Exactly right. in addition, we live across the road from downlands and woods and I don't want the bluebells that have come up in our garden tainting any English bluebells in the woods. I don't know how long the bluebells have been in the garden, because we have been here less than a year, but they are a little too plentiful already too.

Personal staff of Kimmane Rathnakar save family from a water tank
The personal staff of Minister of State for Primary and Secondary Education Kimmane Rathnakar saved the life of five persons in a car that had slipped into a roadside tank near Beguvalli village in Tirthahalli taluk on Tuesday.
Uday Kumar, who runs an electrical shop in Bhadravathi had been to his in-laws' house in Karkala in his four-wheeler. While returning to Bhadravathi, he failed to negotiate a bend near Beguvalli and the car fell into the water tank. Mr. Kumar and five other members of his family had thrust their hands out of the sinking car for help.
Mr. Rathnakar was travelling to Bangalore from his hometown Tirthahalli on the route. On noticing the car sinking in the water tank, minister ordered his driver to stop. Drivers Chandrashekhar, Krishnamurthy and gunman Halaswamy jumped into the tank and rescued Mr. Kumar, his wife Suma, mother Geetha, his eight-year-old son and his three-year-old nephew.
Mr. Kumar's son Nishan, 15, had come out of the car through window and had swum to the safety of the bank.
Mr. Chandrashekhar told presspersons that by the time he could reach the car, it has settled on the bed of the tank.
"My colleagues and I opened the door of the car, pulled the family out of it and took them to the shore. Owing to the accumulation of silt and growth of water weeds, it was difficult to swim. The local people also cooperated with us in the rescue operation," he said.
Mr. Kumar said it was like a re-birth for him and his family. "When the car fell into the tank, water began to gush into the vehicle through the windows. My efforts to open the door and come out of the vehicle failed. I fell unconscious. I thank the Minister and his staff for saving the lives of my family members," he said.

One of the secrets of life is to make stepping stones out of stumbling blocks.
One of the simple but genuine pleasures in life is getting up in the morning and hurrying to a mousetrap you set the night before.
One of the strangest things about life is that the poor, who need the money the most, are the ones that never have it.
One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.
One only needs two tools in life WD-40 to make things go, and duct tape to make them stop.
One only needs two tools in life: WD-40 to make things go, and duct tape to make them stop.
One path alone leads to a life of peace The path of virtue.
One path alone leads to a life of peace: The path of virtue.
One should absorb the colour of life, but one should never remember its details. Details are always vulgar.
One should count each day a separate life.
One should guard against preaching to young people success in the customary form as the main aim in life. The most important motive for work in school and in life is pleasure in work, pleasure in its result, and the knowledge of the value of the result to the community.
One should not confuse the craving for life with endorsement of it.
One should take good care not to grow too wise for so great a pleasure of life as laughter.
One that hath wine as a chain about his wits, such a one lives no life at all.
One thing is clear to me. You cant know everything youd like to know. You cant do everything youd like to do. You cant read everything youd like to read. You must hold onto some things and let go of others. Learning to make that choice is one of the big lessons of this life.
One thing life has taught me if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.
One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.
One whose chief regard is for his own mind, and for the divinity within him and the service of its goodness, will strike no poses, utter no complaints, and crave neither for solitude nor yet for a crowd. Best of all, his life will be free from continual pursuing and avoiding.
One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life That word is love.
One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.
One word
One writes of scars healed, a loose parallel to the pathology of the skin, but there is no such thing in the life of an individual. There are open wounds, shrunk sometimes to the size of a pin-prick but wounds still. The marks of suffering are more comparable to the loss of a finger, or the sight of an eye. We may not miss them, either, for one minute in a year, but if we should there is nothing to be done about it.
One's family is the most important thing in life. I look at it this way One of these days I'll be over in a hospital somewhere with four walls around me. And the only people who'll be with me will be my family.
One's life story cannot be told with complete veracity. A true autobiography would have to be written in states of mind, emotions, heartbeats, smiles and tears not in months and years, or physical events. Life is marked off on the soul by feelings, not by dates.
One's prime is elusive. You little girls, when you grow up, must be on the alert to recognize your prime at whatever time of your life it may occur. You must live it to the full.

Luke James - Strawberry Vapors
Artist: Luke James
Producer: Danja
Album: Whispers In The Dark
Avg Rating: 3.6 ( 10 votes )
Last year, Luke James surprised listeners in the Booth with Love Chile, a sensual cut which turned out to have absolutely nothing to do with red peppers. Encouraged by that record's positive reception, the NARS/Def Jam singer/songwriter returned with another fresh song release that sounds like it could be about food, but isn't. Despite sounding like a dessert you'd order at an avant-garde bistro, Strawberry Vapors is less concerned with molecular gastronomy than with the intoxicating effects of a certain woman on the artist's psyche. Danja produces, backing the artist's dreamy, falsetto-laced verses with a sultry, atmospheric synth arrangement. Released December 12, 2012, Whispers in the Dark is available now for free digital download. Fans should also keep it locked for the latest on the artist's currently-unscheduled studio debut, Made to Love.

