Building a MG Unicorn without InstructionsSubmitted by Falldog on May 2, 2014 - 7:59am
I've got quite a few Master Grade Unicorn Gundams in my collection. By last count I'm at 12 including the Banshee variants. When I picked up the last three for a bit of a project I was challenged on Reddit to build one without the manual. It wasn't the first time someone threw that task out there so I thought I'd give it a go.

Interesting, if not exactly exciting. It's Eureka Seven meets King Gainer which probably suggests the most Tomino influence in Gundam for some time. I have my doubts, especially since King Gainer was a complete miss for me. Well, other than the opening.

Hot off the presses. Still lots of unanswered questions as to the nature of this series. Looks like it's going to be an OVA series? And more CGI'd mecha (bleh)?

Customs bureau likely to miss 2012 revenue target
The Bureau of Customs (BOC) has yet to disclose its total revenue collection for 2012 because "the figures are still being finalized," Commissioner Ruffy Biazon said Tuesday.
"Some collections from various ports nationwide are still coming in," he told the Philippine Daily Inquirer in a text message.
These are, among others, the major ports of Manila and Cebu and the Manila International Container Port.
Sources in the bureau, however, said it had failed to meet its 2012 collection target of just over P347 billion, raking in only close to P288 billion, for a shortfall of nearly P60 billion.
But the sources pointed out that the collection was P22.5 billion more than was brought in in 2011, which was P265.1 billion.
Biazon had earlier described the bureau's collection target for 2012 as "stretched."
The goal was "increased by almost 30 percent compared to 2011… so while we missed the target in the first 11 months of 2012, it was really because it was high to begin with," he said.
Late last year, a study conducted by the House of Representatives' Congressional Policy and Budget Research Department (CPBRD) showed the BOC would most likely miss its revenue target for 2012.
Citing the bureau's collection figures in the first seven months of the year, the CPBRD said the BOC was expected to raise only P290 billion.
With a 2013 collection target of P397 billion, Biazon said this year would be "more challenging" for agency personnel.
The Bureau of Immigration, on the other hand, surpassed its revenue target of P2.5 billion for 2012 with a collection of more than P2.7 billion which was attributed to the surge in foreign tourists visiting the country.
In a statement, Immigration Commissioner Ricardo David Jr. said that last year, bureau collections totaled P2.728 billion—five percent higher than its target of P2.5 billion and 14 percent more than the previous year.
At least P1.77 billion was collected by the main office in Intramuros, Manila, while P956 million came from immigration field offices across the country.
David attributed the increase to the large number of foreign visitors last year.
The Department of Tourism recorded 3.83 million tourist arrivals from January to November last year mostly from South Korea, the United States, Japan, China and Taiwan.
"Our collection from immigration fees is steadily rising and that again indicates that the Philippines is fast emerging as a favored tourist and investment destination in the Asia Pacific," David said. With a report from Jocelyn R. Uy

Select Local Merchants
Tru Massage TherapyRead MoreDanielle Rivera, owner of Tru Massage Therapy, did not set out to become a massage therapist. "I like helping people," she says, and she did so for many years as a CNA in nursing homes. When she began to transition to a medical-assistant program, Rivera discovered her passion for massage. She got her massage license in 2008 and never looked back. Now, Rivera and a team of therapists provide 10 massage modalities and myriad spa services. In addition to botanical body wraps and waxing services, Rivera's talent for clinical massage has improved her patients' lives and her ability to open industrial-size jars of pickles. "I had a client that could only lift his arm 90 degrees, and after working on him. . . he could go up to 160 degrees." She has also provided relief for migraine sufferers. Clients who "were taking prescription pain meds. . . were able to cut down their prescriptions significantly" or repurpose them altogether into beaded necklaces.3400 W 49th St.Sioux Falls, SD US
Midwest Massage TherapyRead MoreFor more than 20 years, Midwest Massage owner Sheldon Haas has been using his hands to help heal and relax clients by providing services backed by an average of 30 hours of continuing education each year. Beyond employing Swedish and deep-tissue techniques to thwart pain and tension, he uses his experience working for the Avera Mckennen Hospital and Wellness Center and Midwest Orthopedic Center to help correct chronic and difficult issues. Medical or ortho massage is one of his specialties and targets specific problem areas by working down through individual layers using a blend of deep tissue, myofacial release, and range of motion restoring methods. Whatever style of massage you choose, Sheldon takes care to customize each service to your individual preferences, listening carefully for cues to your desired level of pressure and softly reciting your favorite Walt Whitman poems entirely from memory.3600 S Marion RdSioux Falls, SD US
Royal Table MassageRead MoreRoyal Table Massage owner Rebecca Herrmann moved her nine-year-old business into its current location so that she and her staff could impart relaxation to more clients at once—seven, to be precise. She and her staff have mastered therapeutic massages but also utilize massage's rejuvenating principles in treatments for the face and body. The space's turquoise-and-blue color scheme exudes serenity, easing clients into the services that tend to leave them feeling as relaxed as a rooster dining at a vegan restaurant.3214 S West AveSioux Falls, SD US
Absolute BlissRead MoreThe dedicated cosmetologists at Absolute Bliss help clients choose from a full spa menu of skin, hair, and nail treatments to transform tired exteriors into vibrant veneers. Like fashion-forward math teachers, stylists snip tresses to geometrical perfection, relax unruly curls, or apply artful streaks of flattering color. Formaldehyde-free Shellac layers onto nails by the hand of a talented manicurist for a high-gloss sheen that can endure without chipping for 14 days. The salon also deforests epidermises with sugaring treatments, and improves visages with facials, microdermabrasion, and airbrush spray tanning.535 S Summit AveSioux Falls, SD US
Body GarageRead MoreThe Body Garage focuses on providing quality services with a scientific approach to skin care. As a medically directed spa, The Body Garage uses top-notch products while providing preventative skin maintenance to ensure skin as beautiful and shiny as a Transformer. As part of your choice of treatment, you get a consultation based on a Visia Complexion Analysis. The analysis inspects skin while measuring visible and invisible sun damage and evaluating wrinkles, pores, and clingy barnacles. Visitors will then choose between a microdermabrasion treatment (referred to as a mega peel on The Body Garage's website) or a custom chemical-peel treatment, with both options helping to exfoliate the skin, accelerate new skin growth, and decrease the effects of aging.6300 South Lyncrest AvenueSioux Falls, SD US
Village Hair and SpaRead MoreVillage Hair and Spa has been a local beautifying staple for over 20 years, and its friendly and experienced staff specializes in bestowing the under-pampered portion of the population with a wide range of hair and body treatments. Its strand stylists are particularly adept at helping each client find the best haircut for his or her face and personal style. If you already know what you're looking for, Village Hair?s stylists can take that vision and make it even better than you imagined, just like Hollywood's big-budget adaptation of your Golden Girls fan fiction. Undergo a mane makeover with a cut ($32?$45) and color ($79?$109 for both treatments together), or indulge in a full-service manicure ($27?$32) to buff your finger helmets to a new level of shine. Village Hair and Spa also offers a full menu of waxing services ($19?$60), facials ($75?$80), skin-renewal treatments ($57?$170), and specialty body services ($75?$94).3301 E 26th StSioux Falls, SD US

