The Food of the Gods is a 1976 science fiction thriller film released by American International Pictures and was written, produced, and directed by Bert I. Gordon.[2]
The Food of the Gods starred Marjoe Gortner of Earthquake, Pamela Franklin, Ralph Meeker, Jon Cypher, John McLiam, and Ida Lupino. This film was loosely based on a portion of the H. G. Wells novel The Food of the Gods and How It Came to Earth.
In spite of the film's success, Michael Medved gave it the Golden Turkey Award for "Worst Rodent Movie Of All Time".
The film reduced Wells' tale to an "Ecology Strikes Back" scenario, common in science fiction movies at the time. The "food" mysteriously bubbles up from the ground on a remote island somewhere in British Columbia. Mr. and Mrs. Skinner (John McLiam and Ida Lupino) consider it a gift from God, and feed it to their chickens, which grow larger than humans as a result. Rats, wasps, and grub worms also consume the substance, and the island becomes infested with giant vermin. One night, a swarm of giant rats kill Mr. Skinner after his car breaks down in the forest.
A professional football player named Morgan (Marjoe Gortner) is on the island for a hunting trip with his buddies when one of them is stung to death by giant wasps. After ferrying his friends back to the mainland, Morgan returns to investigate. Also thrown into the mix are Thomas and Rita (Tom Stovall and Belinda Balaski), an expecting couple; Jack Bensington (Ralph Meeker), the owner of a dog food company, who hopes to market the substance; and Bensington's assistant Lorna (Pamela Franklin), a "lady bacteriologist". After Morgan locates and dynamites the giant wasps' enormous nest, he and the others become trapped in the Skinner's farmhouse, surrounded by giant rats. Mrs. Skinner, Morgan's friend Brian (Jon Cypher), and Bensington are killed by the rats.
Morgan blows up a nearby dam, flooding the area and drowning the rats, whose size and weight renders them unable to swim. However, several of Mrs. Skinner's jars of "F.O.T.G." are swept away, drifting to a mainland farm. The substance is consumed by dairy cows, and in the film's closing scene, schoolchildren are shown unwittingly drinking the tainted milk, implying that they will also experience abnormal growth.

Bert I. Gordon had earlier written, produced, and directed (for Embassy Pictures) Village of the Giants (1965), which was also very loosely based on the book.[3] This movie is the first film in A.I.P.'s H.G. Wells film cycle, which includes The Island of Dr. Moreau, and Empire of the Ants.[4]
The film premiered on 18 June 1976 in the United States.[5] Scream Factory released the film on May 26, 2015 first time on Blu-ray Disc, as double feature with Frogs.[6]
The movie was AIP's most successful release of the year, causing them to make a series of films based on H.G. Wells novels.[7]
In popular culture[edit]
- In the episode "Of Rats and Men" of the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles TV series, a horde of giant mutant rats menace a movie theater running a feature titled "Food of the Vermin – In 3D".
1989 a film entitled Food of the Gods II(if only in name) was made in 1989.[8]