The months seem to zip by faster and faster with each passing year. I suppose that's inevitable as we get bogged down with life — work deadlines, social commitments, running kids around town.
I remember one holiday season I was looking for fun presents to give to my family. I wanted the search to be easy, unlike my search for that perfect "season's greetings" card that had to please everyone on my list.
Every year, the holiday season comes at just the right time for Alaskans. Sunlight is sparse, temperatures are dropping and the chore of scraping ice off our windshield and windows seems never-ending. But it's also the time of year we spend with family, friends and loved ones. Attending parties. Enjoying the last couple long weekends before a new year starts.
It's the issue that never ends. It just goes on and on again. And the longer it continues, the more it impacts the McDonald Center. The controversy concerning what slice of the capital budget will fund the much-debated indoor tennis court facility failed to reach a consensus at the Dec. 2 Anchorage Assembly meeting.
The recent power play being used by Anchorage Mayor Dan Sullivan is leaving Eagle River's hockey community shorthanded. It's no secret the aging Municipal ice rinks — the McDonald Center included — are in need of upgrades. All four are between 30 and 40 years old. For a rink, that's well past the average lifespan of 20 to 25 years, according to Mac manager Reid McDonald.
Gov. Sean Parnell's decision not to expand Medicaid and not accept millions of federal dollars to pay for it is shortsighted. His decision in 2010 to join with other Republican governors to overturn the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA) was a money-wasting effort when the Supreme Court refused to find the ACA unconstitutional. In early 2011, Parnell refused to set up a statewide marketplace that would provide thousands of Alaskans easy access to affordable health insurance. Fortunately, the federal government will help Alaskans get that coverage anyway and for Alaskan women, this is critically important.
This week, you'll see a new byline in the pages of the Chugiak-Eagle River Star. Cinthia Ritchie recently joined our team, and we couldn't be more thrilled to have her.
A few weeks ago, I was leaving Eagle River High after covering a Veterans Day event. We had just gotten the first major snowfall of the season, and I stopped along Yosemite Drive to snap some photographs of the wintry scene.
On Nov. 20, U.S. Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Mark Begich and Rep. Don Young honored the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska and 32 other tribes from across the country with the highest honor bestowed by Congress — the Congressional Gold Medal — for their critical service and unrecognized role as code talkers during both World Wars.
On Friday, Nov. 15, Gov. Sean Parnell announced he will not seek to expand Medicaid in his fiscal year 2015 budget proposal. In a press release, Parnell cited the failure of the Affordable Care Act, "the enormous current and future Medicaid costs to Alaska and greater uncertainty about the federal government's ability to pay its share" as reasons for his decision.

White House cyber framework focuses on flexibility, risk for critical infrastructure providers
Wednesday - 2/12/2014, 4:15pm EST
Now that the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Homeland Security Department released the cybersecurity framework for critical infrastructure providers Wednesday, agencies have until May to figure out how it fits into their regulations.
Executive branch agencies will review existing regulatory guidance and rules in their oversight areas, and in May propose changes that are prioritized and based on risk to mitigate threats and vulnerabilities, said Michael Daniel, the White House's cybersecurity coordinator during an event in Washington.
"The goal from the administration's standpoint is not to expand regulation. Our goal in this area is to streamline existing regulations, and wherever possible bring those regulations into alignment with the framework," Daniel said. "We are encouraging those agencies to focus on voluntary efforts and programs to support the adoption of the framework. For those sectors where regulations already exist, we're encouraging those agencies to engage in processes to support efforts to harmonize and align current regulations with the framework. Obviously, while we can't direct the independents to do anything, we've invited them to follow the same process."
|"Although the threats are serious and they constantly evolve, I believe that
if we address them effectively, we can ensure that the Internet remains an engine
for economic growth and a platform for the free exchange of ideas."
- President Barack Obama
|"Thanks to these efforts, companies now have a common, but flexible path
forward to better secure their systems and also a meaningful way to measure their
-Sen. Tom Carper (D-Del.)

leverages public-private partnerships."

