Amtrak President and CEO Joseph Boardman says the National Railroad Passenger Corp. will require similar liability protection that Florida has offered Class I railroad CSX Corp. if Amtrak is to continue serving central Florida while SunRail regional rail service is established.
In a letter mailed Monday to the Florida Department of Transportation, Boardman said he was terminating a previous agreement Amtrak had with the state to share tracks with SunRail. In an interview Tuesday ,Boardman voiced concerns over liability if Amtrak and SunRail were involved in an accident. Boardman wants the state to shield Amtrak from some potential lawsuits and claims. "Amtrak can't take the business risk," he said.
The proposed $1.2 billion regional rail service would include six central Florida counties, with Orlando serving as the hub city. Florida has continued to work with CSX in advancing the regional rail service, which has survived several attacks from opponents within the state legislature. Under the proposal, CSX would sell roughly 61 miles of right-of-way to the state, retaining trackage rights for freight rail operations.
FDOT officials see Boardman's statements a negotiating ploy. So does Rep. John Mica (R-Fla.), who said Amtrak is "nudging" the state to come to some sort of an agreement. "It's a reminder that this has to be dealt with," said Mica, who has been critical of Amtrak in the past but does believe Amtrak truly might need an improved liability agreement.
Austin, Tex.'s Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority has set March 1 as a target date to begin test runs of its oft-delayed 32-mile Austin-to-Leander rail line and diesel multiple-unit (DMU) equipment built by Stadler.
CapMetro said it expects to begin revenue service later in the month. In anticipation, the agency has worked to alert area residents to the impending train traffic, including safety presentations at all school campuses within two miles of the route.
FRA representatives will be on hand to observe and inspect the rail operations, CapMetro spokesman Adam Shaivitz said.
Bombardier Transportation said Wednesday it had won a tender for the new regional double-deck trains organized by the French Railways (SNCF) on behalf of the French Regions. The framework contract calls for design and manufacture of 860 double-deck electrical multiple units (EMUs) for approximately 8 billion euros ($11 billion), subject to exercising some technical options.
SNCF also signed a first firm order for 80 trains valued at approximately 800 million euros ($1.1 billion), financed by the Regions, Bombardier said. So far, six Regions have placed orders, which they will finance: Aquitaine, Bretagne, Centre, Nord-Pas de Calais, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, and Rhône-Alpes.
First deliveries of the initial order are scheduled to takeplace in June 2013 and will continue until December 2015.
Bombardier says it developed a new double-deck train platform especially for this tender at its facility in Crespin, France. It includes: a modular concept to meet the Regions' various needs in terms of suburban, regional, and intercity services; wide-body cars to offer unmatched capacity and a high level of comfort; and an articulated architecture and wide connectors which create transparency throughout the length of the train and an increased sense of security.
"We thank the Regions and SNCF for their trust in this large-scale project for which Bombardier Crespin teams have demonstrated their creativity and engineering excellence. These teams are now on the starting blocks to implement this important project," said Jean Bergé, president of Bombardier Transportation France. "The solution created by our engineers is a train which stands out by its width, capacity, comfort, and polyvalence. It will become a reference product, and will support the regional rail transport development in our country."
A report released Wednesday by the Surface Transportation Board shows that Class I railroad employment fell to 145,609 in mid-January 2010, a loss of 8.72%, or 13,902 jobs, since January 2009.
The biggest loser was the train crew category transportation (train and engine), where employment declined 11.57% to 55,876, a loss of 7,311 jobs.
Other employment groups also declined: executives, officials, and staff assistants (9,029), down 10.79%; professional and administrative (13,256), down 3.61%; maintenance of way and structures (32,729), down 4.99%; maintenance of equipment and stores (28,186), down 8.16%; and transportation other than train and engine (6,533), down 10.65%.
Total January 2010 employment was down 0.78% from December 2009, indicating a continuing downward trend.
The STB report showed that the January 2010 employment index (based on 1967 as 100) was 23.7% vs. 25.9% in January 2009 and 26.5% in January 2008.
The U.S. Senate Monday voted 62-30 to end debate on the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act, ending the threat of a filibuster and clearing the way for potential passage—which could ensure additional public transit, according to the American Public Transportation Association.
APTA said the Senate is expected to vote on the bill Wednesday. The HIRE Act extends the authorization of the federal surfacetransportation program through December 31, 2010. If enacted, the Federal Transit Administration will be able to allocate the remaining 58% of formula funds that have already been appropriated for fiscal year 2010.
The HIRE Act also provides a transfer of $19.5 billion ofgeneral funds to the Highway Trust Fund, including $4.8 billion to the Mass Transit Account. This transfer is expected to ensure the solvency of the Mass Transit Account through the end of FY 2011. The Senate Finance Committee based the transfer on restoring interest payments to the Highway Trust Fund. The HIRE Act would also expand the Build America Bonds program, allowing states and local governments to borrow at lower costs to finance more infrastructure projects.
Should the Senate pass the measure, the House of Representatives could pass its version of the bill later in the week before the current extension ofsurface transportation programs expires on February 28. But, APTA notes, the House passed a larger jobs bill late last year that included an extension of The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: ALegacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) through FY10, which ends Sept. 30. The House could decide whether to accept the Senate bill "as-is," or attempt to amend it to address some of their differing priorities. APTA says it believes either action is preferable to no action at all.
APTA noted that Monday's vote included support from five Republican Senators: Kit Bond (R-Mo.), Scott Brown (R-Mass.), Susan Collins(R-Maine), Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), and George Voinovich (R-Ohio). Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson was the only Democrat to vote against the cloture motion.
New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority announced Tuesday that it plans to cut at least 1,000 positions in order to cover its latest budget gap of $378 million. MTA said it would eliminate "more than 600 represented and non-represented administrative postions," while also moving to lay off "up to 500 NYC Transit station agents."
MTA's public statement said the cuts "represent 15% of administrative payroll across the MTA, with deeper cuts at MTA headquarters." An in-house MTA memorandum offered a darker picture, suggesting headquarters staff could be reduced "by as much as 20%. In implementing the staffing reductions, the MTA will comply with applicable statutory and collective bargaining obligations covering its employees. In addition, non-represented employees who resign will be offered a severance package."
The agency said station agent positions affected originallyto be eliminated through attrition.But MTA Chairman and CEO Jay Walder said, "The State's economic crisis demands that the MTA move quickly and decisively to cut costs, and that is exactly whatwe are doing." Walder, painting the layoffs as "painful," nonetheless also described them as "the beginning of a comprehensive overhaulof how the MTA does business." The CEO said the revamp includes "reducing overtime, consolidating redundant functions, and working with suppliers to lower costs."
The current $378 million budget gap follows an earlier shortfall of $383 million. MTA last December enacted an earlier found of service cuts and administrative reductions to close that gap.
Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc., has won a $15 million contract to design, deliver, and provide services for a new smart card ticketing and revenue management system for the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA). It will be interoperable with Miami-Dade County's new EASY CARD system.
Tri-Rail, connecting Palm Beach and Broward Counties with Miami-Dade County, will be the first transit agency to join in the creation of a South Florida regional system, enabling riders to use one smart card on both systems. Palm Tran and Broward County Transit are expected to join later.
The SFRTA system will process smart cards and printed tickets and will encompass 76 ticket vending machines, 85 station validators, six ticket office machines, and 60 handheld units.
The SFRTA-Miami Dade Transit interoperability will create the first multi-agency regional system that is compliant with the American Public Transportation Association's Contactless Fare Media Standard that has been adopted in public transport as the national standard.