Eliza Fraser
Eliza Anne Fraser was a Scottish woman whose ship was shipwrecked off the coast of Queensland, Australia, on 22 May 1836, and who was captured by Aborigines. Fraser Island is named after her.
She was the wife of Captain James Fraser, master of the Stirling Castle. There were 18 people aboard the ship and a cargo mainly of spirits, which may have been involved in the accident. They struck a reef hundreds of kilometres north of Fraser Island. They then launched two boats, one of which landed at Waddy Point on Fraser Island. It was here that she claimed she was captured by Aborigines; her husband either died from starvation or was killed by an Aborigine because he was unable to carry wood. They were stripped of their clothing.
Eliza was found by John Graham, an escaped convict who had lived for six years with the Aborigines, and is said to have gone naked to get the confidence of the Aborigines. Whether John Graham acted alone in rescuing Eliza is a matter of some conjecture. For many years her rescuer was thought to have been another escaped convict David Bracewell (not Bracefell or Bracefield as is frequently written). Bracewell became the rescuer of legend - a legend enhanced by the equally false tale that Bracewell had led Eliza overland to the outskirts of present-day Brisbane where, rather than, as promised, seeking his pardon in return for his assistance, she threatened to betray him for having taken advantage of her. This story is demonstrably untrue. Official records show with certainty that it was the convict John Graham who walked with her from a corroboree ground on Lake Cootharaba north of present-day Noosa onto the ocean beach near present day Teewah. Here they met the waiting Lieutenant Otter and his small band of soldiers and convict volunteers. They proceeded north along the beach to the main rescue party waiting at Double Island Point from where Eliza was taken by longboat to the Penal Settlement at Moreton Bay.
The Eliza Fraser story was a theme to which painter Sidney Nolan returned over the years. His first Mrs Fraser painting was in 1947 when he visited Fraser Island. The crouching, bedraggled, half-human half-animal form - downcast head obscured by matted hair - is one of his best known images. Over the years Nolan emphasised the Bracefell (as he called Bracewell) betrayal story, and his iconic Mrs Fraser image has become emblematic of what he saw as his betrayal by Sunday Reed.[1]
Eliza later secretly married another sea captain (Captain Alexander Greene) in Sydney and they both returned to England aboard his ship, the Mediterranean Packet. Controversy followed when she appeared before the Lord Mayor of London to request that a charity appeal be set up for her three children as she was left penniless after her husband had died, not mentioning her marriage to Captain Greene or the £400 received in Sydney by a fund set up to help her. Sensationalised accounts of her experience were published in London.
Patrick White wrote a fictionalised account of the incident in the 1976 novel A Fringe of Leaves. Other writers to have written her story include André Brink, Kenneth Cook and Michael Ondaatje. Sidney Nolan painted a wide range of personal interpretations of historical and legendary figures, including Eliza Fraser.
In 1976 a drama film titled "Eliza Fraser" ("The Adventures of Eliza Fraser" was an alternate title) was made about her. Susannah York played the title role, and the film was directed by Tim Burstall. It was the first Australian film with a seven figure budget, costing $1.2 million to make.

You can never make the same mistake twice. The second time you make it, it's no longer a mistake. It's a choice".
It doesn't take a lot for my smile to appear. The littlest things matter most in life, well at least to me they do. I'm driven by the simplest things. Which honestly, I don't know if that comes across as intimidating. My generosity is my weakness. In all reality, I am not really about things benefiting myself. I am a sincere person with a big, HUGE heart. But also I stand for the things that matter most to me, as well as the things that are important. I love FOOD! Oh yes and FOOD! Yes it is true. I am a Fat Girl at heart. And to tell you the truth I really don't care. I take care of myself to cancel out the negative affects. :) I am most proud of myself now, than I have ever been. Just basically because where I am at in life. I love my job, about 99% of the time. I look forward to seeing the people that I work with because honestly, they are my second family. My social life consists of them. And when I do actually get a social life, it is amazing. Basically I am a OR-RN and a Surgical Technologist.. My patients and my surgeons make my day. I wouldn't change it for anything :) On the off days that I usually get, I'm not going to lie..I am such a nerd. I love going to new science centers or museums. I love culture, art and learning about things that aren't so familiar to me. I am a world traveler. I love the architectural aspect of things. Old, gorgeous buildings and the meaning behind each one. If you can't learn to love it or even deal with it, not to be to harsh but I suggest moving on. I giggle all of the time again because of the littlest things. From someone impersonating someone else or the corniest jokes. Even if you think you arent funny I will still laugh. I know right? Pretty bad! I am a simple girl who can be full of surprises. I am an honest nerd on this inside, who has no problem letting that show on the outside. That is probably why I already mentioned that above :) I am that girl who lets her hair down...rolls the windows down and sings in the car. Ill try my hardest to carry a tune but lets face it..no matter how hard I try it wont happen lol Don't judge :) In a Relationship, I am not looking to rush into things. I've learned from that. Honestly, I would appreciate someone who value the small things in life. Someone who can stand up for what they believe in. I'm Not asking to be put first on the list of importance but to just be put on the list is perfect enough for me. And most important...I hope that guy realizes that when you have me...you have me..Don't try to out do others to impress me. Trust me, Ill be far from impressed. But until then, I am living one day at a time and taking things how they come. Basically just going with the flow. I know right? Most overused motto. Sue me :)

"'The Dead' are sort of deformed and mutated or a specific set of characteristics. There are seven of them, and they match the seven parts of the viral life-cycle. Each one fulfills a specific sort of mission, and that's why they have these kinds of ritual poses, which are based on the torments of the damned from Greek mythology. They're drawn out of a classical idea of a cycle of perpetual punishment."

