Did you know? China is planting a belt of trees to protect land from the expanding Gobi Desert. This Great Green Wall is projected to extend some 4,480 kilometers (2,800 miles), stretching from outer Beijing through Inner Mongolia (Nei Monggol). Unfortunately, recent pressures to expand food production appear to have slowed this tree planting initiative.

In an interview from 1988, Elfriede Jelinek stated: "The project I am currently working on is an attempt to find an aesthetic method to express the obscene, to express pornography" (Interview with Elfriede Jelinek by Gabriele Presber, Die Kunst ist weiblich, Munich: Droemer Knaur, 1988, p. 108). These words became the descriptor for her next novel, with critics and readers alike anxiously awaiting publication of a work hyped in the press as a pornographic novel told from a woman's perspective. Upon publication of the novel titled Lust [Lust] in 1989, these expectations vaulted the text to the top of the German best-seller list, where it remained for …

He was very professional, friendly, and charismatic- he's very easy to get along with. Great guy!
More importantly, he's great as his job. It has been 2 1/2 years since my accident, two surgeries, and 4 months of no weight on my injured ankle, but I have my life back. I can ride, run, wakeboard, snowboard, you name it. With his help, we were able to prove the other doctors wrong.
I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. "

Photoshop CS4 for Photographers is an essential course for any digital photographer who wants to master the software's vast array of image enhancement techniques. Professional photographer and instructor Chris Orwig uses his own compelling images to demonstrate how the power of Photoshop can make photographers more passionate about their work. He covers many aspects of the application, such as working with RAW images, using curves and levels, making images snap, and enhancing bland photographs by converting them to black and white. Exercise files accompany this course.
In this movie, I want to talk about how we can organize our Layers. In order to do that, we are going to working on two files. organize.psd, press Command on the Mac/Ctrl on the PC, click on the_daily_sojourn_2.psd as well. Then press Command+O on a Mac/Ctrl+O on a PC to open up both of those files. Now the first file that we are going to work on is titled organize.psd. So we will click in that Tab and then press F to go to Full Screen View mode, Spacebar to reposition that particular document or this collage. Now one of the things that I noticed here is I have a few layers that I haven't used. We can see those layers here. Well, how can I get rid of them? Well, I can click on the topmost layer and then press Command on the Mac or Ctrl on the PC and click in all of those layers and click and drag those to the Trash Can.
All right, those are now gone. The next thing that I want to do that is rename these layers and I'll do that from the bottom up. I'm going to double click in the Layer name here and type in the word, rain. I can also click on the Layer and right-click and choose the Layer Properties. Now here is where I can rename this one as well and I'll call this one, music. Next thing I want to do is rename the layer above that, here we have this lantern, so I'll double click there and name this one lantern and then I'll name this one combine because that's the combination of the lantern and the music and I didn't quite finish that off, there we go. Lantern, perfect and then the next layer, I'll call this one chess because there is a piece of a chess puzzle there. You can see that kind of blended on the top collage and then the second to top layer, bridge, and then mph, which are the initials of the person who is in that photograph.
Now because this is a collage and because I have different types of information, I want to organize this even further. So what I'm going do is navigate down to the rain layer, right click and choose Layer Properties. Now you may have noticed this Color option. Now here what I can do is choose a color, in this case I'll choose red and I'll choose red because this is a background element.
Now music and lantern are background elements as well. So I'll go ahead and right-click and choose Properties and then Red, click OK and then lantern as well, right-click and choose Properties and then label that one Red as well. Now because it's a combination layer I'm going to go ahead and give that a new color. Right-click Layer Properties. This time I'll choose Orange. All right, now I can go through the rest of my layers and give them this color. Now does this color change anything and regards to the Layer Properties or the pixels? No, not at all. It's simply an organizational tool. All right, well, now that we have learned a few things about renaming, also about labeling our layers, let's go ahead and navigate to that other document. We can do that by pressing Ctrl+Tab or by navigating to the Window pulldown menu and choosing the _daily_sojourn. Press the Spacebar to reposition this image. Now at this particular file, you will nice that I have again, a number of different layers. Now there are different types of layers. Now what I want to do here is rather than rename them, they have already been renamed, I want to organize them into what's called groups and I want to show you a couple of different ways you can do that. The best way is this: you click in the layer camera 4, hold down the Shift key, click in the layer camera 1 and then press Command+G for Group or Ctrl+G for Group. So Command+G on a Mac or Ctrl+G for a PC. That then takes all of those layers, puts them into a group and collapses that group and I'm going to go ahead and name this group, cameras.
Well, next I have this wood layer, that's kind of by itself, so I'll leave that there. I then want to add these Type layers to a group and let's say I forgot the Group shortcut. Well, no big deal, simply click on the Group icon. You can find it at the bottom of the Layers palette and we will name this group, type, then I'll click in one of the type layers, hold down the Shift key, click in another and I'll click and drag those type layers into this folder. I'll then collapse the group folder by clicking on the triangle icon. So far, so good, one more group, we will click in wood, hold down the Shift key, click in the topmost layer. This time, use your shortcut Command+G on a Mac, Ctrl+G on a PC and we will call this one finishing for finishing touches and now I have a pretty organized Layers palette. Now one of the reasons why organizing your Layers palette is helpful is because now if I need to go down and work on those cameras layers, I can turn those on and off and say, yeah, okay here they are, there is one of them, here is another one and I can go through those layers and then begin to modify what I did there. And all that we are talking about here is how can we organize layers. So if we save and close it and then come back to it, we can actually understand what we did and so that we can get to the Layers that we want to work on, pretty quickly.