-Renee James, president of Intel
|Read more reactions to the cyber framework.
A senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said agencies likely will engage with stakeholders as part of how they do normal oversight.
"It varies a lot depending on particular sector and agency involved. That work is going on right now across the different regulatory agencies," the official said.
The regulatory agencies also have been part of the process to develop the framework over the last year.
The much-watched and anticipated Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity focuses on risk management and flexibility to assist the nation's critical infrastructure providers and other businesses improve their cybersecurity.
The framework consists of three parts:
- Core - A set of cybersecurity activities, outcomes and informative
references that are common across critical infrastructure sectors, providing the
detailed guidance for developing individual organizational Profiles.
- Profile - Helps organizations align their cybersecurity activities with
their business requirements, risk tolerances and resources.
- Implementation Tiers - Provides a way for organizations to view and understand the characteristics of their approach to managing cybersecurity risk.
"At its core, the framework serves as bridge between business leaders and information security professionals. Together you can use this framework to gauge the appropriateness of your organization's cybersecurity investments," said Penny Pritzker, the Commerce Department secretary. "As such, if a business leader wants to do more to address cybersecurity, but doesn't know where to begin, the framework can be of great help. The overall goal of the framework is to help organizations align their policies, their technologies and their day-to-day business operations to better protect data and information technology systems. The framework is crafted in a way it can help any organization regardless of size, sophistication or level of cyber risk."
NIST has led the effort to bring together industry, academia and others to offer insights and comments on how best to create the best practices guide.
Vendors and associations alike praised NIST's efforts to bring the community together.
"The chamber has valued NIST's involvement with the cybersecurity framework as they have treated the business community as a genuine partner in identifying existing cybersecurity standards and practices that are effective in improving security and resilience," said Ann Beauchesne, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's vice president of national security and emergency preparedness in an email statement. "Much still remains to be seen in terms of how the cyber framework is implemented and revised, especially the roles that regulatory agencies and departments will play."
Along with the framework, DHS launched the Critical Infrastructure Cyber Community (C3) Voluntary Program as a public-private partnership to increase awareness and use of document.

Just out of curiosity, Cydonix,- have you seen El Greco's work? If not, then google him. I think his elongated shapes will appeal to you.
If you have seen him, then I'd guess from your work that you like him....
May 10th, 2007 #9
Indeed I've seen his work before, I can see the way I draw bodies is similar to his style. To be honest I've never realy been inspired particuly by Greco, but yeah theres something appealing there. Dali has been more of a stronger inspiration to my forms, even though he does more surreal stuff.
Thanks for your effort!

How do you get such clean scans? Like, the hand. You do adjustments in PS or something? Mine come out looking like crap, whether or not I make adjustments.

My doc put me on antibiotics, and I foolishly took them, even though I didn't know for sure if it was a bacterial thing. Then, I got a raging strep throat, and took another course of antibiotics.
Now, less than 4 weeks later, I am diagnosed with another strep throat. I am looking for any and all advice to regain my health and to put this evil spiral behind me.
Here is what I have done: Taken lots of probiotics between antibiotic courses. Given up processed sugar and alcohol. Eating a mainly whole foods plant based diet. Sleep Sleep Sleep. I just got the book : You can Heal your Life, by Louise Hay out of the library today.
I go to pick up my next antibiotic in about an hour, but am leary of taking it....and of not taking it and living in strep land...Thanks for any input!!

Here is what I have done: Taken lots of probiotics between antibiotic courses.
So, IMO you should take probiotics for a long, long time.
|I go to pick up my next antibiotic in about an hour, but am leary of taking it....
I don't know what to tell you. You have to do what you think is right. I would never take the stuff unless my life depended upon it. So far it hasn't. Just like I would never get injected with the flu shot or anything else.
Blood is supposed to be kept sterile. If the body is not sacred, nothing is.
Good luck to you!
I posted the link so you can see where to buy the SA in case you decide to go that route.
When I get sick I immediately take CLO, SA in a large dose, several echinacea and golden seal, 1 or 2 Tablespoon Sambucol and drink Astragalus tea all day long.
By the second day if I still feel sick I do it again. I have never had to do this for a third day.
DH and I have not had a cold, flu, anything in over 15 yrs and we are over 60 yo.
I do the same for my grandchildren. When they are sick I take care of them. Generally it takes one day to get back to optimum health.
Found a couple of articles that might be informative (top does not recommend antibiotic usage with strep, second referrances rate of recurrence with antibiotic usage).
I got into a string of recurrent ear infections with my son I believe because I used antibiotics with his first. He can now successfully fight off bacterial infections on his own and we are antibiotic free for 1.5 years (he is 3). However, my sons recently had the same bacterial infection (Hib type B) and it still took my previously antibiotic treatment son two weeks to fight off what it took his no antibiotic brother less than two days to beat. My point is that it will likely take longer for your body to fight this on it's own because of the prior antibiotic usage. However, your body can do it. Give it the supports it needs.

