."
The frog was also associated with Divinity, was the symbol of Heqt, a form of Hathor, and seems also at times to have been worshipped as divinity. This plague created such horror that thus early Pharaoh came to an agreement (Exodus 8:8-10). A time was set for the disappearance of the frogs that he might know that "there is none like unto Yahweh our God," but when the frogs were dead, Pharaoh hardened his heart (Exodus 8:15 ). In this plague "the magicians did in like manner with their enchantments" (Exodus 8:7 ). Frogs were plentiful, and it would not seem to be difficult to claim to have produced some of them.
Biblical Text (KJV)
Exodus 8:1-15
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses, Go unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, that they may serve me.
2 And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs:
3 And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs:
4 And the frogs shall come up both on thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants.
5 And the Lord spake unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over the streams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.
6 And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt; and the frogs came up, and covered the land of Egypt.
7 And the magicians did so with their enchantments, and brought up frogs upon the land of Egypt.
8 Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the Lord, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the Lord.
9 And Moses said unto Pharaoh, Glory over me: when shall I intreat for thee, and for thy servants, and for thy people, to destroy the frogs from thee and thy houses, that they may remain in the river only?
10 And he said, To morrow. And he said, Be it according to thy word: that thou mayest know that there is none like unto the Lord our God.
11 And the frogs shall depart from thee, and from thy houses, and from thy servants, and from thy people; they shall remain in the river only.
12 And Moses and Aaron went out from Pharaoh: and Moses cried unto the Lord because of the frogs which he had brought against Pharaoh.
13 And the Lord did according to the word of Moses; and the frogs died out of the houses, out of the villages, and out of the fields.
14 And they gathered them together upon heaps: and the land stank.
15 But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had said.

Teaser Images from Toy Story Short: Partysaurus Rex
Toy Story 3 already finished the story of Andy, Woody, Buzz, and the rest of his toys, and a continuation would cheapen the ending, but that doesn't mean we can't have a spin-off that revisits the Toy Story universe from the perspective of another toy. And on the September 14 release of Pixar's Finding Nemo 3D, we're going to get the chance to see the most recent Toy Story short starring the plastic dinosaur, Rex.
The short, which is titled "Partysaurus Rex", is actually the third short film in the franchise, and it's not going to be the last, since Pixar admits that they plan to keep the franchise going via more shorts and specials in the coming years. Here's a couple of teaser images from EW.com:
"If you're a bath toy you get really intense playtime. It's like a party," director Mark Walsh told EW.com. "Then when the water goes down you can't move. You're helpless. And that's pathetic, these guys in bottom of the tub all the time."

True, they kinda force you into a different playstyle while leveling up. On the other hand it is kind of a sampling mode for endgame where you can make an informed decision on what kind of ship might be best suited for you in the long run. You can fly everything from a raider, to escort, to destroyer to cruiser.... just no science ship incidentally.
At T5 you get a choice of escort, cruiser, science with variations of their new original space whale/separable ship.
In the end I will pick the T'varo because it is the most Romulan ship in all of Trek. Updated design of the original Bird of prey and the TNG warbird just doesn't cut it (same fate as the Galaxy Class).

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Ruth E. Booher, JD (Medical College of Wisconsin)
Description: This is a handbook for those considering a practice acquisition. It includes multiple appendices and a diskette with sample valuations to provide further guidance.
Purpose: As in other industries, physicians and hospital and clinic administrators are seeking to realize value by increasing practices through acquisitions. The value has been elusive for various reasons and wise buyers are reconsidering how to evaluate target practices. This book is intended to help a buyer evaluate a practice.
Audience: There are generally three audiences for a book on valuation: the seller, the buyer, and the professional appraiser. Generally, the author addresses buyers, namely hospital and clinic administrators.
Features: On some points, the author covers his subject in great detail with confusing results, while at other times he skims over complex but important points, hoping his reader will seek professional help. While he introduces many important concepts, he often fails to take the reader from the concept to its application. His illustrations are difficult to understand and fail to identify sources for the numbers, whether from the financial records of the targeted practice, from a calculation based on such source information, or from general market information. The spreadsheets include too few formulas to make them useful.
Assessment: The book reads like a cocktail party discussion, too much background noise and not enough usable information. Readers may enjoy being told that "it is a 'royal pain' to get good data." After reading this book, however, they probably will not be able to "perform a basic appraisal" or develop a "range of ballpark values" upon which they would want to recommend a purchase price for a physician practice. In my opinion, the book fails to meet its objective.