Rolling FreedomYou sit there watching everything we do, and it never changes how you stand tall and nobel.
It's almost as if you're the caring mother. Noticing that the child has made a mistake, but you don't scold, you forgive.
You look out over the earth that we all inhabit. You let us roam your vast expanses, and sit under the trees you produce. You let us have adventures, and let us experience everything.
I'm sorry that we destroy you to find what you hide deep beneath, and to make travel a shorter distance.
But for letting us gaze upon your beauty is something I will forever thank you. Thank you for being beautiful.
Boy Meets World"Life is tough, get a helmet."
That's what they always said to me.
But in this moment life is too much
So I'll end this drawn out misery.
It's not as if I will be missed.
I'm on thing you could all do without.
I however will miss you all.
And maybe he'll tell me what it was all about.
If there were any purpose to my life
I'd have fulfilled it by now, right?
Relieving all of you of this high school crap!
That's what it's been about and it ends tonight.
I didn't min hearing about it
From time to time it was alright.
But endlessly seeking my unwarranted advice
Why do you all find me every night?
I don't blame you, those who took my help.
I wanted to give it for a long time.
It was those who hurt me far too much
By using me, getting my help when you really needed it, when the one who you chose left you behind. I was there for you when you needed me, and chances are I will be there next time. But know this: you chose the one you did, and now the option I gave you so many times, the one that
Tried And Fell ShortI've been working so hard just to do what makes me happy.
Then it doesn't make me happy at all.
It seems like I should give it up, make a new path for myself.
But all the work I've put in should not go to waste.
It's not that I'm ungrateful for all the help I've had.
It's that I'm ungrateful for the result that I put forth.
I'm not worth the time to better my preformance.
I'm worth the time to be told to find something better to preform.
I've been trying my best in this season past
And nothing to great has been shown.
And the moemories of this season will last.
And I hope that I will have grown.
Now I'm not giving up. I'll see this to the end.
Maybe next year I'll try something new.
I've had a good time and I thank you all.
I'm sad that we have to stop so unreasonably soon.
Just So You KnowI gave you my heart my soul my life,
You just hand it back and say "it isn't right."
I told you "I love you" but it wasn't enough,
we talk about everything even the little stuff.
You know what I want, just can't apply it to you.
I have no idea, no hint, no whisper what to do.
I redefined my love, and to you I never lie,
I just think that to be without you...I'll die.
I'll explain what you need to know whenever you ask.
I know you'll understand once we let the thought bask.
The only thing left to let you know,
Is that you give my heart the warmest glow.
This isn't a poem of love and regret,
But of the joy that we ever met.
It may not come across too clearly.
But what have I ever said that did?
The Romance of Memory.You know how I feel, it radiates from me.
It shines from my face, hands and every portion you see.
You and I have taken the first step.
We're here together, glad we met.
Let's stay on course, clear and true.
I'm not gonna leave, I'm gonna be here for you.
You take your space, you take your good time.
As long as I'm yours, and you are mine.
I'm here whenever you want.
If you just want a quick jaunt.
Now stand real close, don't turn your head.
And tell me if you like what I've said.