For the full year 2009, Wabtec Corp. Tuesday reported earnings per diluted share of $2.39, on sales of $1.4 billion. "The company generated strong cash flow from operations of $161 million, or 11.5%, marking the 12th consecutive year that Wabtec's cash flow from operations exceeded net income," said Wabtec. "At year-end, the company had cash of $189 million and debt of $392 million. With its strong balance sheet and cash flow, Wabtec believes it has ample capacity to invest in future growth opportunities."
In the fourth quarter, earnings per diluted share were 56 cents, excluding a previously announced charge of 6 cents for an arbitration ruling. Including the charge, earnings per diluted share were 50 cents, failing to meet Wall Street's 56 cents estimate. Sales decreased to $359 million, as increased sales in the Transit Group were offset by lower sales in the Freight Group. Compared to the third quarter of 2009, sales were 9% higher, with both groups showing an increase.
In the fourth quarter, Wabtec completed the acquisition of Unifin International, a manufacturer of cooling systems and related equipment for the power generation and transmission industry, for $93 million.
Wabtec affirmed its 2010 earnings per diluted share guidance of $2.35-$2.50, with revenue expected to be flat to slightly up.
Albert J. Neupaver, Wabtec's president and chief executive officer, said: "Faced with very challenging market conditions in 2009, the company performed well, generating strong cash flow from operations and improving margins, after adjusting for one-time items. These results were due to our diversified business model and the hard work of employees at all levels of the company. Market conditions will continue to be challenging in 2010, but we expect to benefit from our 2009 restructuring actions and other growth initiatives. We are optimistic about the company's future growth opportunities around the world, given our strong balance sheet, diversified business model, and continued application of the Wabtec Performance System principles."