Cautions against admitting TDP cadres 'blindly' into Congress
Member of Legislative Council (MLC) M. Sudhakar Babu has urged APCC chief Botcha Satyanarayana to be cautious in admitting TDP cadres into Congress party.
Referring to the plan of admitting Kappatralla Parappa Naidu into Congress, he said this may hurt many a Congress worker in the district. He explained that Paramappa Naidu and his supporters were responsible for the havoc and spilling of blood in Devanakonda mandal for 30 years.
He said it was a ploy by the TDP leaders to weaken the structure of the Congress.

THINGS are looking up for the designer of a screw that could save aerospace and engineering companies a fortune in maintenance costs. Tests of the design show that it outperforms the three most common types of screw, and British aerospace companies have agreed to examine the new findings later this month.
John Galbraith, an independent inventor and freelance aircraft engineer based in London, has been trying for years to interest companies in his patented "Galbraith recess" (Technology, 10 August 1991). The screwhead has a triangular recess that can be turned using a screwdriver with a prismshaped head. Galbraith says that his screws can be fastened between 30 and 50 per cent tighter than other designs, because the turning force or torque is spread equally between the three surfaces of the recess.
The screwheads are also less likely to be damaged when the screwdriver tilts and slips out. Galbraith says that ...

Obama, advisers weigh Afghanistan shift, Pakistan
Further, the vast majority of the U.S. aid to Pakistan is believed to be diverted from its intended purpose of battling militants. A bill awaiting Obama's signature would triple U.S. aid to Pakistan to $1.5 billion a year while attaching conditions aimed at stopping that diversion. Those protections, however, have prompted fresh complaints in Pakistan about Washington meddling – including a rejection by the country's powerful military of links between aid and increased monitoring.
All this makes the U.S.-Pakistan relationship fraught, and asking for additional cooperation extraordinarily delicate. Regardless, U.S. officials believe they can neither win in Afghanistan nor succeed more broadly against al-Qaida without it.
Wednesday's White House meeting began with intelligence and political assessments from key players. The ensuing discussion focused on possible ways to gain additional help from Pakistan, said a senior administration official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to reveal details. That includes efforts on diplomatic and civilian fronts, as well as military.
A senior government official, also talking on condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the talks, said the discussion continued a genuine debate among advisers in which Obama remains undecided.
McChrystal's recommended approach calls for additional troops in Afghanistan for a counterinsurgency campaign to defeat the Taliban, build up the central government and deny al-Qaida safe haven. McChrystal, whose plan is somewhat reminiscent of Bush's Iraq troop "surge" in 2008, says extra troops – preferably at the higher end of his option range – are crucial to turn around a war that will probably be won or lost over the next 12 months.
On roughly the opposite end of the spectrum, an alternative favored most prominently by Vice President Joe Biden would keep the American force in Afghanistan at around the 68,000 already authorized, including the 21,000 more troops Obama ordered earlier this year, but increase the use of surgical strikes with Predator drones and special forces.
Shrinking the number of troops in Afghanistan and turning the effort into a narrow counterterror campaign is not on the table, and neither is drastically ballooning the footprint.
In weighing whether to follow McChrystal or Biden or land somewhere in between, Obama faces a stern test and difficult politics.
Many lawmakers from his own Democratic Party, aware of rising anti-war sentiment in their ranks and the war protests that have dotted Washington this week, do not want to see additional U.S. troops sent to Afghanistan. According to a new Associated Press-GfK poll, public support for the war has dropped to 40 percent from 44 percent in July.
Republicans, meanwhile, are urging Obama to heed the military commanders' calls soon or risk failure.
In giving McChrystal's request to Obama, Defense Secretary Robert Gates bypassed the commander's direct bosses in the military chain of command who would ordinarily have a chance to add their own comments first.
Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell denied the unorthodox move provides evidence of a divide between the uniformed military and its civilian bosses over management of the war. He said Gates and Obama wanted to prevent a leak to the news media, as McChrystal's underlying war assessment was last month.
And though Gibbs had said previously that Obama didn't want to see the request until he had decided strategy, aides said the president decided it had simply become absurd to wait to read it.
Attending the White House meeting Wednesday was a now-familiar cast of characters including Biden; Gates; Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton; Afghanistan/Pakistan special envoy Richard Holbrooke; Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Gen. David Petraeus, commander of the region including Iraq and Afghanistan, and McChrystal by videoconference.
Associated Press writers Anne Gearan and Pamela Hess contributed to this report.