I find many want to make small talk when they see me with the kids out and about, and yet they have no idea how to talk to kids / about kids without bringing school and grades into a conversation. School is such a basic conversation starter. I don't blame them. What else would they ask? About the weather? Most people don't have homeschooling on their radar. Those who ask don't necessarily irk me. But it makes me think about our society in general, where kids are viewed in terms of grades, and how limited their options are.
Just last night, my father asked me what grade my dd was in. My answer went something like this, "Well, she'd be a freshman...no, a sophomore, in high school, but she's taking community college classes so she's earning college credits as well, so..."
When I couldn't come up with a clear answer, he asked, "So when will she graduate?" and I said, "Do you mean college or high school?" He changed the subject after that.
Even after all these years, it's hard for me to explain how meaningless the "what grade is she in" question is!

Sometimes I'll say "fifth, but we don't really do grades, because we homeschool" because that feels a little more honest than just "fifth." But I've got no problem with just saying "fifth" if the question was nothing more than a fleeting social nicety.

Or more accurately I say "Well we homeschool, so I have to think about it...uhh...3rd, I guess."
I'm with you! I used to try and explain that we didn't use grade levels but I'd get a lot of blank stares, so then I decided to just answer according to what grade they'd be in if they were in school. I always had to stop and do the math to figure out what that grade was, because I'd never remember.

My prob is when asked I can't even remember right away what "grade" they would be in and then the person looks at me like I am loony. LOL!!!
Or if I manage to remember, the next questions don't get any better. "What school does he go to?" But most of the time the conversation cuts off b/c eventually I say "we homeschool" and that's the end!
Next time, I'll just not even answer and just ask them "WHat grade is YOUR kids in"?lol

one day i happened to mention to my daughter that she was at different grade levels for different subjects and she seemed happy and relieved by that. so sometimes we say that. of course that would lead us to explain that we are hs, etc.
or if it really is just small talk we might just say hs and/or the grade corresponding to her age.
Homeschooling, Homesteading Mama to DD ('02) and DS ('04)
I'm not dissing those who do give a grade number, just that it never dawned on me that others were doing this, as many of you obviously are.
Of course, I'm also known to say "My kids don't go to school" instead of "We homeschool" which somehow seems to describe our lives better. I guess what I really mean is that school just isn't relevant/important/a reference point for us--and that we definitely aren't doing school at home. But that statement does tend to shock people!
In our new town its smaller and the christian and secular folks mingle more often. I've found myself talking to homeschooling mums who are quoting grade levels, and that really throws me off. For example, I asked one mum if she was here for the homeschool swimming lessons and she replies "yes, my daughter just started kindergarten and my daughter [who I couldn't see] is in grade 2". Huh? lol...I thought maybe she was there with a school group and got confused!
Also, sometimes people have their kids working on curricula at a different grade level than the grade their kids would be in age-wise, so I'd get confused because the kid the mom is tagging as a 3rd grader looks around 6... and I'm thinking she must be a really young-looking 8 year old... but no, she's 6.
As far as the original question, it sort of varied over time. During our "in-your-face" phase we might have said "We don't do school" or "We don't do grades", or Rain used to tell people that grades are for meat and eggs, not people. That was her "I'm an autodidact" phase, too.
Usually, though, we stuck with "We homeschool, but she just turned 10" or however old she was. Now we say that she's homeschooled but this would be her senior year in high school, because Rain actually is doing a lot of the same stuff that a lot of schooled high school seniors are doing as far as college apps, so it's a but more relevant.

DS (6) played on a "kindergarten" soccer team this year because his best friends were on that team. I mentioned that he was in first grade to the team coordinator and he made a big deal about telling me not to tell any of the other parents that he was actually a first-grader. After I walked away, I realized I should have told him that we homeschool, so I could just hold him back for six weeks until soccer was over, THEN let him be a first-grader.

me too! and I've only been asked by homeschoolers. what's so important about what grade they are?
My 10 year old gets asked what grade are you in all the time. He goes into this big long explanation of how he's halfway through six grade math and expects to start 7th grade at the first of the year, but he's in fifth grade spelling, he studies Zoology for science, early American history...if I let him he'll go through the list and tell them what all he's studying and if there is a corresponding grade level from the publisher he'll let them know what it is. He also likes to let people know that he'll be able to start taking classes at the community college in 4 years. He's much nicer to people when they start asking questions than I am.
I told mine they can be in whatever grade they want. Ds12 usually says 8th. Dd9 usually says 5th. I just nod and agree with them. Heck, if they're around, I often just refer the question over to them. They seem to care at least a little what the answer is, and I can't be bothered to keep track of what label they are using at the time. If it's a friend or something, I'll give them a straight answer though. S/he ranges from about ____ to _____ depending on the subject.

