Pizza shop features West Side flavor
Once upon a time the Huck family had a Boston Terrier named Spankey. He was a "fine dog who loved cheese" says Ryan Huck, so when he and his parents decided to open west side pizza place, calling it "Spankey's" was a natural choice. "We thought it would be a fun name to use," says Lisa Huck, mother to Ryan and wife of Tom Huck, all part owners of Spankey's Una Pizza.
Spankey's is the newest eatery in the Sonntag strip mall that also houses a CVS, a Wesselman's, 2nd Hand Chic Consignment and El Charro Mexican Restaurant. Only opened since January 13, business has been booming for the walk-up pizzeria which specializes in pizzas with a thin cracker crust topped with fresh veggies and meat cooked directly on the pizza, allowing the flavor to permeate throughout, and hand sliced cheese.
Spankey's also features sandwiches, sodas and their special hand-rolled breadsticks. Ryan says their breadsticks are one thing that sets them apart from other pizzerias since many use frozen dough. "We make two batches of dough every day. One for pizza, and one for breadsticks. It's more labor intensive but you can tell the difference."
Discovering the right formulas for the food they serve was difficult. Ryan says it was only a week before they opened that he finally hit upon a sauce recipe that "I could eat every day." Ryan admits "I didn't know how hard recipes would be to come up with. There was a lot of wasted food. I'm a German Westsider, born on Reitz Hill we never throw anything away. I had to just learn to ignore pouring all that puree down the drain."
Lisa laughingly remembers the trials of perfecting the pizza dough. "Some of the dough I'd try to feed to the birds I had more dough than I had birds to feed!" But now that they have found right combination "The sauce and dough are locked in. People like consistency — the basics are not going to change."
The months of research and development paid off in a pizza that the Hucks are very proud of. "So far people have appreciated it the extra detail," says Ryan, who tells the crew "Make it good, don't make it fast." That philosophy even goes into the oven temperature. Ryan says most pizza places cook their pizzas in ovens upwards of 500 degrees but at Spankey's "I bake at a lower temperature. It adds three to four minutes to the cook time but it gives it a crispier crust."
Some popular choices on the menu are The Westsider, an all-meat pizza that got it's name from Tom. Ryan says it fits the personality of the west side, "a hearty pizza at a reasonable price." Happy Couple is another favorite; half meat, half veggie. And Spankey's is proud to offer Ski in their drink case. "Ski is very important," says Ryan. "We can't keep it in stock."
Owning a West Side business has been fun for the Hucks, a family Tom describes as "True westsiders. We'll be westsiders till we die." Lisa says they see so many people they know picking up pizzas that coming to work is like a "mini-Fall Festival."
But Spankey's doesn't just like to have local customers, they also enjoy being local customers, and prefer to get as many of their supplies as possible in town. That means getting their fresh meat from The Old Fashioned Butcher Shop, their shirts from SouthWest Grafix on Franklin Street, their equipment from Weber's, also Franklin Street, and their signage from Evansville Print Specialist.
A 2000 Reitz graduate, Ryan knew he wanted to someday own his own business. After dabbling in sales, art, painting houses and working for other pizza joints he was ready to take his combination of skills and put it work for himself. His parents were interested in starting a family business. At first they considered purchasing a pizza restaurant already in operation, but when that didn't pan out they decided to open their own. Ryan says managing the shop uses "every skill set I have," down to designing the layout of the store and it's bright, classic interior that calls to mind a vintage diner.
Lisa is set to retire from her job at Work One so she can work full time at Spankey's, taking orders and managing the books. Tom still drives a truck for IMI so his presence in the day to day running of the shop is limited but he stills gets involved as much as he can. Ryan credits his staff of full and part-time employees with keeping the transitional time smooth. "I have a great crew they are really motivated to get the job done." And Ryan is motivated to keep his crew happy. "I've been an employee and I know what I did not like." And he also likes to credit his girlfriend and fellow employee Megan Barchett with helping him balance his outlook. "I'm a shoot from the hip kind of guy, She's more "let's plan this out."
Ryan says he talked to other small business owners before they took the plunge and heard over and over again that if you work hard and have good customer service then "you'll be fine." That piece of advice led him to deciding to stay open 7 days a week, for lunch and dinner. Right now Ryan puts in fifteen hour days but he doesn't mind if it means success for Spankey's. "Ryan is a bright person, and young, and he'll take it where he wants to take it," says Tom.
And Ryan plans to take Spankey's far, dreaming of expanding the menu to include new varieties of pizza and sandwiches and venturing into dessert pizzas, and someday opening locations downtown and on the East Side.
"I don't have any illusion that I'll open up a restaurant and be rich," says Ryan, " I'll be rich in experiences."