Acidophilus by itself will often cure strep throat. You must find a good brand that for sure has live acidophilus culture in it and gargle regularly leaving it in your throat for as long as possible. If it doesn't feel better within a day or two antibiotics are most likely required. You can add msm powder and salt as a gargle alternatively with the acidophilus, but the acidophilus is the key!
My Strep Throat Story:
My daughter (age 3 at the time) had a very high fever on a cold Sunday afternoon. I brought her to the dr on Monday, but we had to see the covering doctor since ours was away. She tested positive for strep. She had never had antibiotics and I didn't want a covering dr give her it for the first time, so I went home and got a 1oz spray bottle. I filled it with Young Living's Thieves mouthwash (which contains antibacterial essential oils and colloidal silver) and added a couple more drops of Thieves essential oil to pump up the power! I sprayed that in her mouth all day - probably once every half hour. We went back to our dr the next day (Tuesday) since he was back in the office and I wanted to get his opinion. He tested her for strep and to our amazement she was *negative*!
If you want to learn more about Young Living Therapeutic Grade essential oils or their Thieves product line, please see this website: YLgrassroots.com

What? NO skills? But...but I thought in a preview a while ago they talked about the "new" skill system?!? Bah, why would they remove a feature AFTER they've implimented it? And for that matter, why did they talk about *changing* the skill system when they simply removed it? Arg, that sucks. I really hope someone makes a mod for the game that puts skills back in (and just give you a set amount of skill points at the end of each mission or something).

I just finished playing DeusEx2 Demo and I loved it.
The Good:
o It has the atmosphere of the original game.
o I like the few input controls, not many buttons/keys.
o I like big text and not too much dialog. Enough to tell the story, but not too much to read and get info overload.
o The environment is quite interactive as far as objects go and the physics are more featured than before.
o The lock displays are good, eg. how strong and what to use.
o The game is streamlined and simplified but doesn't really detract from the game that I've noticed. I think that the considerations made for video game consoles have helped, not hindered, as they have done for KOTOR also.
The Bad:
o There might be few controls, but I miss the short cuts (which I'm sure are there somewhere) like dismissing the current weapon and Quick Save.
o The physics might be more featured, but I still picked up a brick and accidently threw it through a wall where it landed on the other side. Probably shouldn't have been scabbing in the bin (snooping through the dumpster for the Americans) anyway. If you try to block someones path with an object, they just push it along, but may comment about it.
o The weapon in hand looks pretty wimpy. Maybe the big guns will look better.
The What?:
o People are a bit bullet proof. I experimented by shooting a girl in the head repeatedly and she didn't take much notice.
o How long did I have to use the electric prod before my victim went unconsious? Trying to take the non-lethal, brain over brawn approach requires much patience.
The Ugly:
o When sneaking around the pad to hear the conversation (which is always available) the game repeatedly crashed to desktop (with no error, just instant exit).
o The game runs very slow at any resolution above 640x480. Detail options have little effect for me, the screen res and disabling vsync seemed to be the only things that mattered.
o The bloom (glow) effect makes the screen look blury as it obviosly involves a render to texture and looks blury enough to give me a mild head ache. I think I'd rather turn it off, and turn on anti aliasing, which didn't appear to slow the game down.
o The textures all look low res and diminish the bump effect, but I'm sure this was done to keep the download small and the full game will use full size textures.
o Character animations sometimes look jerky as if there is a 'battle within' until the final motion breaks forth.
o The keyboard (and some other) settings get lost no matter what I tried, including editing the default config file.
The unknown:
o I havn't yet tried my super hero powers (or what ever they're called). Will have to try the game again and experiment.
o I didn't do much violence, so I will have to try solving problems with the gun, and also use up the lock picks and items I've collected.
Overall I'm looking forward to buying this game soon.
Edit: I havn't read through many of the previous posts, but I'm sure some people will be compaining about how poor the game performs on their system thats always run games well before. Well, here's my comment for them: This is what to expect of the next generation of games. Over the last couple of years, we've become used to running games at very high resolutions and enabling things like FSAA because the games run fast. Now, with per pixel lighting effects, the cost per pixel has risen dramaticly. With stencil shadows, the fill rate has gone up perhaps 3x (or higher with even more realistic lighting). Don't expect to run new games the same way as old ones anymore.

yea the poor performance is understandable if the graphics look half decent.. but they suck. imo. low res textures, god awful characters... etc. i'll be the first to admit, i love it when games start to tax my system... but they need to have a reason to do so, this game has none.
i mean come on, the doom3 alpha ran better than this... and looked 200 million times more advanced.
its a console port, and a poor one at that.... its not a next generation game, its a console port. forced over to the pc, wonder why you get poor fps at anything over 640x480?? console port. it was designed to run at that res on television screens, its just not made for the pc, it suffers the same exact problems as halo.

i can't believe they called this deus ex 2. this game has nothing to do with the first deus ex. everything that made that a great game they took out and everything that makes games annoying and crappy they put in.