▲Tremendous panoramic views
▲ Highest point on the TRT
Segment Description
Between Brockway and Tahoe Meadows, the TRT winds through thick forests, open meadows, and across the feet of ancient volcanoes. In springtime fields of yellow mules ears sparkle against the backdrop of Lake Tahoe. This segment is prized for its spectacular windswept vistas of Lake Tahoe, the Sierras and the Carson Range.
The trail climbs away from Brockway for several miles and into the Tahoe National Forests thick and fragrant stands of pine, fir and tobacco brush. It crosses sun-splashed meadows where bright wildflowers are backed by distant lake views. The interior of the segment enters Nevada and the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest and treks along the volcanic summits and slopes of the Mt. Rose Wilderness and includes the highest point on the TRT, 10,338' Relay Peak. Long ridge traverses afford horizon-spanning, nearly continues views south across the entire Tahoe Basin and northwest over the Sierras to Mt. Lassen and beyond. As the route leaves the Wilderness, towering pines reappear to shelter the trail along its gentle descent into Tahoe Meadows. Hikers may choose to go on the 0.7 mile access trail to the Mt. Rose Summit Trail through a subalpine meadow, past a waterfall with picturesque views on the way back to the Mt. Rose Welcome Plaza.
Trail Conditions
The trail from Brockway (7,000') to Mt. Rose Summit Welcome Plaza (8,990') is generally narrow and sandy, with some rocky sections and occasional scree slopes near Rose Knob. Most of the trail maintains a 10% or less grade, but there are steeper sections.

Respond to Review of Falafelito - Condesa
by denes
Review: If you want a fast meal with a lot of fresh raw vegetables, that is your place. The tiny corner stand has an "all vegan" sign. What else would you need to confidently ask for all the ingredients in your pita or wrap. 85 pesos will get you a lemonade-hummus-chips-falafel combo with tahini and spicy sauces. What can I say, I took a taxi back the next day to rescue my family from the hotel restaurant on a rainy night. It was that fresh and nice. The street chairs/tables might bother some, but not me. It is a quiet street with a healthy looking happy local clientele. Toilet is in the park in front for a few pesos... Btw the packaging is biodegradable except some of the take-away stuff... Good place I recommend it to any vegan.

The Amphitheater of Anguish is a location and questline similar to the Ring of Blood. It is situated northeast of The Argent Stand in Zul'Drak [47.3, 57.1] and involves six different encounters. Each one is begun by talking to the owner, situated on a platform above the arena. By taking the quest, the encounter begins, and in order for it to end you must leave the arena, win, or die. It is also given by Gurgthock who has migrated to Northrend for more chances at fortune.

Reports say that Rambha was sad to hear such rumours on the day of her hubby's birthday and that irked her a lot. Some websites claimed that their paradise was in trouble and they were planning to file a divorce petition. Reacting to this, the actress reportedly said that she was happily married to Indran Pathmanathan and asked why people were spreading speculations.
Rambha and Indran Pathmanathan, a Canada-based businessman were married on April 8, 2010 in Tirupathi. After marriage, she settled in Toronto with her husband and began helping him in his business. The couple was blessed with a baby girl on January 14, 2011.

Report: Man jumps into driver's window, jumps out when deputies stop car
After unexpectedly jumping into a concerned driver's open window, a 25-year-old East Naples man landed himself in jail.
Cody James Martin, 25, of the 3400 block of Balboa Circle East, was arrested Saturday by Collier County sheriff's deputies after they say he fell out of — or was thrown out of — a black pickup on Airport-Pulling Road near Pinewood Circle.
Martin wore all black, including black tactical pants and combat boots, and carried a handgun, according to sheriff's reports.
After he ended up stranded in the road, Martin flagged down a passing driver, jumped through his open passenger-side window and told him to turn down Poinciana Way.
When deputies stopped the car, Martin jumped out, carrying a fully-loaded 9mm gun in a holster on his right side with a tactical night light. When he was ordered at gunpoint to put his hands in the air, Martin did and then yelled, "Shooting me," repeatedly.
After he was arrested, deputies noticed he was sweating and he started throwing up. Paramedics arrived on the scene to treat him, but he was uncooperative, spitting in the face of one of them, reports stated.
Martin was taken to the hospital, treated and then booked in the Naples jail.
Martin is charged with battery and openly carrying a weapon.

Moron safety--pun intended
Last week, the UK HSE (Health and Safety Executive), the UK equivalent of OSHA, reported that in their opinion, more than half of the oil and gas industry's basic assets in the UK North Sea that have been inspected over the past 3 years are in poor condition, and companies will face closure or prosecution if they do not improve safety standards. D'you think we're ever going to learn? Read the release from HSE here.

No purpose in printing story
An article in the July 25th newspaper regarding the 911 calls in the Kenton murder was in very poor taste.
We just buried my granddaughter last Saturday. Most of her mother�s family lives in Lima and will see this article. Thank God her mother doesn�t normally get The Lima News.
Our family needs to get on with their lives, let Teresa rest in peace, and let her daughter begin to heal without dredging up gory facts previously unpublished, seemingly in order to just fill space.
I think Mr. Sowinski owes an apology to the family.

RIDGEFIELD, Wash., Oct. 16 /PRNewswire/ — Pacific Power Products Company announced today it has joined the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's SmartWay Transport® Community.