I cant believe how some people jumped like two prestiges or more this weekend. It takes about 17-18 hours for me to prestige. So Im guessing the people who prestiged more than once played like +/- 30 hours this weekend. Thats a whole lot of CoD, dont you guys have like jobs, homework, kids, girlfriends/wives, watch football, outside recreations or sleep? Im not making fun of anyone I just cant wrap my head around people playing a game that long.
"Luckys an old buddy of mine...and by buddy I mean the a-hole that ruined my Momma's girl parts."
I think I started at 18 and made it to 30. Yeah, I only just started playing a week ago or so. I don't care about my rank or K/D or W/L, I just want to unlock stuff and try out new combinations.

Naples, Italy
My Rating
We thoroughly enjoyed this tour, departing promptly from the port at Naples and meeting our guide at Pompeii. Andrea was very knowledgeable and his commentary of the site was both informative and amusing. After a pizza lunch we travelled to Mt Vesuvius, a journey of 45 minutes,during which the weather took a turn for the worse and on arrival at Mt Vesuvius a storm was imminent and therefore for safety reasons access to the mountain was closed, disappointing but unavoidable. Good value for money excursion.
Dubrovnik, Croatia
My Rating
We had a thoroughly enjoyable day in Dubrovnik, starting with a walking tour of the city, followed by a tour of the walls in the afternoon. Our guide, Ana, was excellent, pointing out so many places of interest and explaining the history of the area including the more recent conflict. She is very knowledgeable and organised the tour very well on what was a crowded and hot day. Excellent value for money.
Juneau, Alaska
My Rating
When we booked this excursion we were under the impression that it would follow the itinerary as advertised. This was not our experience. We initially had the short city tour and were then taken to the Medenhall glacier where we were told that we would be collected from there in about 30 minutes to join a whale watching ship. We had anticipated that, as advertised, this part of the excursion would take place after the whale watching cruise, thereby allowing us time to explore the glacier area and then make our own way back at our leisure to the cruise ship. After spending such a short time at the glacier we made our way to the pick-up point where we spent the next 45 minutes waiting for the bus; the organisers had forgotten we were there and had to send a special driver to collect us. This was chaotic and spoilt our time at the glacier as we were unable to walk the trails there due to lack of time.
The whale watching cruise was superb with a very informative and enthusiastic crew.
Overall, we enjoyed our day in Juneau but this excursion should follow the advertised programme and it needs much better communication with the organisers of each segment of the tour.

WINGATE, N.C. — A pair of Newberry seniors finished the day 2-0 as Romina Adum and Marina Ziehe both picked up singles and doubles victories in Newberry's 5-4 loss at No. 50 Wingate on Monday at the Wingate University Tennis Complex.
Newberry (6-4, 2-1 SAC) fell behind after the first doubles match, but knotted the match back up with a victory at No. 1 doubles by Adum and fellow senior Susana Aguirre. Newberry not only tied the match up, but took control of the match with a victory over the Bulldogs' (5-2, 1-0 SAC) No. 2 doubles pair.
At No. 2 doubles, the Wolves' pair of sophomore Vanessa Ortiz and senior Marina Ziehe was of the comeback variety, as the Newberry duo battled from behind to top Tiffany Williams and Layla Tanik 9-7.
Singles play saw the Bulldogs regain the lead from the Wolves with wins at No. 4, No. 1 and No. 3 singles. The Wolves' first singles victory came at No. 2 as Adum battled through a tight first set, before earning a large second set win over Caroline Holland to pull the team score to 4-3 in Wingate's favor.
Wingate clinched the match with a win at No. 5 singles. The Wolves final point of the match came at No. 6 as Ziehe came back from a set down to top Williams.
The Wolves women are set for a non-conference in-region match on Wednesday as Newberry hosts Lander at 2 p.m. on the Cannon Tennis Courts.