A very good homeopathic medicine for skin problems. Have used this quite awhile, and usually get good results. Ed Brown

Opening in 1958, "Gigi" won nine Oscars, including best picture. Opening in 1973, a stage adaptation - using the same enchanting songs (and four new ones) by Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe - closed after 103 performances.
I didn't see the Broadway production, so I can't tell you what went wrong. But since I have seen the current production of "Gigi" being directed by Dale Gutzman at Off the Wall Theatre, I can state with certainty that Broadway ought to give this chestnut another look. »Read Full Article(2)

Characterization of 5-Hydroxytryptamine-Evoked Isometric Contractile Responses in Aortic Vascular Smooth Muscle in Thyropathological Rats
Edgington, Nicholas P.
MetadataShow full item record
SubjectRats; Vascular smooth muscle; Serotonin
The problem, in the past, research on these sequellae of thyropathology has utilized a variety of animal models. Recently, vascular smooth muscle has increasingly been used as an effective bioassay to assess physiological function of hormones and ligands. While general effects of thyroid status are well documented, specific thyropathologic-induced changes in 5-hydroxytryptamine (serotonergic; 5-HT) receptor function mediating contraction/dilation in rat aorta have not been completely characterized. Procedure. Aortic rings from hyperthyroid (TRX),hypothyroid (PTU), and euthyroid control (CON) rats were mounted in climate controlled tissue baths and subjected to isometric contraction experiments. The endothelium was removed from some rings (denuded) while others were left intact. All rings were initially contracted with a single dose of 55 mM KCl and then relaxed to normal potassium while concomitantly measuring the time course of this relaxation. All rings were subsequently subjected to dose/response experiments with 5-HT, either in the presence or absence of ketanserin (5-HT2 antagonist) and ICS 205-930(5-UT3 antagonist). Flndings. 5-HT generated a nonsignificant trend toward increased contractile tension in TRX rats, but a significant reduction in contractile tension in rings from PTU rats. These differences were eliminated in the denuded preparations with PTU and control tensions increasing back to TRX levels. There were no differences in sensitivity to 5-HT in the intact preparations in the three thyroid groups, but an increased sensitivity was observed in the TRX denuded preparation. Ketanserin was found to completely antagonize the 5-HT2 receptor-mediated contraction. High concentrations of 5-HT in the presence of high concentrations of ICS 205-930, generated significantly attenuated contractile tension in rings from TRX rats. Conclusions. The elimination of a significant difference in the PTU and CON treatment groups in the denuded tissue as compared to the intact tissue, suggests an enhanced 5-HT-mediated release of endothelial derived relaxing factor (EDRP) in PTU rats and reduced release in TRX rats. An incre ase in sensitivity in the denuded tissues, but not in the intact tissues, suggests an enhanced responsiveness of a 5-HT receptor subtype subserving contraction. The significant effect of micromolar concentrations of ICS 205-930 suggests that an increased contractile response in the TRX group, in light of the apparent lack of 5-HT3 sites in this tissue, may be mediated, in part, by a novel serotonergic receptor mediating contraction. Alternatively, this effect may reflect activity of the ligand at 5-HT1 or 5-HT2 receptors differentially sensitized by thyropathology. These data suggest that thyropathological alterations in 5-HT1 or 5-HT2 receptor subtype-mediated responses occur in rat thoracic aorta.

A friend of mine boards horses at her place here in Michigan. Is there a form online we can use to give her 30 days to remove her horse? The owner is a minor so the 30 day notice would have to go to her parents correct?
The minor who is also pretty much a total does not listen to advice and is more or less going to get hurt by this horse. More than once and more than one person has seen the horse drag her around. He is not the most stable horse and we consider him unsafe. He (a gelding) is also a fence wrecker and has tried to mount a mare or two.
Anyone have some suggestion as to websites we can copy an eviction notice? Or does someone have one they are will to share with me?