Inspire Change with a Vision Board
Tune in to your grandest self, trust your intuition even if you don't understand it, and choose uplifting and inspiring phrases and photos.
Don't recycle so fast. Save those magazines and catalogs for this winter pick-me-up project that just may inspire you to take action on new ideas before the snow melts.
Creating a vision board is a fun and introspective, no-pressure way to lift the winter doldrums and begin looking ahead to brighter days. It's an opportunity to let your mind wander, daydream and envision "What Could Be." What are the changes you'd like to see in your life? What do you want to be different in your work, relationships, finances, garden, home, travel, neighborhood? Wishing won't make it happen but creating an intention and consciously taking this first step can begin to propel you towards your longings.
Don't just dive in though: as with anything important and possibly life-changing, mindfulness is needed. For several days or even weeks, contemplate what you want to be different in your life. Let this be an organic process: when you find moments of solitude during the day, let your mind wander, follow those wispy tangential trains of thought and let your ideas percolate. At the same time, start gathering magazines and catalogs that inspire you.
Any colorful publication can be useful: Give yourself permission to be drawn to colors, shapes, words, fancy lettering, and photos. You will edit later so don't judge what you're choosing, just collect. Then when you have amassed a nice pile of media, make some tea and find your scissors. Cut out everything that speaks to you. Look at the words and find new meanings in the headlines and article titles. See the photos and illustrations for what they could represent—it doesn't have to make sense to anyone but you. This is a chance to rest the left hemisphere of the brain and allow the images to spark the creativity and dreams of the right hemisphere. What draws you in? What calls to you? Quiet your intellect and let your intuition lead.
Get a large piece of thick poster board or foam core (about 20" x 30" is a good size) onto which you will glue your magazine cutouts. If you pick a bright color then any small empty spaces will peek out at you later with liveliness. On a quiet morning when you feel ready to begin, first do something that grounds you. Center yourself with a yoga practice, a deep breathing practice, meditation, chanting or a solo walk in the woods. Finding stillness is challenging in our wildly whirling interconnected times, but it's the soil from which our dreams grow. In 1938 long before our electronic age, Walter Lippman said, "Many a time I have wanted to stop talking and find out what I really believed."

Re: NF-M2 nView / FC6 / Mythtv / Crash
First of all - thank you for a quick reply ! I did read the thread mentioned above before posting a question - I should have made that clear in my earlier post.
I am running the system with pci=nommconfig all the time. I am running 32 bit kernel, not 64 bit. The only thing I did not try was idle=poll (I will try that tonight and report results), otherwise, the BIOS is flashed to 1.1 (which is the latest version on the ABIT site). I dont see how idle=poll will solve Timer / IOAPIC problem. Is it a problem ? That is, is the following ok :
..MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IOAPIC
...trying to set up timer (IRQ0) through the 8259A . failed.
...trying to set up timer as Virtual Wire IRQ... failed.
...trying to set up timer as ExtINT IRQ... works.
I get the above if I do anything but acpi_use_timer_override. Using acpi=off produces crashes repeatably within first 10 minutes of video playback.

Ollies playground
posted 7 years ago
My amazon Ollie had a playground like this. It was real enjoyable for him. He would play on the ladders and with the ropes. He would giggle and chatter as he played. When he rested he would climb to the top and sit. Over all good toy for smaller type birds. I would recommend for bird owners.
Pros: affordable, entertaining, washable, colorful
Cons: none to note

About the Owner
Hello! We are Erik and Pamela, both natives of the Pacific Northwest. After meeting in Seattle, we moved to New York and Washington, D.C. and eventually decided to return home in 2008. We love fussing over details relating to this vacation rental, when we are not working at our day jobs as an environmental attorney and residential real estate broker/freelance photographer We adore biking, skiing, fishing and trading notes with pretty much anyone on the vibrant restaurant scenes in Seattle, Portland and Vancouver B.C. We also love renovating homes (we are on our fifth in 11 years). There's just something addictive about the process of creating something personal, beautiful and functional for us, our friends and our guests to enjoy. We thought we received the highest compliment ever when one of our contractors asked if he could bring his wife to stay at the cottage for their anniversary.

MILITARY: Two Marine suicides raise total for year to 28
In order to get a better handle on Marine suicides, the service is launching a "psychological autopsy" early next year that will examine every self-inflicted death recorded in 2011.
Martin said the two-year study involves a detailed examination of the final weeks, days and minutes of each Marine who died at his own hands this year.
"Unfortunately, the stats really don't tell us much about who might kill themselves and why," he said.
The study will employ mental health specialists and others to interview the Marines' closest friends and family members and fully reconstruct what was taking place right up to the time the suicide was committed.
All of this year's active-duty Marine suicides have been committed by males, with 18 of the 28 committed by men between the ages of 21 and 25.
More than half were married, and 17 died by gunshot.

I might argue the intent of Dartmouth's royal charter (from George III) was as a tool to pacify the Native population; if you like, an instrument of colonial policy ... in much the same way Harvard is currently used as an instrument of US foreign policy. Look at where much of the Saudi royal family is educated/acculturated.