Mucho props to PP. i received a shipment from FedEx the other week and i went to open the box and take off the packing material and found that FedEx must have used the box as a football or something because the bottle of what i ordered was cracked and leaking.
long story short they took care of me very quickly and resolved my issue with extreme care and understanding.

Respond to Review of Biocenter Restaurant Vegetaria
by hippublican
Review: We ate at Biocenter twice while in Barcelona. The first time, we found the ordering process to be very confusing. It was during the weekend, when you eat a Menu of the day, which is a soup/salad bar and then a choice of entrees and desserts. We tried to order our entree from the window, were told to give our waitress our order, then we tried to ask the waitress, she told us to order from the window, and so forth. It was all very confusing but we eventually got it sorted out. The soup & salad were great, as was the entree (seitan with wine sauce). Not many vegan desserts to pick from, but I got a baked apple. Eh. The next time we went we were able to order a la carte, which we much preferred. My pumpkin croquettes were amazing! The prices are moderate and the decor is very tasteful.

Sampson is one step closer to having a quarter-cent sales tax option on the November ballot with last week's Senate approval of House Bill 1224, which offers an avenue toward revenue but calls for a sales tax cap and limits how revenues can be spent.
Republican supporters say the measure would give more options to most counties to generate local revenues. But opponents, particularly Democrats from Wake County, say it would harm counties that received previous authority from the General Assembly to generate more revenue than others — particularly to assist with broad public transit projects.
The bill caps the local sales tax that nearly all 100 counties in North Carolina can charge at 2.5 percent — a combined state and local rate of 7.25 percent. Most rural counties, including Sampson, would get broader flexibility to levy sales taxes, but the bill would reduce the authority for local sales taxes in Wake and three other urban counties, now set at 2.75 percent.
"The sales tax issue this board supported has come out of the Senate, and it is now before the House. It will not be finalized until the House acts on it … if all these things happen, it comes out of the House and the county wants to do this, then this will help us," Sampson County Board of Commissioners chairman Jefferson Strickland said. "It's if, if, if and it's a year away, but it's out of the Senate."
Commissioner Billy Lockamy said he felt that with the sales tax bump, along with a tax increase, a pay, classification and benefit study in the works and some budget cuts, "I think we're going to be all right."
A local resolution seeking legislative approval for an additional quarter-cent local option sales tax, approved in a 3-2 vote, stated that empowering the county to levy the option would provide the additional revenues for critical needs, while "equitably spreading the tax burden" among the populous.
However, Paul Meyer, executive director of the North Carolina League of Municipalities, noted the league's "grave concerns" about the legislation's effects on future revenue options for all of local government and said it needed further study.
"Restrictive categories and caps on local option sales taxes would have the effect of overriding local decision-making authority and could damage the ability of local communities to work together to promote economic development in the most effective ways possible," Meyer stated. "The legislation takes into consideration only one-half of the local government equation for economic development. The issues raised by this legislation are significant and will affect residents living inside and outside municipalities for years to come."
According to the Sampson board resolution, the measure would serve to "broaden our revenue sources and reduce our dependence on ad valorem property taxes as the principal source of revenue."
The county's current tax rate stands at 7 cents. The referendum, if voted in, would take that to 7.25 percent.
"Though we have been accused of somehow limiting local government authority with this bill, in reality, it does the complete opposite," Sen. Brent Jackson stated following the Senate's passing of the bill. "HB 1224 simply expands an existing statute to allow for broader use of the funding generated by county sales taxes."
Where funds generated under this statute previously could only be used for transit, the senator noted, this bill would allow them to also be used for education or transportation.
"By granting counties the authority to hold a referendum to levy a quarter-cent sales tax, the state is providing local governments with an additional tool to help meet their fiscal obligations," Jackson said.
More than 90 counties are now at 6.75 percent or 7 percent. Senators overseeing the bill say the measure would give those counties more choices to offer voters if they want to approve new taxes — through either quarter-cent or half-cent increases, with proceeds going to education, public transportation or other purposes.
"This legislation is in line with conservative principles, as it gives local officials greater flexibility, but places final authority in the hands of the people, who must approve their leaders' decision at the polls," Jackson attested.
An additional quarter-cent sales tax would generate just over $900,000 a year for Sampson, equivalent to between 2 and 2.5 cents on the property tax rate. The county would net about $850,000 of that sum, with roughly $60,000 to be split among the municipalities.
Should it be placed on the November ballot, and ultimately approved by the county's voters, the additional quarter-cent sales tax would not take effect until April 2015.