Bartlett officers on hunt for Circle K robber
Man demanded money from clerk at gunpoint
Bartlett police are searching for an armed robber who demanded a large cupful of money during a convenience store holdup early Wednesday.
A white man wearing blue jeans, a grey T-shirt and a "do-rag" on his head walked into the Circle K gas station and store at Germantown Parkway and Stage shortly before 2:30 a.m.
The man went to the drink machine, got a 32-ounce soft drink cup and pointed and cocked a silver, .38-caliber revolver at the clerk. The robber ordered: "Give me all the money and put it in the cup or I will kill you."
The robber didn't like what the clerk put in the cup.
"I want more than the ... ones. Pull the drawer out," the robber yelled as he again threatened the clerk's life.
The report does not say what the clerk put in the cup the second time.
The robber left the store and got into an unknown vehicle.
A witness reported seeing a suspicious red car parked behind the gas station for 20 to 30 minutes before the holdup.
The car then pulled up to the gas station, a man got out and went into the store, then drove off in the car about five minutes later, the witness said.
Police are reviewing a store videotape.
The robber was described as about 5-feet-10-inches tall and weighing about 160 pounds.

Read a few hints to Carrara 9… Could it be? I would love that, but according to manly stanly in his opinion DAZ will not release a Full bore version of Carrara 8.5 but will go straight to 9 and price it as a new PRODUCT!

This holiday season, as you're rushing around Carytown in search of stocking stuffers after listening to "Jingle Bell Rock" for the millionth time, don't be alarmed if a friendly stranger hands you a gift.
"Professional cuddling offers soothing touch and comfort in a safe, calm environment," says Mary Tucker, a local business woman who hopes to open RVA's first cuddling salon, The Holding Company.
Through tactful scares and cloying doubt, The Babadook has proven itself to be the most frightening film of the year. Carefully balancing familiar horror tropes with gut-wrenching family drama, The Babadook lures viewers into an odd sense of stasis and then scares the shit out of them.
I love the Black Keys, but I fully did not expect to go to this show. Knowing that it was at the Coliseum, I figured it wouldn't be a very intimate show as it may have been at the National.
Washington, D.C. has recently been making moves towards the legalization of marijuana.
Starting a small business in Richmond can be a bit of a hassle. Some call the city's current procedures and requirements exceedingly extensive; and for some, starting an organization may not even be worth the trouble.
That is, unless Heide Trepanier's petition is accepted to City Council.

River City Barn Dance Holiday Hoedown, feat. Andy Vaughan & the Driveline, Loversville, Cary Street Ramblers @ Hardywood - Free!
I'm late to the party on this one, folks--River City Barn Dance is a monthly event that Andy Vaughan has been putting on around Richmond for something like two years now (maybe longer? Two years ago was when I first heard about it). It brings together the finest country sounds coming out of RVA right now with some old-time square-dancing fun, and mixes the whole thing with the excellent craft beer always on tap at Hardywood.
The industrial/hip hop project of Stefan Burnett, drummer Zach Hill, and producer Andy Morin may have called it quits earlier this year, but they've still got one more album to release, and the first single is totally fucking brutal.
The holiday spirit is in the air, and New Years Eve is fast approaching. These two occasions are a mix of ups and downs--love, hatred, and jealousy merging together to make for a ambivalent season for some.
If you like outlaw country, classic Americana, or any other kind of great music, you should definitely be excited about this one. Justin Townes Earle is headed to Richmond in a couple of months, bringing his outstanding songs to the Modlin Center on Wednesday, February 25.