Word has it that low-res textures were used in order to keep the demo as "light" (yeah right ) as possible. They actually look worse at some places in comparison to Deus Ex 1, so that probably is the case. No need to worry about that. Regarding headshots (a problem in that demo), a developer said they will be possible to happen in the final game depending on the weapon (it's still not normal but...). It seems they messed up the values in the demo and will be fixing it. Edge, i partly agree with you on what you said about ISA simplifying the game though those huge fonts in the demo are perfect for a purely 640x480 resolution. And we all know what TV's res is and what you can plug in it don't we?
I think we've been playing with words here but what the devs did was simplify the game (having in mind its console version) and presented that to the PC community as a positive thing. Same happened in the PS2 version and it wasn't better really. The most hilarious thing though is when some dudes say "maybe the demo is not a representation of the final product". Thats true, but i thought a demo is the abreviation of demonstration. Why the hell have it out if it doesn't show what the game will be. Oh well, i hope ISA doesn't **** up Thief III otherwise, i'm moving to Austin TX *******it

Well from the Demo i have to agree it seems Half good of what the DX 1 was
But before making noise about how much it "sucks" etc first lets see the OFFICIAL RELEASE at December 5
There is no meaning of saying these game "BAD" from just playing a Demo...as i read from some above posts...
I can not agree with the ppl that say THAT GAME SUCKS from just playing a demo of it...I have fears after playing the demo that these game will be worse than Unreal2 but i will make my final judgement from the Final release and not from a demo...

Well, font sizes are obviously very console oriented, but if they honestly don't make different font sizes for different resolutions then that's just lazy development (I remember how some older games had UIs so small in high-res that they were totally unusable). I've seen lots of console-to-PC ports (not even games developed at the same time for both consoles) that have perfect font sizing and GUIs, Soul Reaver 2 and GTA3 come to mind. I honestly don't think the game's console "origin" (keeping in mind that the game was developed for both platforms simultaniously) has anything to do with gameplay comprimises. There weren't any changes to Morrowind's gameplay when it was under development for both platforms, and there's been literally hundreds of console games that use a more advanced system for stuff then Deus Ex: IW. If they honestly dumbed-down the game in order to fit it onto a console, then they had no desire to add any of those features to the game in the first place. I do think the "they broke it because it was made for console first" arguement has been used a bit to often lately. Bad development is bad development, and it doesn't matter if it's a port or not, because I've seen plenty of console ports turn out better then games developed exclusivly for the PC. They talked about making the game more simplistic before the Xbox was even released, and there was no talk of a PS2 version, so I'm pretty sure they simply did it because they thought it's what people wanted (HA!). I mean, some of the early things, like getting rid of the swimming skill and merging it with aqualung, and getting rid of the environmental training skill, sounded fine. But for some reason, they simply decided to get rid of the skill system all-togeather, and made the gameplay more focused on augmentations.
I mean, look at the HUD in DX:IW (note that I've only seen pictures and movies of how it works so far). I honestly don't think that hud works good on PC OR Console. Rather then making a different hud for each platform, or better yet, a hud that works for BOTH platforms better (it certainly doesn't look easilly navigatable on a pad). I've seen some true interfaces from hell (if I ever see the HUD system from Conquest Earth again I think I'll kill myself), and I've seen some that work suprisingly well for all platforms. But why in the hell is the inventory system so much worse now? I mean really, isn't the "every item takes up the same amount of space" system what everyone complained about in Resident Evil? At the VERY least, they could've just made each item take up a set amount of slots and get rid of the need to organise it (not like that would make it any more difficult on a console controller), but for some reason they simply decided to simplify it even beyond THAT. I think they just had a "simplification elf" decide on their gameplay mechanics.
However, one thing is clear: the demo (and possibly the full game) is very sloppilly done. Apperently when they were "reducing the texture sizes" for the demo, they forgot to edit the conversation text file. There's a text document in the demo directory that contains ALL the dialog between every character in the game, right up to the end! You can follow the story like a book, because they were apperently to lazy to edit or remove the file for the demo version. It's Fallout Tactics all over again, except to a wider scale.
**** Holster
This game really has been dumbed down for consoles, there is no way in hell a system like in the original would work on a console. And that ammo inventory and aug system is what made it so damn good to use.

I loved the fact that everyone was licking Kieron for his interview with WS (who in turn was licking Warren) and everyone said "nice one mate" or "great questions man" and only one or two in the forum wondered why didn't anybody ask on what machine was he testing the game (for a couple of hours as he said), what its performance was like etc. Now everyone is like "the demo is choppy, i need to upgrade, why didn't anyone tell me about it?" Ah well, i will still import it just to see what they did to it but sth tells me we should be getting a huge patch soon after the release. Now i'm really worried about TIII

Personally I like it. Frame-rate hasn't been a problem for me. I've just tried it out with fraps, and that showed that I was getting mid teens to high 20's most of the time, though it did go significantly higher at times. That's on an XP2000 with 512mb 2100, and a Ti4600. I only had 2x AA, but I'll give AF I go as well later. Bloom was off. I found it perfectly playable. Given that it was such a dark level, I think it's early to be drawing a lot of conclusions about the graphics. Also, screenshots have been available for ages. Why are the graphics suddenly a problem now?
I kind of liked the interface, especially the belt. I found the older one too fiddly for a game of this nature. Small inventories are a bit more realistic too. In Deus Ex 1 I could walk around with a pistol, stealth pistol, assault shotgun, assault rifle, crossbow, sniper rifle, medkits, multitools, lockpicks, and a few other bits and pieces.
Jaime: Where's JC?
Paul: He'll be here tomorrow.
Jaime: Why so long? I thought he was staying at your place?
Paul: He is, but with all the weapons he's hauling around he has to crawl everywhere.
I do miss the skills system, but I'm sure I'll enjoy the game regardless. It's on the yule/christmas list, so maybe I'll be lucky.
Oh, and for those who thought hacking was too easy, the demo gives you the level 3 hacking biomod, so it would be. What it would be like without or at level 1 say, we don't know yet.