Taking a step backwards, the Shiv Sena finally invited BJP chief Amit Shah to the Thackeray family residence of Matoshree in Bandra East. Earlier, political circles were thrown into a tizzy after Shah's schedule for his maiden visit to Mumbai after being appointed as the BJP national president did not include a customary visit to Matoshree.
This was a break from convention where senior BJP leaders called on late Sena chief Bal Thackeray when they visited Mumbai and was seen as snub to the BJP's oldest ally and had acquired significance in the backdrop of an intense power struggle between the Shiv Sena and the BJP before the state assembly polls. The BJP is trying to force the Sena on the backfoot after the death of Sena supremo Bal Thackeray in 2012 and the rise of Narendra Modi on the national stage.
The six-party 'Mahayuti' sweeping the Lok Sabha polls with 42 of Maharashtra's 48 seats due to the Narendra Modi factor has led the BJP shedding its underdog status to edge out the Shiv Sena and acquire the aura of the dominant partner. The BJP is seeking a hike in the number of seats allocated to it in the coming assembly polls and is also eyeing the chief minister's post. That the Sena's ties with the new dispensation in the BJP have been seen as frosty have also not helped matters.
While BJP leaders had said Shah would meet Uddhav if invited, Sena sources said Uddhav had done the honors on Thursday.
"The doors of Matoshree are open for everybody," said a Sena source. Before visiting Matoshree late on Thursday, Shah also paid his respects to Thackeray Sr at his memorial garden at Shivaji Park in Dadar.
Meanwhile, Sena president Uddhav Thackeray who has already unveiled his party's vision document for the state sought to project himself as a visionary leader and announced his plans to give out tablet PCs with pre-loaded audio-visual learning aids in micro SD cards for students from Standard VIII to X in civic and zilla parishad schools once they came to power. Schools and ashramshalas in rural areas will get television sets with a kit consisting of these aids to be shown to children and also provide academic support to teachers.
"This revolutionary step will be taken once our government comes to power... Some political parties announce freebies like TVs, refrigerators and ACs for voters but we will give you the strength to purchase it... through education," Uddhav said, adding that these gadgets will also be loaded with books on the independence movement and on icons who led the Indian renaissance.
"I will take education to those boys and girls who have been unable to educate themselves due to adverse conditions," he added. Solar chargers will also be given to students in rural areas where power cuts are rampant. "I will ensure that this is done," said Uddhav, who is projected by his party men as the saffron combine's chief ministerial candidate, while stressing on the "I." He added if elected, their government would cut down on extra vagrant spending of public money. In 2009, the Sena contested 169 seats and the BJP fought from 119, winning 45 (including an independent) and 46 respectively.
This time around, the two parties will also have to accommodate allies like Ramdas Athavale's RPI (A), farmer leader and MP Raju Shetti's Swabhimaani Paksha, Mahadeo Jankar's Rashtriya Samaj Paksha (RSP) and MLC Vinayak Mete's Shivasangram, which may complicate things.

I made a method like this
class PersonCollection
[Contracts.CanReturnNull] //dont know if something like this exists?
IPerson GetPerson(Guid personId)
if (this.persons.Contains(personId))
return this.persons[personId];
return null;
Now the calling code needs to handle the null value properly. Is there a way to express a contract for all callers that they need to be able to handle the null value returned by this method?
PersonCollection pc = new PersonCollection();
IPerson p = pc.GetPerson(anyId);
p.Name = "Hugo"; // here I want to have a curly line
What I want is that the p gets marked as potential problematic.
EDIT I just modified the code and added the calling code and the expcected behaviour. Also I added an attribute that probalbly does not exists on the method GetPerson

I'm looking for a clean and fast and if possible, responsive, blog-style theme which features image-based blog posts.
Like this: http://i.imgur.com/bXwEc.png
My wordpress site features images in daily posts and I currently have a theme which is quite slow in loading and is not responsive at all. Are there are responsive themes which support the featured image on both the blog list view and within the blog itself? I don't write much and so the iamge needs to be the focal point of the blog posts. Also, due to prior advertiser commitment, I need a sidebar.
On the blog-list view (ie: no the blog post itself), it would be best if only the image was shown and not the blog description/text. On blog post: It should be able to zoom-in on the featured image.
Check any theme from virusnac !! [cosmothemes]