'The Comeback' Season Finale Recap: Hollywood Ending
"In science, the term observer effect refers to changes that the act of observation will make on a phenomenon being observed."—"Observer effect (physics)," Wikipedia
It took a solid minute, at one point, for my brain to catch up with The Comeback last night, for the observer to understand the observed. It wasn't Valerie Cherish's superstar costar Juna's confession of hurt feelings or her other superstar costar Chris's profession of lust that did it. It wasn't blood flowing from her best friend Mickey's nose or shit gushing from Valerie's pipes. It wasn't the red carpet or the Emmys themselves. It was the almost physically disorienting sight of Valerie Cherish, off-camera.
When Valerie flees the award ceremony in a frantic attempt to contact her estranged husband Mark about Mickey's rapidly deteriorating health, she leaves Jane's camera crew behind. By rights, that should be the end of the episode right there. Everything we've seen during both seasons of The Comeback, after all, has technically been footage shot for one of its many shows-within-a-show: I'm It, Room and Bored, The Comeback, Seeing Red, The Assassination of Valerie Cherish, The Talk, Tonight Show, even The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. But when Valerie passes through the doors of the auditorium and out of the sight of the camera eye, there's no Sopranos-style crash cut to black. Valerie's still there, bathed in the warmth of film instead of the handheld coldness of digital. Suddenly, given the limitations imposed on every single shot in the series so far, we're seeing something that should be impossible to see. The reality show is over—this is real.Read More

The Montreal Impact are the newest team to the MLS and competed in their first home game
on March 17, 2012 in front of a then record crowd of 58,912 fans who purchased the first MLS
Montreal Impact tickets. The match ended in a 1-1 draw vs. the Chicago Fire but the supporters
who purchased Montreal Impact tickets were not disappointed as they saw firsthand as Davy
Arnaud scored the team's first goal in the MLS.
Talk of a 19th MLS franchise began in the late months of 2007, at the time Toronto FC held
a contract that named them as the exclusive MLS franchise in Canada until 2009. However,
during the 2008 season Toronto FC stated they would be thrilled to add another MLS franchise
in Canada and thus the dream of selling Montreal Impact tickets began. It took a few years for
the final destination of the MLS's 19th franchise to be declared but it was officially announced in
2010 that Montreal would be the city for a new franchise that would begin play in 2012.
The reason for the short time between the announcement and the time the team would begin
play was largely due to the fact that Montreal already had a professional soccer team that
played in the North American Soccer League and already had a home stadium and just needed
a short time to upgrade staff and players. The team initially decided to keep their name as the
Impact so they could continue to sell Montreal Impact tickets but changed their logo, colors,
and uniforms once they started play in the MLS.
Since Montreal already had a professional soccer team which had been playing at Olympic
Stadium, they were able to continue to play their first five home games at Olympic Stadium
until their official move to their new stadium. The name of their new and current home where
they sell Montreal Impact tickets is the soccer-specific Saputo Stadium. The reason for the
team's short stint at Olympic Stadium was mainly due to the fact that Saputo Stadium is an
outdoor facility and the team needed an indoor stadium because of the unpredictable spring
Canadian weather.
The franchise benefited from their games at Olympic Stadium however as they were able to sell
30,000 more Montreal Impact tickets per game at the larger multi-purpose venue as compared
to Saputo Stadium. The Impacts new home at Saputo provides the fans with a newer complex
that was constructed in 2008 and offers closer to the field seats giving those who purchase
Montreal Impact tickets with a great view of their new MLS team.
The teams first season in the MLS showed great support by the fans as the team's record
home attendance was 60,860 vs. the LA Galaxy at Olympic Stadium, and were able to come in
the middle of the league in attendance figures selling an average of 24,052 Montreal Impact
tickets per home game. Despite the support for their fans the team finished just one spot shy
of the MLS Playoffs coming in 6th in the Eastern Conference and 11th overall in the league, still
considered a good first year for the expansion franchise.

Unformatted text preview: Isabella Bailey ENC1101 Moorhead 3 April 2008 "Live Free and Starve" Chitra Divakaruni M1. Divakaruni's purpose in this essay is to explain that there is more to the situation of child labor in foreign count ries than just "children need to stop working and be free" due to the fact that they need to work to support themselves otherwise they would not be able to survive. M3. Third world count ries are underdeveloped countries that are not industrialized. M5. Reasons are that they need to work to stay alive and feed and clothe themselves; other reasons may be that they need to work to help support their families. WS1. The effect of a rhetorical strategy is to get people to think about something. Instead of just shooting off answers to actually ponder a situation or question and come to a deep conclusion about it. WS2. The structure of paragraph three demonstrates cause and effect because first it establishes that the cause of the children working like mules is the lack of child labor laws and the effect being what the children end up having to go through. WS3. The example of Nimai helps to explain that in some circumstances child labor can be a good thing. Though i t is not necessarily a desirable life i t can prove to be helpful. I t adds to the author's authority on the subject because she has seen fi rsthand child labor in action. L1. The metaphor captures the problem of children in poor families by establishing that sometimes children can be more of a burden than a wonder. L2. Divakaruni has compassion for the children of the villages, she feels awful that they have to resort to stealing and begging to be able to survive another day.