Halo 4 is set to drop on excited Xbox 360 gamers tomorrow, with midnight launches planned for the highly anticipated shooter over night. We've already reviewed the game, calling it an "emotional journey with lessons to be learnt on morality, humanity and war," but what key aspects make the game so amazing, and why do you need to pick it up come November 6?
343 Industries does a fantastic job of introducing (and in some cases, reintroducing) characters, telling a complex story and actually making us care about the characters. It might not have the depth of a Dishonored, but it certainly sets a standard for the genre, demonstrating that a FPS experience doesn't need to be bogged down by war cliches and patriotic rhetoric to keep gamers interested.
Discussion: Talk about Halo 4
There's some truly fascinating commentary on what it takes to become a soldier and the affect it has on personalities and individuals, and Halo 4 gives us an insight to series protagonist Master Chief in a way we've never seen before.
Put simply, Halo 4 tells a wonderful tale, interwoven immaculately between fantastic level design, great combat and exciting large-scale battles.
Halo is already known for just being simple: offering gunplay mechanics anyone can pick up and enjoy, the series has for over a decade blended accessible controls with intense combat and difficulty, making for a balanced and highly engaging experience.
Halo 4 is certainly no exception. There are new weapons and armor abilities, and certainly no shortage of ways you can approach a battlefield filled with enemies. The best thing about Halo 4 is that it makes sci-fi weaponry feel and sound real, and at least in this case there's justification for minimal recoil. Halo 4 is the definitive FPS, a game that doesn't want to be realistic, and yet it comes off making you feel like you're actually engaging with the world.
Review: Check out our Halo 4 review
Master Chief and his AI sidekick, Cortana, share a fascinating relationship that evolves considerably in their fourth game together. Their relationship is dissected and analysed throughout the game, offering us an emotional insight to the ways in which an AI interacts with who is so often considered to be a robot, but is still human at his core.
That's definitely what sets Halo 4 apart from other shooters on the market. It doesn't scream in your face, "Hey! This guy is a heartless-robot!" Rather, it asks you to consider the actions of the characters and make up your own mind, never truly going over the edge to definitively define each individual personality. It's that trust in the narrative and character development that makes Halo 4's story quite remarkable.
While loud and powerful orchestral soundtracks are hardly anything new to blockbuster games, Halo games have always been at the forefront in that regard. Halo 4 is no different. As far as game soundtracks go, this game takes the Grammy. Music is as perfectly matched with environments, enemies and cutscenes as the metal-clanging sounds of Terminator 2: Judgement Day were. This is a soundtrack that speaks for itself, illuminating and reflecting the story through powerful music that helps tell a powerful tale.
The Halo series' multiplayer has always been a standout. Love it or hate it, the term "Halo killer" was penned for a reason, and that's because, in order to be good at Halo's multiplayer you needed to commit more time and skill to it than any other shooter, which made for a large and passionate community. Halo 4 takes that passion to an entirely new level.
Discussion: The Halo 4 Checklist & Briefing
For one, the new loadout system makes the community far more diverse and challenging. Originally you'd be restricted to weapons available in specific modes, but Halo 4 now introduces a more common approach, pushing you to grind through the levels and create your own super soldier SPARTAN, packed with alien weaponry, powerful armor abilities and special skills.
Secondly, the mode itself has a special aura about it that actually makes you feel like you're part of a SPARTAN faction. It's unique and engaging, and works particularly well.
I've put in over 10 hours into Halo 4's multiplayer, and I haven't even come close to unlocking HALF of what's available on both a loadout and material front for my SPARTAN. Halo 4 uses XP across both Infinity (multiplayer) and Spartan Ops (co-op), meaning you can progress in one and carry over your unlocks and loadouts to the other.
In terms of unlockables, Halo 4 appears to do it better than most. That's because of its staunch individualism: you can change the look and stance of your SPARTAN with an insane amount of varied options, and rather than just simply award gamers with a badge for bragging rights, the look and armor of a SPARTAN on a player's gaming card in a match lobby will represent their skill and progression in the game.
Halo 4 gets it just right in that regard. I absolutely suck at Halo 4's multiplayer, but I've developed an infatuation with my SPARTAN's armor and overall appearance. It's a fantastic implementation that gives the multiplayer plenty of personality and spunk.
Spartan Ops, at time of writing, felt rather fleeting: with only one episode available and a handful of chapters, it can be completed on Normal in about an hour, if that. However, it's a cooperative experience that must be played on the highest of difficulties, and it's a mode that at times reflects the alien battlefield of the Halo universe better than any other aspect in the game.
The best thing about this mode is that, just like the campaign, it can be mercilessly hard. Play this game on Legendary and you will know the game's name is Spartan Ops: it will murder you (virtually, of course). Throw in added episodes and a long-term commitment from 343i, and this is a mode that is certainly giving Modern Warfare 3's Spec Ops a run for its money. They're certainly similar in execution, but Spartan Ops is definitely the more challenging, engaging and free-flowing.
Normal is now Heroic. Heroic is now Legendary. Legendary is now so-hard-you'll-break-your-controller-in-frustration. Halo 4 will punish the crap out of you...over and over and over again. There's plenty of weaponry and ammunition about the place, but that won't stop enemies from constantly flanking and attacking you.
AI is super aggressive, no matter what the difficulty setting, and the experience is near-impossible on Legendary. I'm going to go as far as to say that beating Halo 4 on Legendary would certainly have to be one of the greater gaming accomplishments from this generation. Not because one bullet kills you, but because the enemies actually come at you like you're a frickin' Spartan super-soldier: they know what Master Chief is capable of, and they won't stop until he's dead.
Halo 4 is out on Xbox 360 on November 6
What are you looking forward to the most in Halo 4?