lol you hate it. i love it because i say no grade and their mouth always drops open. what do you mean NO grade. we dont have grades we homeschool.... hehe i am nuts i know
I tell them we homeschool and that C. works at her own pace, but the things she is currently studying would be typical for grades X/Y/Z. Here, people usually just ask how old she is, and when they ask if she's in school yet (she's 6) she explains she's homeschooled. So far, the response has usually been along the lines of "Wow, she seems really smart/well-spoken for a 6 year old" and they don't inquire about grade level (but I sometimes offer that information if they appear to be interested in continuing the conversation).
I'm almost certain I've "converted" at least one mom of young kids to consider child-led learning after she interacted with C. for a while. She (the mom) was VERY curious and asked a lot of questions, none of which seemed in the least bit judgmental... more that she was weighing whether or not she felt homeschooling or unschooling was something she could do herself.
Of course, I also get a kick out of completely blowing away people with my own formal education level. I was unschooled from 8th grade onwards and never went to college, but people, especially medical professionals, tend to assume I have at least a Master's degree. I think it's because I tend to use very precise language and don't adjust my vocabulary downwards when I'm talking to someone I know is highly educated, such as a physician.
Since most people just ask in order to find out the kids' ages, I generally say "She's in Kindergarten." Which I guess is technically true.
But if I'm feeling long-winded and somewhat snarky, I'll say something like "Well, she's doing a third grade phonics workbook, a second-grade math curriculum, exploring astronomy, doing kitchen chemistry, uses her own laptop, plays chess on my iPod, is learning the names and capitals of all 50 states and is learning Spanish." All of which is true too. And it sounds a lot better than "Well, uh, we sleep in and then watch "The Magic School Bus" and uh, we like to go hang out at the Science Center. Oh and she has a puzzle of the United States..." It's all in how you put it.

I love that! I'm going to have to tell my kids about that one. My dd is very conscientious and understands that when people ask her that question - as they often do - they expect a number. She obligingly gives them one. My ds1 though could care less about social norms and expectations. When he had just turned 6, a sales person asked him what grade he was in school and ds1 just said 'I don't go to school."
The salesman looked shocked and asked "Why not?"
Ds1's reply - "I just don't want to."
I hated being asked this as a child because I had to think about it and that took a second....why should I know? I'm in a class of one!
It annoys me too and my kids ARE in school though it is Montessori. Besides the grade some seem to focus on the age/grade.I started my dd with schooling at 6 and my ds at 5. I guess 5 is the norm now because people question why my dd isn't a grade higher.
That doesn't bother me. People are just trying to make small talk and it's their way of asking the kid's age. No big.
I do, however, not like when they start quizzing my kids once they learn that we homeschool. That's not just making small talk and never happens to schooled kids. That's them trying to assess my kids' knowledge so they can judge them for their lack of it or if it's incomplete. That is not nice.

Heh. My kids totally dismiss people that do this. If someone starts to sound like they're quizing, the kids totally shut down. They will answer "I dunno" to anything they're asked, even their own names. I didn't teach them this. They started doing it when they were little, like 2 and 4. lol Dd would be 2yrs old and going on about how she was going to be a marine biologist and blah blah blah about different species (with correct terminology) and someone would ask her a math question and suddenly "I dunno". They try to switch back to marine biology, and she says she wants to be a "boat" and totally glazes over. (ok, difficult to raise children, but hilarious to watch them deal with difficult adults)

No one answered the question I posed earlier. Should slower riders pull over for every rider that wants to get by them?
Awww. The idea that a driver or rider should pay some attention, drive/ride his own ride, and let others do the same is SO traumatic. The awful awful pressure of letting someone pass you!
If you want a leisurely cruise, take one. Great. If someone else doesn't want a leisurely cruise, let him the hell by -- you'll BOTH be happier.
And yes, slower riders should pull over for every rider that wants to get by them. When safe, of course -- it's OK to wait for the next intersection or pullout, but do it reasonably soon, and don't be an ass and try to make others behave as you would like them to just out of spite.