Hey Mike your right about the C&C 36!
Yes, Mike the C&C 36 was not nearly the boat the 35 was.
I should know I owned both and regretted the day I bought the 36'. It was a poor design,tender and not as fast as the 35. A slug in light air, which was unusual since most C&C's excelled in light winds. The only worse design was the C&C 30 Mega. Now that was a horrible design. I know someone here posted some good comments about this boat. Trust me I owned/sailed many C&C's for 30 years. The Mega was C&C's version of the Ford Pinto! The 30 Mk1 or 2 was a great boat for that era. But the Mega is best suited to be a future anchor.
Fair winds, Allan

Performance, styling, handling and features are superior for the price. The warranty exceeds all other makes I researched. The 2.0 L turbo has quick acceleration and is fun to drive. You use regular fuel. Mileage I have achieved, matches the specifications listed. Styling matches or exceeds other makes that are twice the price. The limited comes equipped with bluetooth, blue link, voice recognition and dual sunroofs all which are nice additions. Up to this point I have no negative comments

I have a CreateUserWizard on .aspx page - fairly straight forward.
When I enter values that I know show cause an error message to appear - they do not show. For example, enter a username that you know exists already - CreateUserWizard has built-in code to check for that; the user is obviously not created, but no error message is showing.
This confuses my users when nothing happens and no error message.
Any ideas most appreciated!

It allows changing the font style, for example bold or italic, and creating simple formatting, for example bullet lists, quotations and code blocks with optional syntax highlighting. A toolbar above the text fields can assist in entering the correct markup.

WebIssues has better localization support and extended types of attributes, e.g. multi-select drop down attributes. It's possible to move and delete issues and to edit and delete existing comments and attachments. Also a completely rewritten WebIssues Manual is available.
New in version 1.0 Beta 4 (December 6th, 2011)

So cute!
Reminds me of a husband & wife team who wrote romance novels, and their author pic was him looking kinda shyly into the camera, her kissing him on the cheek. Apparently he very camera shy and when they had a shoot to get author photos, he was very wooden, so the photog got them to play around more. It must've worked, since I remember the pic 20 years later!

Railroad Company Involved in Deadly Explosion Seeking Bankruptcy Protection
by Joel R. Glucksman on August 20, 2013
Railroad company Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Ltd., which has recently been in the
media spotlight for causing a deadly explosion in Quebec, is seeking bankruptcy
protection under Chapter 11 in both the United States and Canada.
Earlier in July, a parked train carrying 72 tankers full of crude oil began rolling
downtown in the small Quebec town of Lac-Megantic and eventually derailed, causing a
fire and explosion that killed 47 people. Since the deadly explosion, the company has
experienced significant service delays and disruptions that has indebted it to more than
200 creditors, the company said in its bankruptcy filing.
In addition, the railroad company, which is based in Maine, said that costly lawsuits and
clean-up costs associated with the fatal explosion have only exacerbated its financial
difficulties. The company also noted that in the one month following the disaster, its
monthly revenue for its Canadian and U.S. units fell to $1 million.

More ZEN With Ultimate Game Cards (Promo Has Ended)
View Single Post
Career Officer
Join Date: Jul 2012

# 46
well UltimatePay told me that I'll have to get another stupid card if I want to have the 20 dollar bonus....
Cryptic really screwed the pooch with this stupid promotion. Conveniently leaving out the details that gamers in canada have to pay more money than the card is worth in order to get the amount they want. Kind of like buying a telephone card where you don't actually have the talk time that the WHOLE card is worth.
So in conclusion, this Ultimate Game Card promotion is idiotic. Even for those people that live in the US. Only -- get this - Americans who buy the 20 dollar card, for example, will only be able to redeem 19.50 or so. So really they are getting screwed as well - they don't have enough to redeem 20 dollars worth to get the 20 dollar bonus. I knew I should have stuck with PWE cards yesterday. At least with those you use the whole amount.
You guys should do the same. Even if you don't get a bonus with them. Or else stick with things like paypal.
P.S. Eeven though my paypal account is setup to pay for things using an eCheque, it seems I've made enough transaction to confirm my account. So now my [eCheque] payments are instantaneous.