Gear Question
can you anyone give me a better idea of...
can you anyone give me a better idea of sizing? i am 6ft, 160lbs and usually have problems with sizing related to sleeves that are too short for my chest size (41 in chest, 34-35in sleeves. the sizing chart seems to imply that there isn't a very good solution here for me...
I'm 6ft tall and weigh 175lbs...normally wear a 34-45 inch sleeve. Just got my Shift Softshell in a Large. The fit is perfect. I too often find sleeves to be too short in many shirts & jackets sized as "Large". Very pleased with the sleeve length. Torso fit is on the snug side, but still enough room for a lightweight vest with a base layer or t-neck.

Just install it. You can always add a key later to activate it. It says I have 30 days to activate. I usually wait a few weeks anyway before I activate so I know that I like the install. Otherwise I just reinstall it.

Can this be used with the ipad 3 generation?
- Asked by Diane M
Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air Speakers with 30-Pin Connector
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Since it works with iPad 1st Gen and 2nd Gen, most likely it will work with iPad 3rd Gen. B&W does not recommend you dock an iPad; however, it does work. They recommend Aux input or AirPlay (iPad 2 and up). A 1st Gen iPhone works docked or aux input with the Zepp Air as well.

Thread: Colour Picker Pallete hotkey?
June 8th, 2006 #1
Colour Picker Pallete hotkey?
G'day guys, I was wondering if anyone knows what the hotkey for the colour picker pallete (the pallete that comes up when you click the forground colour too in the tools menu) is or what it is called in the key shortcuts menu. I've seen painting videos of people using it in the no tools black background view option and it looks very handy but im not sure what the key is. It would be very helpful to know.

I forget, but play around with holding ctrl and pressing the number keys... those are the diff. pallette shortcuts (except ctrl-0, that fits the image in the window)
June 8th, 2006 #3
i uusally just have a color wheele onscreen
and use that as my pallete
June 8th, 2006 #4
I would also like to know.. I went through so many short keys... but could never find out that one.. in the end I just gave up, surely there is one to bring that window up....
June 8th, 2006 #5
My bad... I was thinking of Painter... photoshop uses the F keys. F6 is the default color pallette....
And I just actually read you question.... D'oh! Er....
June 9th, 2006 #6
he he well it is in the PS section :p
hmm it appears that the only way you can make it come up is by clicking a colour picked square.... i'll have a bit more of a search around
June 11th, 2006 #7
I dont' think there is a hot key for bringing up the window.
Maybe you can create an action, that shows the palette...

June 11th, 2006 #8
Argh, I wish there was an option to keep the pallete open, like Painter...It's one of the reasons I switch to Painter sometimes.

Actually.. It's not thats it's not possible to do so. You would have to re create the color picker as a script and apply a short cut key to it... As far as I know you have to click and use F6 to bring up the slider... It's allso been a wanted feature for quite some time.. MAybe soon they will do it.

Forum - View topicSentai's Licensing Binge
|View previous topic :: View next topic
Posts: 7154
Location: Vancouver
So if you've been following the anime news lately you've probably noticed that Sentai has been licensing a ridiculous number of shows. Now it goes without saying that in the short term this is great for fans. It means we're seeing a ton of shows released. However, it's getting to the point where some people are getting worried. The more shows you license, the bigger the risk (although the potential reward is also greater). Especially given the industry's rather questionable history of flooding the market with titles there wasn't a market for I can see where these people are coming from. Of course, that was years ago. The industry has changed drastically since then. But still, I'm seeing a lot of comments telling Sentai to slow down.
So what do you think?

|It depends on the exact details of the contracts - if the vast majority of the minimum guarantee isn't payable until they put out a physical release(the articles about licensing mentioned the split offhandedly, but never delved into it, so I'm not sure how realistic this is), they'll almost certainly be fine.

It seems obvious to me that part of the contract, of the unwatched simulcast, is having to release a DVD of said product in the following year.
DVD only. Why? It automatically creates zero competition for the Japanese BD market. Because that's where anime market is going, or was going in America...
Whether the company wants to release it or not after viewing the entire work, they have to do it.
It's been awhile since we've seen "shovel-ware" anime and I believe this is a job for Sentai's "Maiden Japan" line.
To explain it as simple as possible, simulcasting and physical release combo contracts are a bad idea. Especially, especially if most of your money is coming from selling physical media. The first rule of capitalism is: Know what you're selling....