While it's true Chicago is traditionally known for its deep-dish pizza, I'm going to let you in on a little secret: this city makes a mean Neapolitan-style. Especially at Spacca Napoli.
Back in the days when we were trying every local bakery, my brother and I were also on a months-long quest to find the best pizza in Chicago, having gotten the idea from Chicago Magazine, which did a write-up on all the Neapolitan-style pizzerias in and around the city.
What I didn't expect from this experiment, as a girl who has been known to crave frozen Tombstones from the grocery store, was that it would revolutionize the way I felt about pizza—not that I would stop liking the cheap kinds on lazy weeknights, but that, after having the smoky, thinner style considered a trademark in Italy, I would love this other kind much more.
Here's how it's made: A simple, thin round of dough is topped and slid into a hot, hot stone oven (we're talking over 900 degrees Fahrenheit) and baked for less than two minutes over an oak-wood fire. When it emerges, the result is crispy, but not like a cracker—more chewy and tender, with a swollen lip around the edges and a wet, cheesy center. If done right, the pizza will have faint hints of char from the fast heat and punches of fragrance from the tomatoes. At Spacca Napoli in Chicago's Ravenswood neighborhood, a pizzeria owned by Jonathan Goldsmith, pizzas are baked in an oven actually made in Naples, Italy, which cooks at 1200 (!) degrees Fahrenheit, amidst light golden walls with black and white photographs.
You know, the law of averages says the more times you go to a restaurant, the greater your chances of having a bad experience. Yet, for me, the opposite has been true. Every visit gets better, from the winter night last February, when the restaurant seemed packed, but we were seated in five minutes, to the summer when we took our friend Sonja, my college roommate who was coming through town for a few days, and we sat and talked, leisurely, on a slow afternoon.
I've been putting off posting about this place because, honestly, I didn't think I could write about it without over-gushing.
However. After a recent Saturday when we capped off pizzas with risotto gelato, a sweet, creamy base with hints of vanilla and tiny bits of chewy risotto mixed throughout, the sound of the Andrews Sisters and Ella Fitzgerald in the background, I realized it was finally time. I couldn't keep this to myself any longer.
And, throwing caution to the wind, I'll just tell you this: I love this restaurant. I love the food, the service, the way it's always busy at nights but always able to seat me. It is the #1 place I take friends. And if I could find a job down the street, I would move there, in a heartbeat, just to walk by its orange-colored exterior, inhaling its fresh, yeasty dough, looking in at its charming dining area, ready for another slice.

I totally agree with you, in fact I was planning on doing a post on Spacca Napoli my self.
I love their authentic pizza, have been their many times, this is my daughters neighborhood. Lucky her! Great blog!
Ahhh, that pizza looks amazing…but more amazing is that gelato!
You have made me want to go to Chicago
The pizza sounded good, but the gelato REALLY is making me hungry over here!!
OMG. I haven't had Neapolitan-style pizza in SO long. (Since I was in Italy, actually, is the last time.) This looks AND sounds fantastic!
I used to live on Montrose and Clark which is only a few blocks from here. Sadly, I only went once but it was fantastic.
I need to go back.
[PS I just found your blog from the Kitchen Sink. Glad to find another Chicagoan!]
Pingback: this life we have | food loves writing
Is the risotto gelato a regular ietm on the menu? I used to eat it every day one summer in Rome but have never been able to find it anywhere else in the world.
Scott, I'm pretty sure it was a special, but it wouldn't hurt to contact Spacca Napoli and inquire! They definitely know what they're doing!