The new entrant on the political scene, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has achieved several firsts. In the present culture of corporate funding of the political class, the party is completely financed by, and in turn dependent on, people's contribution.
From the day it was formed in November last year the party has managed to mobilise over Rs.10.49 crore. As much as 67 per cent of the fund has been collected online, a pattern which is indicative of its support base in the middle class.
The financial achievement was phenomenal for AAP which started from scratch. The party, which was formed on the plank of swaraj, self-rule, and pardarshita transparency, had meagre resources when it decided to make an electoral debut in the Delhi assembly elections.
The aggressive hunt for funds started with mass emails to over five thousand people every day, convincing people to be a stakeholder in the "politics of change".
In these messages, the party was quite upfront in telling people, says AAP member Dilip Pandey, that if the politics of the country had to be changed, Arvind Kejriwal alone could not do that. "We tried to convince people that 'change' will happen only through 'shared responsibility' and those who want to see the change, will have to be a stakeholder in this process," he adds.
Once released in the virtual world, these messages were shared, tweeted, forwarded, and promoted on social media by the ever increasing network of party supporters. AAP has around 3.6 lakh subscribers on Facebook and over 1.5 lakh followers on Twitter. Kejriwal has 6.35 lakh and 6.2 lakh followers on Twitter and Facebook respectively.
Thanks to the online support, the contribution started pouring in and the party now financially sustains itself on what Pandey terms as "crowd funding". The party flaunts, among its contributors, a Hong Kong-based Non-Resident Indian Amit Aggarwal who donated Rs. 50 lakh and Nidhi, a Delhi student who donated all her savings.
In the political culture where the funding sources of the mainstream parties are largely unknown what gives an edge and a moral upper hand to the party is the fact that anybody can see the details of its contributors on its website. The moment one makes a contribution the details become online.
Keywords: Aam Aadmi Party, crowd funding, Lok Sabha Elections, 2014 elections, social media election strategy

Sad News
To the Brandeis Community:
It is with deep sadness that I write to inform you of the death of Akshay Venkatesh '14. Akshay was found this morning on campus and appears to have taken his own life. I know you join me in extending our sympathies to Akshay's family and friends.
We face this loss as a community — no one needs to face it alone. Indeed, because Brandeis is a nurturing and closely knit campus, no one should ever feel alone when handling the inevitable stresses and pressures of life. I encourage students to speak with your CAs, CDCs, OLs, the staff at the Chaplaincy, family and friends, and any other member of the Brandeis family to whom you want to reach out at this time.
There will be an informal community gathering for mutual support at 9 p.m. this evening at Chapels Pond. Father Walter Cuenin and I will lead the community in a brief prayer and a moment of silence. After the gathering, the Luria conference rooms in Sherman/Hassenfeld have been reserved if students wish to gather, along with professional staff, in a safe space to support one another.
Counseling support will be available throughout the day and until at least 10 p.m. this evening at the Psychological Counseling Center. You can contact the Counseling Center at 781-736-3730, or after hours at the 24-hour referral line at 617-431-4814.
In the days and weeks to come, we will all feel this terrible loss in different ways. Reach out to your friends and support each other — it is at times like this when we truly feel the strength of the Brandeis community.
Yours truly,
Fred Lawrence

New Mission Theater Plans Moving Forward, Targeting 2013 OpeningSeptember 6, 2012
The proposed conversion of the New Mission Theater into a five-screen venue with food and "adult beverage service" which we first reported seven months ago continues to move forward. As we wrote about Alamo Drafthouse Cinema's plans for the building in February:
Inside, the theater would be converted from one to five screens, "utilizing and dividing the existing balcony levels (one auditorium on the ground floor, three new auditoriums on the lower balcony, and one new auditorium on the upper balcony)" while the projection room on the first floor would become a bar (click image to enlarge).
On the outside, the plan "would maintain and restore the character-defining elements on the exterior, including the Art Deco façade; free-standing pylon sign with neon tubes spelling out "New Mission;" cantilevered marquee; and streamlined parapet."
With terms for Alamo Drafthouse Cinema to purchase and renovate the property pending City approvals in place, and now targeting an end of 2013 re-opening, the plans for the New Mission Theater and the housing project next door are currently scheduled for another hearing with San Francisco's Historic Preservation Commission in December.