Thank you for your interest in Okanogan County PUD's Sustainable Natural Alternative Power (SNAP) program.
Okanogan County PUD is promoting the installation of customer-owned alternative power generation such as solar-electric systems and wind machines. The program will link customers who want to develop solar and wind power with those who are willing to pay a little more each month to support local solar and wind power generation. 100% of customer contributions to the SNAP fund will be paid to the SNAP solar and wind power producers within the PUD's service territory base on the metered AC kilowatts generated.
Participating in the SNAP program is a unique opportunity to promote the development of renewable resources and receive some payback on the investment in the power generating equipment. Following the instructions will help you determine if your solar or wind system qualifies to be a SNAP Generator. If you need help at any time during the application and installation process, please call the Energy Services Department at 509-422-8427, 509-422-8428 or 1-800-922-7011.
Take advantage of this program by following these steps:
1. Understand the SNAP program and Net Metering
Download and review all the PDF documents listed on this page.
You may elect to become a net-metered customer and a SNAP Producer, or only a net-metered customer. A SNAP Meter is the only additional equipment required for a net-metered solar or wind system to qualify as a SNAP Generator. If the system has battery backup, additional SNAP Meter(s) may be required. Okanogan County PUD will assist in determining type, number, and locations of SNAP Meters based on the system design. SNAP Meters will be read once a year.
Identify the SNAP Generation equipment you would like to install. Although Net Metering allows for systems rated up to 100 kW, the maximum system generating capacity allowed under SNAP is 25 kW. For purposes of determining SNAP production payments, SNAP systems rated greater than 25 kW but less than or equal to 100 kW will have their production correspondingly prorated down to 25 kW. Customers may purchase qualified solar and wind power generators from the retailer of their choice. Local contractors sell and install power generation systems.
Contact the appropriate city or county building and planning department to discuss your project. Determine whether you must obtain permits or if there are zoning restrictions that would prohibit the installation of your SNAP generator. You must obtain an electrical permit.
Contact your property insurer to discuss the installation of your power generator. Your insurance agent may need copies of receipts for the purchase of the equipment and the installation costs to update your homeowner's annual insurance premium. The PUD does not require liability insurance to become a SNAP Producer.
Contact an Energy Services representative by calling 509-422-8427 or 422-8428 or 1-800-922-7011 to discuss your project.
2. Applications, Agreements and Fees
Complete and return the following documents and fee(s) to the Energy Services Department at Okanogan County PUD, PO Box 912, Okanogan, WA 98840:
Attachment A: Application for Interconnecting a Generating Facility no Larger than 100 kW
Important information pertaining to this application:
- Interconnection inverter must be UL 1741 and IEEE 1547 listed
- An electrical schematic drawing must be included
- If a lockable visible disconnect is required, provisions for it must be included
Supplemental SNAP Producer Agreement
A check made out to Okanogan County PUD for $100.00 (SNAP Application Processing Fee).
Pre-Pay Line Extension Charge (if applicable). If additional facilities are required those fees will be calculated as a line extension.
Attachment B: Generating Facility Certificate of Completion
Attachment C: Net Energy Metering Interconnection Agreement
The Okanogan County PUD Engineering Department must approve each net-metered system before it may be interconnected with the PUD's distribution system. Location and type of SNAP Meters must be approved by the District before SNAP power generation starts. Safety-related testing of each SNAP and Net Metered system may be required before interconnection to the utility grid is allowed.
It is recommended that you first complete and return the Application for Interconnecting a Generating Facility no Larger than 100 kW, the Net Energy Metering Interconnection Agreement or the Production Metering Agreement for approval to be certain the system you own or intend to purchase meets all the requirements.
3. SNAP Generator Installation
After receiving approval to become a SNAP Producer and Net Metering Customer, you are ready to purchase and install your power generator.
Contact the appropriate city, county and/or electrical inspectors during installation. Remember to install your SNAP Generator according to the Interconnection Standards for Electric Generators With Generating Capacity no Larger than 100 kW and the Net Energy Metering Interconnection Agreement.
Call the PUD to schedule inspection of your completed SNAP installation.

Celtics made Doc Rivers highest-paid NBA coach
|05.19.11 at 10:47 am ET
Following the retirement of Phil Jackson, formerly the only eight-figure earner among coaches in the four major sports, Doc Rivers has become the highest paid coach in the NBA, according to Forbes Magazine.
After making $5.5 million this past season, Rivers will now make an average of $7 million over the next five seasons after signing a $35 million extension. He surpassed Spurs coach Gregg Popovich and Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni, who both make $6 million per season.
Interestingly, the magazine credits the jumps by Rick Pitino from the University of Kentucky to the Celtics and John Calipari from UMass to the Nets "as the catalysts driving NBA coaching salaries to a new level."
Meanwhile, the Celtics may have to hire a new assistant coach, as Lawrence Frank is a candidate for the opening head coaching positions for the Warriors and Rockets, although Mavericks assistant Dwane Casey appears to be the favorite in Houston, according to CBS Sports.
As a side note, Forbes determined Patriots head coach Bill Belichick's annual estimated salary of $7.5 million is the highest paycheck for any coach in the four major sports.

so all the whining on the kdf side this time (and as you see, i am kdf myself but i dont have a problem of the brel not getting another tactical console). if you are a good captain and you know your ship, the brel is a pretty good ship. giving it another tac console would make it overpowered. at least i would be because i have a powerful build which exploded the last time like a month ago in kerrat. one more tac console and i would beat the **** out of everyone with even more ease.
Nobody is discounting the B'rel as a PvP ship, especially in Kerret. That's pretty much all it's good for though. If you fly it in PvE, while it might be ok, there are other ships that outperform it in every aspect.

The Hecht Company Warehouse in Washington, D.C. is a Streamline Moderne style building. Designed by engineer Gilbert V. Steel of the New York engineering firm Abbott and Merkt, and prominently located on New York Avenue, it served as the central warehouse for The Hecht Company from its construction in 1937 and expansion in 1948. The building uses glass block extensively, culminating in a twelve-pointed star-shaped cupola at the corner, which is illuminated at night. Black brick interspersed with glass block spells out "The Hecht Co" at the fifth floor.
At its opening, the building featured an in-house vehicle repair shop, air conditioning for the basement and first two floors, and three railroad track platforms.
A careful rehabilitation was carried out in 1992, using matching materials.[2][3][4] The site and surrounding area are currently under redevelopment to turn the building into a mixed-use retail and residential complex called the Hecht Warehouse District.[5]