Bobby Jindal on Education
Republican Governor; previously Representative (LA-1)
That's why our top priority this legislative session must be making sure we have the resources to prepare our students and train them for the jobs of the future.
In order to help meet this goal, our budget for next year will increase total higher education funding by over $141 million. This funding includes a new higher education workforce incentive initiative of $40 million that will better prepare Louisiana students to compete in the new global economy.
I think it is cynical, immoral, and hypocritical for the attorney general and the president to deny these children the same choices and chances they would want for their own children.
It's especially cynical to try to use those same rules designed to protect these children to trap them in failing schools. But I've got a message for Eric Holder: We're going to fight them every step of the way to defend these children's rights.
In 2010, we passed a value-added teacher evaluation bill geared toward teaching and student achievement. It brings accountability to schools and actually measures teachers and classrooms based on results. This legislation assesses teachers fairly, based on a student's true progress during the course of a year. These data will help to identify the good teachers to reward them.
Who in their right mind would oppose giving parents such a choice? The education establishment, of course--I was charged with attacking the public schools.
The key to success in charter schools is getting parents and the community involved, so we've tried to make parental involvement as easy as possible. We've also empowered teachers with a new law allowing a traditional school to become a charter school by a simple faculty vote
Schools choice takes many forms--vouchers, tax credits, charters, student scholarships, and transfers to better public schools are a few. I favor whatever works, depending on the needs of the community. The successful methods we're using in New Orleans--charter schools and scholarship programs--could serve as a model for other cities looking to secure a good education for their poorest, most vulnerable kids. I'm for what works.
Communities with failing education systems nationwide need to act fast to expand school choice. Telling parents to wait to the failing school in their neighborhood to improve on its own is offensive and absurd.
Almost 10,000 over-average-age middle school students opt out of high school and instead enroll into a pre-GED OPTIONS program each year...Yet only 6% of them end up getting a GED. This is not acceptable.
Next session, we will work to close these gaps in the system that too many of our children are slipping through by giving students multiple pathways to success and keeping them engaged in their education--which we all know is the ticket to their future.
Our initiatives will tie academic remediation and GED completion to workforce training opportunities so students complete their program with a useful skill that can directly help them get a job.
Proponents support voting YES because:
I believe that our Pledge of Allegiance with its use of the phrase "under God" is entirely consistent with our Nation's cultural and historic traditions. I also believe that the Court holding that use of this phrase is unconstitutional is wrong. But this court-stripping bill is not necessary. This legislation would bar a Federal court, including the Supreme Court, from reviewing any claim that challenges the recitation of the Pledge on first amendment grounds.
If we are a Nation of laws, we must be committed to allowing courts to decide what the law is. This bill is unnecessary and probably unconstitutional. It would contradict the principle of Marbury v. Madison, intrude on the principles of separation of powers, and degrade our independent Federal judiciary.
Opponents support voting NO because:
I was disappointed 4 years ago when two judges of the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that our Pledge, our statement of shared national values, was somehow unconstitutional. I do not take legislation that removes an issue from the jurisdiction of this court system lightly. This legislation is appropriate, however, because of the egregious conduct of the courts in dealing with the Pledge of Allegiance.
By striking "under God" from the Pledge, the Court has shown contempt for the Congress which approved the language, and, more importantly, shows a complete disregard for the millions of Americans who proudly recite the Pledge as a statement of our shared national values and aspirations. No one is required to recite the Pledge if they disagree with its message.

Keep it about the sport guy's huh?
Ok... here's the deal...
This thread and the racing forum in general to highlight and discuss topic's to do with rally/off road-desert racing and other motorsport in general.
If you don't agree with a certain policy or topic; well healthy debate - or even heated discussion for that matter - has never really been "overly moderated" by any of the fair and just mod's that have presided here in RACING forum over the years. That is a forum policy/trend that I for one think is admirable and hope continues.
BUT there is a line. Personal disagreements and/or vendettas from here or imported from elsewhere, some other place DO NOT BELONG at ADVRider.com
...and that's not just something that I, or any of the other mod's have dreamed up recently... it is a fundamental rule implemented from guy that own's the place. So please, let's all keep that in mind - we are ALL guest's here.
There is enough space (both in the real world AND here on ADVRider.co) for all types off off road motorsport to share; whether it is DAKAR and Rallies that float your boat, Baja/SCORE Racing, GNCC, Enduro MX and Supercross... or just plain n00bling along in your favourite riding spot just for the pure pleasure of it... THAT's why it is called Adventure Rider.
Keep politics, personal grudges and/or agenda's out of here and take them up in real space if necessary, and let the RACING forum continue to be a place to share and inform each other about the sport that unites us.