The spambot issue was fixed a while ago, you know. :p
I have to assume Sentai has some sort of protection that covers them licensing all of this, so for now I'm going to assume they're mostly safe. The aspect that bothers me most is that Sentai insists on announcing each title individually, despite most of them not being especially newsworthy. It's a pretty lame marketing tactic. Just look at the front page of ANN right now, about a third of the entries for the last few days are Sentai licenses.

The thing is, we really don't know. I haven't gotten the impression that anyone who has commented on this really knows what's going on.
Although it seems reckless, these guys did the same sort of thing when they were ADV and as far as I know, over-extending their purchasing wasn't what actually killed them- it was their business partnership.
So, I think they know what's going on. No, we're not in the anime bubble years but I have to figure purchasing prices have adjusted down so it also doesn't cost them as much to purchase so much.
Bring it on... then bring back the days of selling your overstock at ridiculously low prices. Oh how I loved those old ADV megas sales. I believe I bought the Excel Saga Imperfect Collection for $10 from one of those and a few other goodies as well.

Until I see some actual observable evidence of a problem, I will be optimistic that the only thing Sentai's licensing spree portends is that we, the fans, have more choice than otherwise would have been the case. I get the concern. We know our beloved anime industry is a niche enterprise and we've seen companies come and go. Skittishness is not surprising.
One of the frustrations I have with R1 distribs is that, as private companies, we fans have zero idea of what kind of financial health they are in unless a) an insider spills the beans (which never seems to happen) or b) the signs of distress are so obvious that anyone can tell something bad is going down (hi, Media Blasters).

|Hate to be a Negative Nelly. But I'm gonna go with the "There Doomed!" option. I just have this sinking feeling picking up all these shows will come back to bite them down the line. I will however be overjoyed if wrong.

I went with the "might hurt them, might not" option.
I don't think it's the volume of shows they are licensing as much as their recent penchant for licensing shows before they even start broadcasting in Japan. I recall some time ago there was an ANNCast with a former Geneon executive who noted one of the problems they had is they had paid large up-front fees for shows in development, then the market changed and there was no way to make their money back. Maybe Sentai is getting better deals on the up-front cost by getting in early, but if not I feel this is a tremendous risk. While it is always difficult to predict how well a show will do, in this case they really have little info with which to make any kind of prediction.
I hope it works out for them. No one wants to see another R1 licensor go away.

I chose "Spambot filter", because of all the options, this one is the most reasonable.
The rest are nothing more than options chosen by emotion, because we lack basic information to make a more reasoned choice.
Then again, I can easily see how the lack of information allowed for the poll to be created. Panic and fear seems to get people to do questionable things.
Some things to think about:
-Are all these titles to be released on DVD?
-Are they going to be released within a single year or over time?
-Will the stream, if any, come before the physical product?
Those are three off the top of my head which allowed me the choice of the best option on the list.

Hmm...Personally, I couldn't really choose an option. A lot will depend on how they handle these shows and whether they release them on DVD. I just don't think I can really come to any sort of conclusion based on the limited information available to us right now.
Hey look! I just said literally everything Mesonoxian Eve did without being an ass about it. Who'd have thought that was possible!

You rarely buy titles, so this news is pointless to you as well as any feedback related to it. I didn't see anything Sentai announced that would be entering your collection, given how strict you are when it comes to anime.
This isn't a bad thing, because it is your time and money, but stop pretending you care what we have to say on the matter because it's a waste of our time.
Call me the ass if it'll make you feel better. I don't mind, because when it comes to you, it's probably the nicest I'll be to you and this poll should start to give you a reason to understand why (it won't, but there's always hope).
Tell you what. I'll apologize if you can provide us with a reasonable answer to this question: Why do you care how people feel about Sentai's releases in the market you're not even a significant part of?
Because your "My Anime" list leaves little doubt this company's business model has no impact on you and I'm not feeling any love any answer I would have (really) provided would have mattered to you.
It's only when you thought I was an ass you responded.
Funny how that works, isn't it.

As a fan of anime overall he still has the right to not only have an opinion on these news items but still voice those opinions on the forums. Just because he doesn't buy their material doesn't mean he has no opinion on them; on the contrary, someone who avoids a company and/or their releases likely has a legitimate reason for doing so.
I don't know what the personal history is behind your always finding ways to pull ikill in the crosshairs but knock it off. Leave the grudges to personal channels and let's stop trying to turn the forums in to an avenue to air out ones personal grievances towards another poster. If he has an opinion on the matter then he has an opinion. Refute it, counter his points; whatever, but leave the personal jabs off the public forums.