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx

Stuart Staples mumbled this very exchange with himself during the "Ballad of Tindersticks" on 1997's aptly named Curtains, their third record, in which a new, possibly virulent strain of self-consciousness in Tindersticks' corner of the pub was signaled as well by at least two appearances of the word "irony." (It's possible there were more, but Staples's lyrics often go missing down an empty glass or get buried along with his head in his tweedy sleeves.) Tindersticks had a pair of dazzling epics behind them, both called Tindersticks: baroquely romantic, bombastically depressive paeans to hopeless love, set in the cobbled alleys and grimy dives of someplace that looked like London (maybe rainier) but sounded variously like Baudelaire's Paris, Isherwood's Berlin, or Morricone's wild-west Italyoften all at once. Staples narrated in his 'luded baritone whinnya bit of Scott Walker's vibrato bravado, a little Dylanish hee-hawing, a touch of Sid Vicious's "My Way." Violins and cellos exulted, wept, or babbled incoherently after being stricken with a vision of the Venus in Furs, tipsy wisps of arpeggiated guitar wove their way through the deserted wee-hour streets, andalwaysan ethereal Fender Rhodes piano lulled our flaneur host into sleep, sprinkled pixie dust onto daydreams of his latest wayward sweetheart, or gently nudged him out the door at closing time.
Curtains was a last call of sorts: Tindersticks' next effort, 1999's wan Simple Pleasure, found the droll philosophes with a bad case of tourism, plunging earnestly into lockstep, sexless soul with pseudo-gospel strains and consistently comprehensible vocals. Still envious of Gaye's serene exhortations and Mayfield's anxious shimmy, the new Can Our Love . . . continues in a similar streamlined vein, but injects much missed old addictions: jarring atonal flourishes, morbid fatalism and suspicion cohabiting with quixotic faith and devotion. "This dying slowly seemed better than shooting myself," Staples decides on the opening track. There's a hell below and we're all going to go.
Can Our Love . . . is far less sprawling and ornate and generally prone to seizure than Tindersticks I and II, but menacing shadows have returned to flicker in the corners of these solid song structures, and creeping rot eats away at the seemingly hardy verse-chorus-verse foundations. "People Keep Comin' Around" insists on its own untethered paranoia with a roiling, rattling organ part and stalker courtesies ("You know I'll always wait"), though Staples trades lines with soothing superego figure Dickon Hinchliffe, who eases the tension somewhat. (Hinchliffe also handles the string and brass arrangements, and shares crucial keyboard duties with David Boulter.) The orchestral parts often slip just barely out of tune, sounding warped by mistreatment or, more likely, pelting rain. "No Man in the World" is the de rigueur murmured-word selection, repositioning the bedraggled, love-damaged poète maudit as landed gentry but still up the same old creek, "sitting in the garden watching our house burn."
To be sure, the songs often wind on too long, without hairpin turns or scenic detours to enliven the trip. The centerpiece title track, all coaxing bass and please-baby-please, is Staples's stab at his very own "Let's Stay Together," but he cut a more convincing figure playing a slumped Leonard Cohen adept than an on-my-knees soul provider. "Don't Ever Get Tired" is more diffuse: Melancholy arpeggios wind their way through the folk-pop pastoral hillside, drenched in autumn showers of Hammond and a guitar solo cribbed from "Gold Soundz." The song is unassailably pretty, but it's an adaptor plugit could be a filler track on filler-free lovelies ranging from Joe Henry's Kindness of the World to Bedhead's Beheaded to R.E.M.'s Automatic for the People.
Tindersticks' trajectory, in fact, does have its affinities with R.E.M.'s: an unfairly maligned Difficult Third Album clears the decks and the lead singer's nasal passages, and what's gone from the later work, however accomplished it may be, is that startling strangeness, the rare, eerie thrill of hearing something that sounds only like itself. And as with Michael Stipe, Tindersticks' finest creative collaborations of late have been in the filmmaking arena: composing the scores for arthouse movies. After stirring the translucent waves of purring bass and wafting Fender Rhodes that buoyed Claire Denis's chimerical tone poem Nenette and Boni, Tindersticks are featured in the opening scene of Patrice Chereau's much anticipated hardcore sexapalooza Intimacy and provide the score for Denis's Trouble Every Day, which promises, the press notes say, "an obscene pile-up of post-coital carnage" and reportedly features Vincent Gallo eating a chambermaid to death as they have sex. Le petit mort indeedhere's hoping Tindersticks' cinematic leaps can prep them to dive headlong and blind into the wreckage once again, leaving behind all inhibiting sense of their own still-transcendent ridiculousness.

There are whispers that Beyoncé and Jay Z are working on their marriage by seeing a relationship therapist.
According to Ok! magazine, the hip-hop power couple is going counseling three times every week to help them get past their rumored issues as a couple.
The memory of Solange attacking Hov in an elevator after the 2014 Met gala is still fresh in everyone's minds. It's unclear what may have motivated the fight last month, but there's word that Bey confronted fashion designer Rachel Roy for getting too flirty with Jay that evening. From these reports its assumed that Bey and Jay might be facing some problems with infidelity.
Speaking of Rachel, a source claims that he called Rachel in front of Beyoncé to cut all ties with her. No more cozy dinners, no more late-night phone calls," the insider alleges. "He's even deleted her number from his phone."
Neither Jay Z nor Beyoncé have commented on the rumored couple's therapy, but we imagine that it might be tough to keep up with their sessions once their On The Run Tour begins.

Final Score: LA Lakers 111, Utah 106
Anaheim, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Steve Blake buried all five of his 3-point tries and led seven Lakers in double-figures with 19 points, as Los Angeles earned a 111-106 victory over the Utah Jazz on Friday in the final preseason game for both teams at Honda Center.
Pau Gasol and Nick Young each netted 16 points, while Xavier Henry added 13 points off the bench for the Lakers, who finished the preseason 4-4 and will open the regular season on Oct. 29 at Staples Center against the team they share the court with, the Los Angeles Clippers.
Shawne Williams and Jordan Farmar each finished with 11 points while Jordan Hill chipped in 10 points in the victory.
Gordon Hayward and Alec Burks netted 18 points apiece to lead the Jazz, who wrapped up the preseason at 1-7 and will begin their regular-season slate on Oct. 30 at home against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Rudy Gobert registered 16 points and nine rebounds off the bench in defeat.
Utah held a slim 53-51 edge at the break, but the Lakers outscored the Jazz by 17 points in the third before holding off Utah down the stretch to secure the victory.