29 year old woman | Raleigh, NC, USA | Seeking men 28-34 within 50 miles
Sarcastic, outgoing, energetic
Well, i just lost all my text, so let me attempt to re-write this.... I am not really sure how good I am with writing about myself but lets give this a shot. I am a very outspoken person and always say what is on my mind, sometimes this offends people but I try not to. On the other hand I am also very caring and would give anything for those that I am close to. I never really understood the whole "gold digger" thing. I enjoy being independent and able to pay my own bills, and never want the feeling of being financially dependent on someone else. I often feel that chivalry is dead or if it does exists ends after the first couple months of dating. I don't really agree with the whole concept of men paying for all dates. I feel that in a relationship women should have their share of contributions and enjoy paying for dates. I cannot stand high maintenance people. If you were to call me on a Saturday morning wanting to grab breakfast I could be out of bed and ready to go in 10 minutes. I feel that most people my age lives are consumed with going downtown every weekend and I am past that stage. I can handle my share of a night out but rather it be less frequent. Faith is very important to me and plays a major role in my life but I do not necessarily agree with many of the confines of religion. I am a Christian and make an effort to attend church on a regular basis. I am not really majorly into sports and could care less in dating someone who's life is consumed by sports. I will follow Duke basketball but it is not an avid obsession. I would rather spend my time on adventures and outdoors than following football and basketball. I truly expect to receive what I give in a relationship. Nothing should ever be one sided and if someone is putting in way more effort than the other, things need to be evaluated. Laughter and trust is very important to me. I feel like in this day and time, there are very few trust worthy people left. I can be very energetic and have a short attention span at times and would like someone to be accepting of that. (thanks to my Mom for the ADHD) FRAT BOYS NEED NOT APPLY :) Well that was Awkward. Let me know if you have any questions.

Silvio Berlusconi's increasingly erratic behavior may bring about his downfall. But in a bitterly divided Italy, the most likely successor does not look appetizing.
Silvio Berlusconi's latest sexual escapade is the talk of Italy, and now the world. Maybe we should be paying closer attention to evidence of far more sinister hookups.
Silvio Berlusconi's meeting with Barack Obama today comes at a time when Italy's reckless ruler's grip on power may be slipping.
Once upon a time, this Catholic country prided itself that Italians were brava gente, good people and tolerant. No more.
Name-calling, spitting, politicians fainting in the Senate chamber and a Catholic drive to "convert the Jews"--this is Italian politics.
Recent elections see Italy divided as it has not been since 1948, but
Romano Prodi has reason to be confident that his center-left coalition
will prevail.
Nineteen sixty-eight came early to Italy--it began with student protests at the University of Trento in 1967--and lasted longer, arguably, than anywhere else.