gdmatt said: I'm loving the sound of Legendary, it's been too easy after Halo 2.
OllyEbbz said: None of the Halos have been remotely difficult having completing all of them on Legendary. I'm interested in what you say about the rise in difficulty but I have a worry you may be slightly exaggerating.
Demon Souls, Dark Souls... now their difficult.

Winnebago Council
|Winnebago Council
|Boy Scouts of America
|Waterloo, Iowa
|United States
|Council Commissioner
|Daniel King
|Scout Executive
|Todd Wordel
The Winnebago Council is a council of the Boy Scouts of America (#173). The Winnebago Council serves all Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, adult volunteers and Venturers in 17 counties located in North Central Iowa.
The council is administratively divided into districts:
- Cedar Valley
- Lakeland
- Sun Rivers
- Twin Rivers
- Wabuha
|This section requires expansion. (April 2010)
The Winnebago Council owns and operates two camps — Camp Ingawanis in Waverly, Iowa and the Winnebago Scout Reservation near Marble Rock, Iowa.
Camp Ingawanis[edit]
Operating since 1924, Camp Ingawanis has 11 horses, and boasts about being one of the few Boy Scout camps in the nation to have an extensive equestrian program. The camp also has direct access to the Cedar River, following winding trails through the rolling hills. The facilities are open year-around, available for Scout units and other organizations to use.[1]
Winnebago Scout Reservation[edit]
The Winnebago Scout Reservation is a year-round camping facility that is home to the Winnebago Council's Cub Scouts. The camp holds Boy Scout Camporees in the Spring and Fall and many other Cub Scout and Boy Scout activities throughout the year.
The Winnebago Scout Reservation boasts several heated and unheated sleeping cabins that are available year-round, themed campsites with permanent picnic shelters, and many other facilities including: a large dining hall and kitchen, director's lodge building, activity building, heated swimming Pool, shower facilities, BB gun range, archery range, obstacle course, nature building, hiking/biking/skiing trails, mountain bikes, cross country skis and snowshoes.[2]
In 1954 the Winnebago Boy Scout council decided to close down Camp Roosevelt due mainly to its small size. It was determined at that time that a new property should be purchased to replace the camp. In 1956 the council executive board met in Marble Rock, IA and voted to establish a new Scout Reservation in the area. They originally purchased 336 acres (136 ha), with an additional 18 acres (7.3 ha) purchased in 1959. The camp was utilized by Scouts for the first time in late 1956. Construction took off in 1957 with a large effort to plant trees in what had been farm fields. Winnebago Scout Reservation began to take shape and Camp Roosevelt was finally closed in 1958. Summer camp took place at the completed Winnebago Scout Reservation for the first time in the summer of 1959 with over 900 Scouts in attendance.[3]
Sac-N-Fox Lodge[edit]
|Sac-N-Fox Lodge
|Waterloo, Iowa
|Lodge Chief
|Brandon Nelson
|Lodge Adviser
|Bruce Merfield
|Lodge Staff Adviser
|Tim Cook
The Order of the Arrow Scouting's national honor society is represented in the Winnebago Council by the Sac-N-Fox Lodge. The lodge is administratively divided into chapters corresponding to the council's districts. The Sac-N-Fox Lodge is part of Section C-3A, in the Central Region.
The Sac-N-Fox Lodge #108 arose out of the merger of the Wakosha Lodge #108 based in Waterloo, Iowa and the Aiaouez Lodge #473 based in Mason City, Iowa. The name was chosen to pay tribute to the Indian tribes that once inhabited the area.
The merger of the two lodges was discussed at a mutual Father-son Aiaouez and Wakosha Lodge Winter Banquet on December 19, 1971, and the merger took place at the time when the two respective councils merged in 1972.
Lodge Flap[edit]
The Sac-N-Fox Lodge flap was designed by Gary Stattler, The fleur-de-lis symbolizes our ties to the Boy Scouts of America and the W.W.W. shows our ties to the Order of the Arrow. The council fire in the center of the patch is our lodge's totem, and the two Indians in the patch are exchanging the peace pipe, the symbol of our council. The thunderbird and the fox head in the patch depict the totems of the Wakosha and Aiaouez Lodges.[4]