You use canvas totes to haul your groceries home, take public transportation, recycle, and maybe even compost. Yet when it comes to going on vacation, you tend to relax your standards, right? Hey, it's vacation after all. Who wants to think about how many plastic water bottles get tossed or whether a snorkel site's coral is in jeopardy?
No poolside margaritas or ceviche. No hot tubs or saunas. No horseback riding or waterskiing. Still, taking some time out as a couple before the baby arrives may turn out to be the vacation of a lifetime. It was for us.

The 14-year-old was fatally shot by police Friday night in the Old Irving Park neighborhood when he allegedly pointed a "large revolver" at pursuing officers, but authorities did not release his name and age until Sunday night. He was identified as Pedro Rios, of the 7400 block of North Ashland Avenue.
The three other people shot by Chicago police did not die. They included:
• A man shot Saturday night in West Englewood when officers chased him from a party and he allegedly pointed a gun at them.
• A 23-year-old man wounded Friday morning during a chase down an alley in Englewood when he also pointed a gun at police, officials said.
• A 45-year-old man shot in Rogers Park when he was chased by officers for drinking in public and claimed to have a gun, officials said. No gun was recovered.
All of the shootings are being reviewed by the Independent Police Review Authority, which is routine.
The 14-year-old was shot at Cicero and Berenice avenues around 9:50 p.m. Friday after officers saw him crossing Cicero heading east with something sticking out of his waistband and tried to stop him, police said.
Rios took off running and then pointed a "a large revolver" at pursuing officers, according to a statement released by the police department.
"It turned out to be a .44 caliber revolver with an 8- or 10-inch barrel," Fraternal Order of Police spokesman Pat Camden said. "A Dirty Harry-looking gun."
Officers fired and hit him, police said. He was pronounced dead about 10:10 p.m., according to the medical examiner's office, which did not release his name until late Sunday. The boy's family could not be reached for comment.
The 16-year-old was shot after officers were called to 87th and Morgan streets around 6:30 p.m. Saturday about someone firing shots in the area, Fraternal Order of Police spokesman Pat Camden said at the scene.
Officers started chasing Robinson because he matched the caller's description, but lost him for a few minutes when he ducked into a gangway between Morgan and Sangamon Avenue, Camden said.
Robinson tried to blend in at a party in the 8700 block of South Morgan Street but left and jumped a fence when the people at the party started complaining, police said.
The boy then hid under a car as officers caught up with him, police said. He began getting out from under the car and the officers told him to drop the gun, Camden said. He did not and the officers shot him, Camden said.
Police recovered a small .380-caliber semiautomatic handgun at the scene, Camden said.
Friends and family at the scene said Robinson was three days away from his 17th birthday. They said they had heard conflicting versions of what happened from neighbors and questioned the police account.
"The police killed him," said Robinson's mother, Georgina Utendahl, who said officers would give her no information about the shooting. "Why they killed him, I don't know.

San Francisco, California; and Boston, Massachusetts
Two women, 29 and 36 years old, with hyperparathyroidism due to chronic renal failure had extensive medial calcification and fibrous intimal proliferation of the small arteries of subcutaneous tissue and skeletal muscle. Both patients had severe necrosis of the skin of buttocks and lower extremities, often originating in localized areas of livedo reticularis. As skin lesions developed the first patient's fingertips became gangrenous, and the second patient experienced severe proximal myopathy with myoglobinuria. In the second patient skin and muscle damage occurred 3 months after kidney transplantation in the presence of moderately severe renal insufficiency. Plasma calcium, high after transplantation, became transiently normal as skin and muscle lesions became apparent. Plasma parathyroid hormone level, measured by radioimmunoassay before transplantation, was extremely high but slowly diminished after transplantation. It was concluded that in both patients skin and muscle lesions were a direct consequence of ischemia due to intimal proliferation in small arteries and ultimately were complications of hyperparathyroidism.