text: The Chaos War wiki last edited by bradmonje on 06/02/13 07:13AM View full history Plot SummaryIt would seem the return of the formerly believed-to-be-dead Hercules would herald joy for the world, but instead he brings grave warning to the heroes of the world. Brought back by the Prince of Power; Amadeus Cho, Hercules, with Thor and Cho by his side, lead an army of heroes to face the looming multiversal threat of the Chaos King who had and was attacking, killing and consuming the power of all the gods and god-like beings from all pantheons and dimensions across the multiverse in an effort to consume and absorb the entirety of the multiverse to return it to it's original state; pure chaos. When Hercules lead the heroes for their initial attack on him, the Chaos King incapacitated the heroes and all the citizens of the world by using Nightmare's dreampower, leaving no one but gods and other god-like beings to oppose him. Hercules and Thor, with the help of Amadeus Cho, brought together a new incarnation of Herc's former team, the God Squad to defend reality and devise a way to stop the Chaos King.The Chaos King solidified his hold on the universe with more gods of the different pantheons as they fall to his power. Soon after gaining control of all the various realms/aspects fo the underworld, he released the lost souls of countless dead people including the dead members of Alpha Flight, Avengers, and the X-men. With the influence of death removed from the universe, dead heroes and villains alike return to the land of the living, with many choosing to fight either for or against the Chaos King. In the end, it all comes back to the Chaos King as he now fights the only one left to stand in his way; the new, All-Father Hercules. The two adversaries battle savagely on a scale that dwarfs planets. With space and time crumbling as there fight rages, Amadeus instructs Hercules to punch the Chaos King into a pocket universe (the Continuum) where he is now alone as the be-all, end-all which made him believe he had won. The multiverse, however, had been laid waste by the Chaos King's war upon it and was now in shambles. Realizing this, Hercules, in what would be his last act as the all-powerful God of Gods, used his omnipotence to repair and restore the multiverse to it's proper state. Unfortunately, the act of doing this was so incredibley difficult it required every bit of godly power and might he possessed, leaving him fully and completely mortal afterward.Full PlotAfter coming back from his apparent death and becoming All-Father, Hercules senses a terrible evil, the Chaos King, approaching the Earth. Raising back to his old power of Anti-Eternity, Amatsu Mikaboshi has killed many alien pantheons, including Old Gods of Zenn-La and Shi'Ar, as well as Impossible Man and Nightmare, Lord of Dreams. When Hercules tries to unite Earth's heroes against him, Chaos King uses Nightmare's powers to put every mortal on Earth into a coma.While few remaining heroes, Hercules, Thor and Amadeus Cho, are dealing with chaos and gathering new forces against him, Chaos King invades afterlife, killing, absorbing and enslaving multiple lords of Hell, including Lucifer and Hela, and many of the dead, like Zeus and Ares as well, making Mistress Death herself flee away from him.After being turned down by Eternity, who explains connection between him and Chaos King that prevents them from directly fighting each other, Hercules and Cho manage to gather a new God Squad, which now includes them, Thor, Sersi, Venus, Daimon Hellstorm, Galactus, and Silver Surfer. Right in time to face Chaos King's assault on Earth.Chaos King tricks Hercules into leading him to the dimension where all gods gather, from which he can attack and destroy all their realms, growing larger and stronger with every conquest. Amadeus Cho, to his terror, finds out he cannot think of any way to defeat him, before he and Hercules are lost in his very being.The heroes get separated, and Thor faces the monstrous Glory, getting sent back to Earth as Donald Blake, without any memories. He then encounters Becca Steinhardt, a mortal who is still awake for some reason. Surfer, Hellstorm, Sersi and Venus ally themselves with Kami and Panther God of Wakanda to find a way to imprison Mikaboshi in Yomi, where he was trapped once before, only to find out Kami has been already enslaved by him and it was all a set-up.Meanwhile, on Earth, the dead walk again. Great Beasts ally themselves with their mortal enemies, Alpha Flight – Sasquatch, Snowbird and their dead teammates, only to get stabbed in the back once the Flight finds out they wanted to take advantage of the situation and conquer the Earth. They are then killed by Chaos King.Dead members of the Avengers face Grim Reaper, who has sworn loyalty to Chaos King for the promise that he may personally destroy the soul of every Avenger, dead or alive. Dead X-Men faces another of his servants, Raven God, who mission is to slay the eldest of Earth's gods.Incredible Hulks, who weren't on Earth when all it's inhabitants fell asleep, find themselves allied with dead friends - Doc Samson, Glenn Talbot, Jarella and Hiroim - and racing against Chaos King's servants – Abomination and Zom – to find Rick Jones' wife, Marlo, who's carrying part of Death inside her – if Chaos King will gets her, he will use it to kill Death and destroy every soul on Earth.Cho, Hercules and Galactus join the remaining gods in last enclave. Cho and Galactus go to Earth to transport all survivors into Continuum – an artificial Universe which Chaos King doesn't know about - but are attacked by his servants. Thor regains his memories, defeats Glory and solves Becca's mystery, to come back into the fight. Hercules faces Athena, who now serves Chaos King. When Chaos King absorbs the Earth, killing goddess Gaea, she uses her last power to make Hercules evolve and achieve true potential of his new powers. All-Father Hercules and Chaos King faces one another in the last, final battle, with the entirety of creation at stake. In final confrontation combined forces of heroes manages to seal Chaos King inside Continuum, where he can become what he once was without destroying real Universe, which already suffered critical damage.Athena reveals that it was her plan from the beginning as now everything may be reborn from a scratch, better than before and with Hercules as supreme god ruling over it. Hercules rejects that vision and uses all of his power to restore the Universe to the condition it was before Chaos King started his attack. He also manages to bring back to life Zeus, Hera and all the members of Alpha Flight but he pays a heavy price, losing all his powers and becoming mortal man.Soon after this event, Bruce Banner confronted Hercules and demanded that he fix the Hulks' problems as a reward for what they had done during the Chaos War. When Hercules revealed that he no longer possessed the All-Father's powers, Banner turned into the Hulk, stormed Olympus and challenged Zeus to a battle. The Hulk was defeated and chained to the mountain, where vultures devoured his body for days. Hercules and the rest of the Hulk family saved him. Zeus decided that Hulk had learned to respect him and he wouldn't pursue him any longer - such an auto-destructive persona as him will bring the best punishment upon himself.Collected EditionsChaos WarChaos War: AvengersChaos War: Incredible HulksChaos War: X-MenNon-U.S. EditionsMarvel Crossover #71Marvel Crossover #72Marvel Crossover #73The Incredible Hulks #4The Incredible Hulks #5The Mighty World of Marvel #35The Mighty World of Marvel #36The Mighty World of Marvel #37The Mighty World of Marvel #38