Just as a point of clarification, I don't avoid Sentai at all. I own several of their shows and I plan to buy several of their recent licenses.

I picked "it's certainly risky. Might hurt them. Might not."
I see them as picking up more titles than I could ever possibly purchase from them, and this was in just one weekend. What if they have more in the pipe for Otakon? I'm not interested in 75 percent of these titles but even if I was there would be no way I could buy them all. I just don't have that kind of cash lying around, especially if I still want to buy titles from Media Blasters, Funimation, Rightstuf, and Aniplex of America. Not to mention the old Bandai, CPM, ADV, and Geneon titles that are OOP that I need to snatch up. And maybe NIS will put something out that I want. Who knows.
If they were the only player in the game this would be different, but they aren't. They aren't even the biggest player I don't think.

I want to go on the record saying that I am impressed as hell that Sentai (old ADV) even came back at all!
I think they cater to the more "Otaku" elements in Anime. I like how they handle 80% of their dubs. There's a number of titles over the years (since the implosion) that I've often said - dam, I wish ADV was still around, I wonder what they would've done with this.
They seem to be as excited about Anime as I am- where as FUNimation I think just sees $$ signs. I don't think FUNI skimps on production or slaps things together (if anything they polish TOO MUCH and to Long!).
I imagine Sentai as this patch-work of companies that all do a little bit of the process and they all scrape together for the love of the show. I like that they take risks - I honestly don't like probably 50% of the stuff they License (recently) but when they get hold of one my Favs - I am far less concerned than I would be if it was Media Blasters or FUNI.
If they can swing deals with CrunchyRoll & get shows at cost or take risks and hit a "home run" - I think they deserve their success. I sincerely hope they don't burn themselves out but if they did atleast I know they knew what they were getting into.

Turns out there is affordable housing, it's just not in Auckland
There is considerable moaning from the left about the lack of affordable housing.
As I have noted many times house are affordable even in Auckland. In fact there are so many that people are forced to sell them, and if they were truly unaffordable then none would sell, but sell they do.
But there are many affordable housing options, and is just that they aren't in Auckland.
At 20, Stacey Knuth of Whanganui has achieved what few young Kiwis her age can still do – buy a house.
She bought a state house in Gonville, a suburb which according to September quarter housing figures has the third-cheapest housing in the country.
A far cry from Parnell or Ponsonby, a house in Gonville had a median sales price of $110,000.
And it's in close proximity to the country's cheapest suburb, Castlecliff, where houses this quarter went for a median $88,000.
But Gonville has another distinction. It tied with Wellington's Brooklyn for the quarter's highest jump in house sales, up 145 per cent on the same period last year, due in part to a clutch of state houses on the market.
Whanganui has become a bit of a poster child for declining provincial towns, but to Knuth, who is locally born and bred, Gonville is a great place to live.
"I've been living here for about two months now and it's really nice, it's a good little four-bedroom home . . . It's a good little neighbourhood, I've had no trouble.
"There's no houses in front of me and no houses out back so on a clear day you can see the mountain straight out the front and then out back you can see the sea."

Despite tall claims of the police to intensify patrolling in Solan, fresh incidents of burglaries in the town have brought the efficiency of police under scanner.
Despite repeated requests of residents and leaders of various political parties, the alleged failure of the police in apprehending the culprits has lead to sense of insecurity and resentment amongst the residents in and around the town.
The burglars, besides decamping with cash worth thousands of rupees last night, also made attempts at certain business establishments.
Reliable sources in the police revealed that the culprits stuck at four shops, situated near deputy commissioner's office, and after breaking open the locks, took away the cash. Besides striking at the Capson Chemist shop, the burglars also broke open the locks of two grocery shops and a mobile shop last night.
Additional superintendent of police Padam Chand said that shortly after receiving the information, the police teams visited the spot and started investigations. He said that besides intensifying patrolling, policemen in civil dress have been deployed at various locations in and around the town to nab the culprits.