E-Dragsters Go for Gas-Powered Records
PORTLAND, Ore. — Straddling a 619-pound motorcycle, Scotty Pollacheck tucks in his knees and lowers his head as he waits for the green light. When he revs the engine, there's no roar. The bike moves so fast that within seconds all that's visible is a faint red taillight melting in the distance.
Pollacheck crosses the quarter-mile marker doing 156 mph; he's traveled 1,320 feet in 8.22 seconds, faster than any of the gas-powered cars, trucks or motorcycles that have raced in the drag sprints on this weekend at Portland International Raceway.
It's particularly impressive given Pollacheck is riding a vehicle that uses no gasoline and is powered entirely by lithium-ion batteries.
Electric vehicles are making their presence felt at amateur drag races across the country, challenging gas-powered cars and motorcycles. The "amp heads," computer geeks and tree-hugging environmentalists driving the electron-powered vehicles are starting to kick some major rear end.
Pollacheck and his bike – dubbed the KillaCycle – are part of a growing movement that's exploiting breakthroughs in battery technology and could soon challenge the world's fastest-accelerating vehicles in the $1 billion drag-racing industry.
"In professional drag racing I expect to see the electrics eventually pass up the fuel dragsters," said Dick Brown, president of AeroBatteries, which sponsors White Zombie, the world's quickest-accelerating street-legal electric car – a 1972 white Datsun 1200.
"Electric gives you instant torque whereas gasoline you have to build up," Brown said. "As we learn to manage it, you're going to see some really amazing performances."
Brown believes electric vehicles will challenge the top drag-racing records within five years.
The KillaCycle runs on 990 lithium-ion battery cells that feed two direct current motors, generating 350 horsepower. The bike accelerates from zero to 60 mph in just under a second – faster than many professional gas-powered drag motorcycles and within striking distance of the quickest bikes that run on nitromethane. With that hyper-potent racing fuel, riders can get to 60 mph in 0.7 seconds.
Bill Dube, KillaCycle's owner and designer, likens the sleek, hulking bike to an oversized household appliance.
"This is like a giant cordless drill with wheels," said Dube, who designs pollution measurement instruments for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Except for the batteries he receives from sponsor A123 Systems, Dube pays the costs of his racing team – about $13,000 a year – out of his own pocket.
"We have a chance of actually taking away some nitromethane records, perhaps the overall record," said Dube.
In drag racing, two vehicles accelerate from a standstill and race over a straight quarter-mile track. The National Hot Rod Association oversees the racing of amateur street-legal cars on hundreds of tracks around the country as well as the professional drag circuit.
In the most popular professional division, Top Fuel Racing, dragsters with large rear wheels and narrow bodies reach speeds exceeding 330 mph in 4.6 seconds. Drivers are practically flattened against their seats during their short ride, meeting more g-forces than astronauts during a space shuttle launch.
The National Electric Drag Racing Association holds just four races a year. But electric drag racers are increasingly showing up at drag strips across the country to show what they can do.
Their vehicles are posting faster and faster times at amateur meets, but they still have a ways to go before matching professional world record times. The fastest quarter-mile time by an electric vehicle is the KillaCycle's 8.16 seconds – that's 2.36 seconds off the nitromethane world record for drag bikes set by Larry "Spiderman" McBride last year.
And larger electric vehicles have even more catching up to do. White Zombie's best time in a quarter-mile is 11.46 seconds – that's quicker than a 2007 505-horsepower Corvette ZO6, one of the fastest production vehicles available to the general public – but it's still 6.4 seconds away from the Top Fuel record.
Not everyone in the gas-powered crowd is convinced electric vehicles are the next big thing.
"I certainly don't see them challenging for professional records in the near future," said Graham Light, senior vice president of racing operations at the NHRA. "We don't have a blind eye to new technology, new innovations and new methods of doing things" but "at this point I don't see a strong movement toward electric cars."
But electric vehicle racers say people like Light are out of the loop. They say rapid advances in battery technology will give EVs a shot at drag-racing records.
"This is a disruptive technology and there is a lot of room for improvement in this area," said Ric Fulop, founder and vice president of business development for A123, the maker of KillaCycle's batteries.
In December, the KillaCycle will receive a second-generation battery pack that will have twice as much juice as its current 374-volt system, giving it close to 1,000 horsepower. Fulop said he believes the KillaCycle can break the drag racing motorcycle record within the next year.
Electric drag racers are test-driving the technology that will eventually spill over into mass production cars, analysts say.
Today's hybrid cars, like Toyota Motor Corp. (TM)'s Prius, use nickel metal hydride batteries, which cost less than lithium-ion batteries.
But the price of lithium-ion is expected to drop. In addition, the latest generation of batteries offers a higher rate of conductivity and takes less time to charge – the KillaCycle's battery pack can be juiced up in five minutes. New materials also mean the battery is less prone to overheating and explosions – a danger of earlier generations.
Experts say lithium-ion batteries that will power a car tens of thousands of miles over their lifetime and deliver more horsepower are on the horizon.
The rechargeable lithium-ion battery market, which today mainly powers consumer gadgets, is worth an estimated $4 billion to $6 billion. That's expected to mushroom to between $9 billion and $11 billion by 2011 as the technology becomes more widely used by the military, medical and automotive industries, according to analysts at Frost & Sullivan.
The Chevrolet Volt, which is expected to be released in 2010, is a consumer hybrid that uses gas to power a charger and can travel 640 miles on a tank of gas and up to 40 miles on one electric charge. The vehicle will run on a lithium-ion pack similar to the one used by the KillaCycle.
Dube and other EV racers say electric cars aren't just about 2-cent-a-mile transportation, lessening reliance on foreign oil or curbing global warming. They're also about performance.
"For electric cars to matter, people have to buy them," he said. "If you have a car that is faster than everyone else's, if it's electric so be it, but people will buy it."

User reviews on AMC Dutch Square 14
This is the worst movie theater I have ever been to. The staff were rude, the managers were not helpful, and we were refused service because one of the members in our group did not have his ID for a rated R movie. He is 25 and has a beard. He was obviously the oldest person in our group but the staff and managers were to lazy to be bothered. I will gladly drive an extra 30 minutes out of my way to a regal cinema.
AMC Dutch Square is a great place to go to the movies. They are friendly and very clean. We always have a good time when we go to see a movie at Dutch Square. Their prices for movies are extremely reasonable(esp. Monday-Thursday). All the above then add in the movie club card and it is a wonderful place to spend several hours during the day.