Why and how to be proactive about data privacy (don't ignore this!)
Quick Take: In the early days of smart metering, we saw several utilities take a top-down approach. "If we impose it, they will put up with it," seemed to be the slogan of the day. Those utilities learned the hard way that they should have proactively invested in customer outreach and education.
There's another problem looming that also demands proactive steps. The energy consumption data collected from smart meters is creating privacy concerns. Utilities that get ahead of the problem - that secure the data and that educate customers - will get the buy-in they need from ratepayers and regulators alike.
Writing in Alcatel Lucent's GridTalk blog, Rebecca Herold puts it this way: "Complacency is not an option. Utilities... need to address privacy issues early, and in an open, objective manner." She goes on to give detailed suggestions based on her role as the Privacy Group Leader for the NIST Smart Grid Interoperability Panel. I've noted a few high points below, but you will want to review the entire article. - By Jesse Berst
New types of data are raising thorny privacy issues. The smart grid's social acceptance depends on utilities securing four sensitive categories:
1. The privacy of personal information - names, addresses, credit cards, etc.
2. The privacy of the person - energy usage details, medical or physical issues, etc.
3. The privacy of personal behavior - when customers are at home, when they are gone, what they are doing while inside, etc.
4. The privacy of personal communications - some smart appliances already post messages to Facebook and Twitter when certain activities occur.
Consumers are rightfully worried that their data may be shared with marketers or with insurance companies or with government agencies.
Utilities should first identify all the privacy risks. Next, they should establish policies and procedures to safeguard the data. Finally, they should implement security technologies and establish best practices.
Herold believes utilities must clarify their policies, stating whether and when they will share data. For instance, if the utility a subcontracted with third-party, it may want to ensure that the third parties not using the data in ways that violate the utility's policies. It's important to publicize data policies not just with customers, but also within the utility itself so all employees understand the rules.
The U. S. Department of Energy is creating guidelines for future legislation and regulations, following the recommendations set forth in NISTIR 7628: Guidelines for Smart Grid Cyber Security Vol. 2, Privacy and the Smart Grid.
Jesse Berst is the founder and Chief Analyst of SGN and Chairman of the Smart Cities Council, an industry coalition.

this is the first game that compete with Crysis [DX10] visually IMO. although it has more Pixxar like graphics (not reallife graphics) i've got to say it looks almost perfect!!
i mean the characters animations & detail , the softshadows & the self-shadows (very high-res shadows .. i couldnt notice too much shadow aliasing) , the bump-maps , the waters (ripples & relections) , the lighting & even the vegetation !! everything seems to blend very nicely. top of all it was running smoothly
i guess teh c3ll is finally showing its true power ?!!
the only take on the graphics was the explosions & the fire effects but thats about it.
summary : as a PC semi-fanboy i feel really threatend by the power of the Uncharted graphics.
& for those who will try to downplay that game my advice : Look first! you'll certainly change your mind.
this has to be the funniest post i have seen entire year
Windows 8 the next big failure, right after Windows ME

This is the Brabus EV12 Black Baron. And those plastic bits over the rear wheels are, we believe, called 'spats'.
Looks like a bouncer in a skirt, eh?
Brabus is used to making things with bonkers power figures (remember the Bullit?) and this is just the latest. Underneath all the spatish mayhem, the EV12 is based on a Mercedes E-Class.
An E-Class with 788bhp… Thanks to that sort of power, it can touch 230mph and keep going until it carves its own orbit through space.
Only ten of these monsters will be produced, yet at £530,000 each, the marketing bods will have to look hard to find two handfuls of people loony enough to buy them.
Will you be one of them? If not, can you think of a more ridiculous bodykit?