Black Scorpion voice
Those that watched the latest episode of Monday Night Raw heard Sting finally speak since joining WWE. Kind of. The vignette featured a voice that fans were not familiar with. It was actually the voice of Steve Borden, but the production crew altered that because they want to save his real voice for Wrestlemania. The idea was inspired by the Black Scorpion character, the masked performer who ended up being revealed as Ric Flair.
March 10, 2015
Ric Flair touring Europe
A lot of fans are hoping that WWE brings back Ric Flair as a permanent on screen character. If they decide to do that, then they will not have him for a week in May. The former world heavyweight champion has been booked for one man shows all across Europe. Flair will be entertaining audiences in Scotland, Newcastle, Leeds, Leicester, Portsmouth, London and Derby. Further dates could be added by his agent from now and then.

The Raith Rovers fan included the plot line in her 2007 novel Beneath the Bleeding.
She revealed she received a call from Rovers officials, as the club often hosted Gordon Brown, who was prime minister at the time.
McDermid, a team sponsor, said: "In one of my books, Beneath the Bleeding, the first murder is of a Premier League footballer. I have this fictitious city Bradfield and he's the striker for Bradfield Victoria, and he gets murdered.
"Later in the book a bomb goes off in the football stadium. This book was published in the summer that Gordon Brown became Prime Minister, so I get this call from the commercial manager at Raith Rovers. "He's going 'well thank you very, very much. We've had MI5 and the police crawling all over the stadium checking out the security before Gordon comes for a game and you write a book about blowing up a football stadium'."

for applications important to national defense. These advances in laser technology have also enabled several significant system advances. One example is the area of optical aperture synthesis, which rapidly went from the laboratory to flight system demonstrations within several years during the period since Harnessing Light appeared.
While the advances described above have enabled new capabilities for the United States, they have also narrowed the technology gap for adversaries. Importantly, the proliferation of low-cost, high-powered lasers has provided inexpensive countermeasures for adversaries. One example is the use of high-powered handheld laser pointers as laser dazzlers against helicopter pilots, causing a bedazzled pilot to become temporarily blinded or disoriented. The low cost and abundance of these devices put them in anyone's reach.
Changes Since the Harnessing Light Study
This section briefly discusses the changes in each of the areas that were addressed in Chapter 4, "Optics in National Defense" in the NRC's 1998 report Harnessing Light. For a more detailed discussion of these topics, see Appendix C in this report. The most significant changes have been due to the advances made in optical components that have enabled new sensors to be developed and demonstrated (see the section below entitled "Identification of Technological Opportunities from Recent Advances"). The following subsections provide an update for the areas of surveillance, night vision, laser systems operating in the atmosphere and in space, fiber-optic systems, and special techniques (e.g., chemical and biological species detection, laser gyros, and optical signal processing).
Surveillance still plays a critical role in detecting and assessing hostile threats to the United States. The progress in optical sensors over the past decade has created an exponential growth in ISR data from both passive and active sensors, including an increase in area coverage rate and an increase in sensor capabilities and performance. As the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) chief Regina Dugan puts it, "We are swimming in sensors and drowning in data."5 Materials advances have made collection at new wavelengths feasible, and improved components provide new data signatures, including vibrometry, polarimetry, hyper-spectral signatures, and three-dimensional data that mitigate camouflage for targets of interest.

46 year old man | Bayou Vista, TX, USA | Seeking women 37-49 within 50 miles
I'm done trying. Tired of the let downs.
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable-bruce Lee *****Update: As I reflect on the relationships I've had in the past, there is one that always comes to mind. It's not because of what I feel for her today but what I felt for her then. It reminds me what I've been missing in my life and what I want in my present and my future. She wasn't only my lover, she was my best friend. She was someone I enjoyed laughing with, talking to in great lengths with, and the list could go on for days. The only downfall was we were at different points in our lives and it just couldn't work. I bring this up not because I'm trying to find her or someone like her. I am a much different person than I was twenty years ago. It's the connection that she and I had I am in search of. I miss the bond that two people can have and share.***** I believe in first impressions and a physical spark should be there. Not to be rude but I am a man and we tend to lean towards physical looks. So please have a current picture of yourself. I'm a fun loving guy who has a heart of gold. I continuously put others before me and would help anyone in need. I'm a strong believer in karma and always try to pay forward. I believe in god but not in organized religion. I've experienced a lot of things in my life. Some good and some bad. I spent several years in the Navy and have traveled throughout the world. I still travel for work and don't spend a lot of time sitting at home. I don't have any children of my own. I was never in a situation to be able to have them and regret at not trying harder to have them in my life. I realize at my age most women have children. I'm perfectly fine with this. I love my nieces and nephews to death. They live out of state and I miss them dearly. I also love my mom and stepdad. My mom is my world. If she wasn't in my life, I'd be lost. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a mamas boy and I make my own decisions and live my life. When I meet my ideal partner in life I give it my all. You will have 100% of my devotion. I will protect and provide in every way possible. I'm a good listener but bare in mind I am a man, I will want to fix whatever problem is bothering you. It's what a man does. There are three things I look for in a woman. Support, loyalty and the cookie. Those three things are what make us tick. If I can't have those, you won't have me long. Support and loyalty make me want to do the things I want to do for you. I understand the cookie has to wait. If you didn't hold out, I'd probably move on anyways. However, it's not something to use as a tool to get me to do something you want done. I will be defiant and move on. For me, it's showing each other how much we love each other and not to be played with. With that being said, I enjoy doing all kinds of activities. I'm a huge outdoor person. Hunting and fishing are my pastimes. I love watching most sports. However, some of them have to be live events. I just can't watch baseball on tv. I'll be asleep by the third inning. I love trying new restaurants and new types of food. I've tried just about everything under the sun. My list of things I'll try are limitless. You only live once.