Gotta love the little tables in front of each seat to set your pint down. That sure beats cup holders in the armrests and creates more legroom too. Go Alamo!
That whole block should be torn down, period!
Having Alamo Drafthouse renovate the building, keeping the deco look is a very positive outcome.
I'm even anxious to try out an "adult beverage" with a film too.
For those who are not familiar with the Texas chain, take a look at their YouTube upload "Don't talk during the movie" upload. Pretty cheeky! (NSFW warning)
"That whole block should be torn down, period!"
In fact, this is sort of already happening. I'm surprised SS didn't mention the old theater directly across the street from this which has been stripped down to it's girders and being completely rebuilt. All sorts of store fronts on the surrounding blocks of Mission are right now being gutted and redone. Massive changes happening.
I just wish they didn't have to wait until December for their next hearing. sure would be nice if they could just get started now!
How does tearing down a whole block help?
Two things this city needs to do to encourage positive changes in the outcome of these developments:
1. Revoke some of the decision making powers of the neighborhood associations; which are being used as a wedge to slow down and inevitably stall projects.
2. The city needs to loosen zoning restrictions to further encourage innovative design / space use.
In an age of increased virtual entertainment and a sense of SF becoming an increasingly corporate, high tech and transitional city — another entertainment venue is a good thing. Other new important venues opening next year — SF Jazz Center and the renovation of the stunning Nourse auditorium in Hayes Valley — ground and strengthen our city.
Good news, I am horrified at how sections of Mission Street look right now.
Yea, sections of Mission St. are pretty bad, in terms of vacant buildings and crappy old facades.
Some should be torn down due to their age and lack of any structural stability or architectural significance.
Others, like the theaters, are examples of great adaptive re-use. More activity on the street; more people, more business for the neighborhood.
… Looks like the opening has been pushed out (obviously) until fall 2014.

Terming semi-nude protest by some women during anti-Posco agitation as 'unfortunate', the Odisha government on Friday expressed concern over support from certain political parties and NGOs to such activities.
Health and Family Welfare Minister Damodar Rout told the Assembly that it was unfortunate that some women stripped while protesting against work in the Posco site on Thursday.
He regretted that some political parties and NGOs were supporting such agitation without understanding the ground reality.
Mr. Rout, who also holds small and medium enterprises portfolio, hails from Posco's proposed plant site in Jagatsinghpur district and has been an MLA for about 20 years.
He told PTI outside the Assembly, "Innocent women were instigated by certain vested interest groups to strip during the protest yesterday."
Mr. Rout held five political parties CPI, CPI-M, Forward Bloc, RJD and Samajwadi Party responsible for the anti-Posco agitation since 2005.
"The government is acquiring its own land in illegal possession of certain villagers and not an inch of private land is being acquired," he pointed out.
When contacted, Jagatsinghpur Collector S.K. Mallick said that some mischief-mongers were behind the incident, but the women were chased away before they could stage nude protest.
Police sources in Jagatsinghpur district said a handful of elderly women while being chased away from the prohibited area tried to disrobe in public.
While POSCO heat was felt inside the Assembly, a report from Paradip said there was no activity at the plant site. Neither was there land acquisition, nor protestors staged any demonstration, official sources said.

With his impulse to sensationalize, Japanese filmmaker Sion Sono broadcasts the internal minutiae of his characters as something bolder, transforming Cold Fish from an exploration of jealousy, desire, pride, ego, and personal disappointment into a perversely comic Grand Guignol. The owner of a struggling fish store is unexpectedly taken under the wing of a much more successful proprietor and soon learns that shopkeeper's shady techniques in business, life, love, and murder. Sono takes the procedural patience of Zodiac and turns it inside out; instead of tracing the steps of how to find a killer, he rather exactingly and methodically assays how to become one. The film's gory high-body-count climax is by turns terrifying and sickening, queasily funny, and, finally, impishly insolent. As the maniacal killer, the actor Denden brings a loopy charisma and offbeat intensity, scary and goofy at the same time. His unlikely student Mitsuru Fukikoshi remains shy and ambivalent, a helpless bystander in his own life even as his hands become increasingly bloody. In comparison with the maximalist four-hours-plus of Sono's 2008 Love Exposure, the running time of Cold Fish feels downright breezy at a mere two and a half hours. The film moves at a brisk pace with an absurdly extended climax of unhinged rage and debauched butchery that goes on for nearly an hour. Sono's sense of time and pacing is purely his own, drawn perhaps from his background with the idiosyncratic ebb and flow of poetry. Cold Fish is wild, head-turning, stomach-churning stuff, and it makes a bracing addition to the overstuffed canon of serial-killer cinema.

text: MANKATO September 7, 2012 (KMKO) – Mankato city staff are recommending approval of a planned public hearing on amended drive-through ordinance to allow Panda Express to build a new resturantt. Panda Express has plans to build on the north east corner of Madison Avenue and Raintree Road. The company had expressed concerns complying with the ordinance would put the drive-through between customer parking. The city says the ordinance adopted in May 2006 was an "unintended consequence." The public hearing would be on September 24th.

boreal boats
Posted by: mandylee3 on Mar-27-13 10:25 PM (EST)
I ran into similar issues last fall while searching for a boat. I'm 5'8", 115lbs. After a ton of research and some test paddling I went with the Boreal Design Baffin p1. It's 16'6' long and 21.5"wide. They also make the Epsilon in a p1, which I believe has similar dimensions. I was looking for a longer touring boat so didn't look at the WS Tsunami SP, but with how petite she is it might be worth checking out.