Great Spring Lake Vacation
Memories Made !
The home is beautifully decorated and has everything you'll ever need. The outdoor shower was a huge plus, we'd come home from the beach and everyone would rinse off there and / or shower there. Breakfast on the Front Patio, BBQ dinners on the back patio, Beach bikes to ride to town, the park, beach, and dinner. All with in 1/2 mile from the home. On cloudy or rainy days, if you wanted to leave the house - you can head to Point Pleasant, NJ only 15 mins away. There is an aquarium and boardwalk with restaurants, games, bars, mini golf, ice cream, etc.
We will definately be renting this home again ! Thank you for such a wonderful stay and for allowing us to create our Summer vacation memories in your home.

Fasting and "the very element of Orthodoxy"
Expand Messages
- Learning to Swim "In the Very Element of
One hears that, in foreign lands, people are now learning to swim, lying on
the floor, with the aid of equipment. In the same way, one can become a
Catholic or Protestant without experiencing life at all - by reading books
in one's study. But to become Orthodox, it is necessary to immerse oneself
all at once in the very element of Orthodoxy, to begin living in an Orthodox
way. There is no other way.
- St. Pavel Florensky (+1943)
Illness = Fasting<http://thechildrenofgod.blogspot.com/2008/02/on-being-ill.html>
She also said, 'If illness weighs us down, let us not be sorrowful as
though, because of the illness and the prostration of our bodies we could
not sing, for all these things are for our good, for the purification of our
desires. Truly fasting and sleeping on the ground are set before us because
of our sensuality. If illness then weakens this sensuality, the reason for
these practices is superfluous. For this is the great asceticism; to control
oneself in illness and to sing hymns of thanksgiving to God.'

We have a little unwanted visitor in our house right now. He's been with us for about 10 days now. I call him Brian - think Magic Roundabout!
I've yet to spot the little so and so but he's freaking me out. Each morning when we get up there are slime trails all over the carpet. He started off in the kitchen (had to disinfct worktops every day just in case!) and now he's in the dining room - he's even been in and out of DH's work bag.
Just can't find him.

Van Buren officials have awarded two bids for construction on a public park in Harbor Heights.
After receiving three quotes for electrical access in the park's planned pavilion, the bid was awarded to Jeff Johnson Building and Electrical for $1,925. Other bidders were Caryl electric at $1,925 and JFK Electric at $5,495.
"JFK's was much higher since they quoted on a much more elaborate structure than was needed for the protection of the meter and electrical panel," Supervisor Claude Sykes said.
The town also received two quotes for the purchase of fence material to enclose the park on the river, 690 and housing sides; the park will be open along Waterfront Drive. Arrow Fence was awarded the bid for $11,472, which includes a 12-foot double gate and approximately 1,000 feet in aluminized, chain-link fencing material. Butler Fence also submitted a bid for $11,837.82.
Officials said the park would eventually include a bike rack, grills, picnic tables and other amenities. Park projects are funded through the town's in lieu of parks fund, provided by Eldan Homes.