I have Dogs
I have a German short hair pointer that's still a puppy and he is my child. And yes, he comes first .
I like going to the strand because it's close to the ocean. I find myself hanging out with friends at Twin Peaks. I also love going out to have sushi.
I truly enjoy spending time with my dog George. My favorite place to eat out is any sushi place.
I do a lot of hunting and fishing. Been wade fishing for flounder and have a ball watching the dolphins swim around me. I also enjoy watching football and going to live events.
My favorite book is "A Prayer for Owen Meany", by John Irving. I'm reading a book from Tom Robbins at the moment.

I love the simplicity of it and then it makes what we think are perfect photographs. I linked to my computer as well and what I love the best is that I can make four wallet sized photos from my older pictures as well as new ones from the camera card. One happy consumer here!
Excellent printer!!! Love it! Easy to use and the ink cartridge does print 150 + photos. Well worth the money!!!!
I bought it strictly because Consumer Reports liked it, and I found it very easy to set up for memory cards and for computer photos. The instructions only mentioned earlier computers of the model I own, and my email to epson support asking if mine was compatible was answered in less than a day.
It's amazing! Love the quality, speed, ease of use. I find I enjoy it most hooked up to my Mac. I love working directly from it to the printer, so I can choose, print, work on more in Photoshop and print more. My workflow is non-stop now. As a scrapbooker, this is the ultimate tool to take to crops! It's perfect for parties too, as you can pop in flash cards and print on the spot! I'm very happy with it, you will always have the exact about of ink/paper as it is all pre-measured/packaged together. Very pleased, and highly recommend!
I am an event planner and I purchased this printer to use on site at an event where I took a photo of the guests with the host as they came in. My goal was to then print the photos, put them in a paper frame, then have the photos available for them to take home at the end of the night. The description says that it only takes 37 seconds to print per photo but what they don't tell you is there is significant lag time between each print. It took me four hours to print 192 photos, not the two hours I'd been anticipating. The printer is slick and I love it - even the professional photographer at the event was impressed. But if you're expecting your prints to only take 37 seconds from start to finish before the next one starts printing, be aware it will take you double the time you think. Otherwise, it's perfect and I would recommend it.

The largest liquid-mirror telescope on Earth is the Large Zenith Telescope in western Canada. With a diameter of six meters (over 9 feet), its kevlar container rotates at 6 rpm to maintain a mercury mirror inside as a nearly perfect paraboloid.
Canada's big LZT is located at a University of British Columbia research park near Vancouver. As a LMT, it ranks among the largest optical telescopes on Earth.And compared to similar sized conventional-mirror instruments, the LZT was inexpensive to construct, thanks in part, to cannibalized parts from a defunct U.S. telescope.
"The Large Zenith Telescope project began in 1994, as a collaboration between scientists at UBC, Laval University and the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris," according to Dr. Paul Hickson, LZT'sdirector . "The principal scientific goals of the project are to measure spectral energy distributions and redshifts of over 100,000 galaxies and quasars, and to detect distant supernovae. These observations will allow us to study cosmology, the large-scale structure of the universe, and the evolution of galaxies."
Lou Varricchio, M.Sc., was a senior science writer at the NASAAmes Research Center in California. He is currently a member of the NASA-JPLSolar System Ambassador program in Vermont. He received the U.S. Civil Air Patrol's Maj. Gen. Chuck Yeager Aerospace Education Achievement Award.