VANCOUVER -- Police identified a Clarkcounty man shot last week in a home invasion as 49-year-old William Toohey.
The suspect was suspected of holding up a nearby store minutes later, and later shot by police last Friday night.
More:Teen shot by police in Vancouver
Clark County deputies said the initial home invasion happened at 1 a.m. Friday at an apartment at 1101 NE Minnehaha Street in the Hazel Dell area. The intruder went into the apartment in what police called a home invasion and shot the man.
Soon after a SWAT team filled the neighborhood looking for the suspect, a man walked into a nearby 7-Eleven and robbed the store at gunpoint. No one was hurt in that robbery.
The victim's girlfriend said the victim was shot in the back and stomach.
He was taken to a hospital. My boyfriend was on the ground bleeding, crying, helpless, the woman said.

While the rest of the world is trying to stop global warming and protect the planet for future generations, ExxonMobil is busy drilling for more oil and polluting the atmosphere. What's worse, ExxonMobil is doing its best to stop other countries' attempts to prevent the world from heating up. Check out ExxonMobil's dirty secrets at www.exxonsecrets.org. Here are five reasons why ExxonMobil is worse than other oil companies:
1. ExxonMobil tries to convince the public that global warming isn't happening even though ExxonMobil is one of its main causes. It spends millions of dollars on misleading propaganda every year.
2. ExxonMobil has played a leading role in sabotaging international attempts to stop global warming. It would rather sell more gasoline than protect future generations.
3. ExxonMobil doesn't believe renewable energy has a future. "With no readily available economic alternatives on the horizon, fossil fuels will continue to supply most of the world's energy needs for the foreseeable future." --Lee Raymond, ExxonMobil CEO, 1997
4. ExxonMobil is the biggest oil company in the world - its profits totalled more than US$12 billion in 2000. If anyone can afford to help stop global warming it's ExxonMobil.
5. ExxonMobil was one of the main financial contributors to George Bush's election campaign. As soon as George Bush became president, he announced that the U.S. would pull out of international agreements to stop global warming - exactly the position that ExxonMobil was promoting.

Int'l 'mules' hid P3.6-M shabu in rolls of lace
Three suspected members of a notorious international drug syndicate have been arrested in Manila, proof that the group has resumed its activities in the country, a National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) official said Wednesday.
NBI Reaction, Arrest and Interdiction Division head Ross Jonathan Galicia told the Inquirer that John Nana Brown of Ghana and Radity Chusnul Fariz and Fiti Wiji Utami, both of Indonesia, were taken into custody by the bureau after they were found in possession of 1.24 kilos of "shabu" or methamphetamine hydrochloride valued at P3.6 million.
The three were arrested inside a room at the Stonehouse Hotel on Mabini Street, Manila, at 11 p.m. on Tuesday.
Galicia said the three were believed to be members of the West African Drug Syndicate which was reportedly behind the recruitment of several Filipinos as "drug mules."
Some of the Filipinos, however, were executed by authorities in China after they were caught smuggling drugs into that country, he added.
According to Galicia, this prompted the group to lie low in 2011. The group's presence in the Philippines was first detected in 2002, he said.
The NBI official told the Inquirer that the drugs seized from the three men on Tuesday were found in 25 sachets that had been individually packed and concealed in 25 rolls of lace.
"You will not think that there were drugs hidden inside the rolls of lace because these are flat and thin. But if you slit open one side of the lace roll, the [package] inflates to show the shabu hidden inside," he said.
The rolls of lace were in a suitcase found in the three men's hotel room.
Galicia explained that the drug syndicate was known to be "very creative in [thinking of ways to conceal] the illegal drugs and hide it [in such a way] that an untrained person would never notice it."
Meanwhile, the three foreigners denied in an interview that they were members of the international drug syndicate.
The NBI said the Indonesians arrived in the country on Feb. 23 while Brown had been in Manila for more than a month.
Brown, for his part, said that the suitcase was given to him by another Ghanaian who instructed him to bring it to the two Indonesians staying at the hotel.

posted 6 years ago
Bouncy and springy fun for all. Our youngest kitty really goes for this one. The older cats love it because it keeps the youngest one occupied and away from them... LOL. The older ones have been caught enjoying it as well. This cat toy is sturdy enough to withstand many a flying tackle.
Pros: this toy keeps our youngest kitty busy for at least an hour a day
Cons: she can pull some small pieces off if she isn't watched

Centenary student plans maker's faire, denounces bullying
A Centenary College student has organized a maker's faire Saturday in recognition of National Day of Silence. The student-led event denounces bullying in connection with sexual orientation or gender identity. Sara Whittington, a sociology major from Pineville, La., wanted to organize a creative outlet to mark the day. Whittington said 23 vendors will sell their handmade goods.
"I'm one of those people who likes to dream big," Whittington said. "I don't understand why we can't do the big shebang just because tradition is the little shebang? I really wanted to do a maker's faire. People were behind me. It sounded fun. So, there we go."
Whittington is involved in Centenary's student organization called Outreach. She says it works like a support group.
"If you're just having a rough day and you just want to say, You know, this really mean person in my class did this really mean thing and I'm just going to tell you guys about it. This is how I handled it, and here's some advice for people who go through the same things on a regular basis and how to handle it. It was really helpful my freshman year," Whittington said.
The Outreach maker's faire will be held Saturday, April 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Centenary's Jones Rice Field. Whittington called it a preview to the Texas Avenue Makers Fair on April 27 that will draw more than 160 vendors.

What posters to you are like "that's exactly what I think"?
I thought I'd create this thread just to gine a chance to say if there is is/are poster(s) who just seem to you to say what you think. It's definitely not a poll and is not to be a hierarchy of who is identified the most. And definitely not about who is a better Caro fan. And no saying who you disagree with the most either. Just a chance to mention the poster(s) you find yourself thinking the most "that's exactly what I think".
For me - it has to be goldenlox. There must be something I disagree with but I can't actually remember anything goldenlox posted that I disagree with. So many "that's exactly what I think" posts. Used to just post in GM about Caro but glad now a regular poster in Caro's forum as well.
I also have to mention Chrissie Fan. Now (unlike goldenlox) I know we do have just a few things we have different opinions on. But Chrissie Fan is so respectful of all players. And I've read a lot of posts where I think "I just couldn't add to that or say anything that I could possibly improve on it".

Great British Chefs search allows you to search for ingredients, recipes,
chefs and restaurants. Here are some examples:
The darkness is drawing in, fires are being lit, gloves are being darned and we're craving stews over salads.
The cold air might not be making the change of season many friends, but the hedgerow bounty more than makes up for it. The wonderful thing about living in Britain at this time of year is that no matter where you live, from urban city to remote village, a bramble bush is never too far away. Free berries! And plenty for everyone!
Blackberry cobbler and apple and blackberry crumble with custard. Venison steaks with blackberry and port reduction, duck breasts with blackberry sauce or this beautifully fruity, light berry mousse. Blackberries are versatile, delicious and, best of all, they needn't cost you a penny. So, get your empty Tupperware out and get over to your nearest hedgerow. Pick loads more than you can possibly eat, wash them, dry them and open freeze them on a baking tray (this way you'll freeze the berries individually, rather than as one homogeneous mass). Once they're frozen, you can tip them into freezer bags or Tupperware boxes to see you through the winter months. Indulge in as many blackberry dishes as you can, but try this blackberry mousse first, I promise you won't regret it.
450g fresh blackberries, plus a few extra to garnish
4 eggs, separated
100g caster sugar
300ml double cream
4 sheets of leaf gelatine
A pinch of salt
Blitz the blackberries in the food processor and pass through a sieve. Discard the seeds and reserve the purée.
Whisk the egg yolks and sugar until pale and fluffy. Place the cream in a saucepan over a gentle heat. Once the cream scalds, pour it into the egg mixture, whisk and return to the pan. Stir continuously over a low heat until the custard thickens slightly. Decant into a jug and stir in the blackberry purée. Cover with cling film and leave to cool completely.
Soak the gelatine in cold water for 10 minutes. Squeeze out the excess water and whisk in a tablespoon of boiling water to melt it, before whisking it into the blackberry custard.
In a separate and spotlessly clean bowl, whisk the egg whites with the salt until soft peaks form and fold into the custard with a large metal spoon until completely incorporated. Pour into glasses and pop in the fridge to set overnight. Decorate with a few blackberries and serve.
Visit Great British Chefs for more inspiring blackberry recipes.

Guys, I just discovered something about DS 4.5!
With my Visual Style Shaders, you can now ctrl/click them, select "ignore" under map settings, and your textures won't be removed! Of course you still need to reapply textures to non-standard parameters such as the outline and ambient occlusion, but it certainly makes the job a bit easier.
I wonder if there's a way to automate that further…
Couldn't you do that before?
Not with shaders made using Shader Mixer, so no.