Staying central to Florence or Siena
Hello We would like to stay in one place in Tuscany and hit Florence, Siena, Volterra, Montepulciano, Civita. Is this possible by public transit? We don't want to rent a car but we don't want to spend days of vacation on buses. We want to stay in an agriturismo in perhaps Siena or even a smaller town but we're wondering if its better to stay in Florence, hit Siena then get a car for the small towns and therefore requiring a stay in Siena or Florence then a stay in a smaller town as well. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Going April 27-May 10. Should we likewise expect good weather? Thanks so much!

One of the most popular feeders on the market, the Perky-Pet Pinch-Waist glass feeder showcases the fascinating behavior and beauty of nectar-loving hummingbirds. The feeder features a bright red base with yellow bee guards, helping it attract hummingbirds while keeping bees away. The traditional bottom-fill feeder is also large enough for several hummingbirds at once, with four feeding ports and a removable four-way perch.
Nectar is stored in the clear, shatterproof glass reservoir, which makes it easy to monitor nectar levels (the reservoir stores up to 8 ounces total). The reservoir also unscrews easily from the feeder base for quick cleaning and filling. For best results, clean the hummingbird feeder with a mild soap and water solution at least twice a week, more often in very warm climates or seasons.
The feeder is easy to mount thanks to the included hanger, which suspends from nearly any branch or hook. To attract more hummingbirds, users should locate the feeder away from sun and wind. Sun may cause the nectar mixture to turn bad, while wind may swing the feeder around, causing the mixture to spill. Tying a red ribbon on the feeder wire or pole may also help hummingbirds find the feeder, as will adding a water source, such as a birdbath or bird waterer.
Start adding nectar to your feeder in early spring. Hummingbirds typically begin their journey north around March or April, as the warm weather begins. They remain in the region throughout the summer months, and begin to migrate back south once the flowers cease blooming and insects are scarce. By late September, almost all hummers have moved on to warmer climates for the winter. Online migration maps are a great way to track when the hummingbirds will be arriving in your area.

Financial Analyst Accountants in the United States can expect wages of $54K annually on average. With some bonuses approaching $10K and certain profit sharing proceeds approaching $5K, overall incomes of Financial Analyst Accountants spread between $39K and $79K depending on individual performance. Most report receiving medical coverage from their employers and a strong majority collect dental insurance. Most Financial Analyst Accountants like their work and job satisfaction is high. Women make up a slight majority of Financial Analyst Accountants (53 percent) survey respondents. The numbers in this rundown were provided by PayScale's salary survey participants.

Financial analyst accountants are accountants who generally work for only one company - as opposed to public accountants, who serve many clients. An FAA is in charge of financial planning and forecasting economic and market situations for his/her company and its future interests. They typically work with numbers in corporate settings and spend a lot of time indoors and sitting at a desk working with numbers and formulas.Read More...
Financial analysts are typically employed by client companies which work with a large number of their own clients and may have other accountants who are focused on specific accounts; therefore, the FAA must bring all of these accounts together and merge them into company-specific goals, strategies, and information. These accountants also work directly with the organization's Chief Financial Analyst to create annual forecasts and budgets for the company, as well as develop month-to-month forecasts and budgets. FAAs use this data to analyze results on a monthly basis and often serve as points of contact between the executive team and the accounting branch of the organization.
A bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field is generally required for this position. Some employers may prefer applicants who hold certification as CPAs, while others may prefer applicants with prior accounting experience.
Financial Analyst Accountants generally report applying a varied skill set to their work. Most notably, skills in SAP SAP Financial Accounting and Controlling, Financial Reporting, Accounting, and Microsoft Excel are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 3 percent and 10 percent. Those educated in Accounting tend to be well versed in Financial Reporting and Microsoft Excel.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Although individuals who have less than five years' experience earn $51K on average, people with five to 10 years benefit from a notably larger average of $58K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Financial Analyst Accountants make a median salary of $60K. Folks who claim more than 20 years of relevant experience actually report a comparatively lower median income of $58K.

It's safer this way.
Just imagine something.
Something relevant.
Or not.
A note on the illustrations on my blog:
I am — let's be totally straightforward about this — a computer illiterate. I have a hard time turning my computer on. I can move a cursor and click on a mouse, but what happens thereafter is absolutely mystifying to me. I think there are little jinn inside; most of the time they're well disposed toward me, but occasionally, and unpredictably, they turn on me with mischievous ill will.
One of the things they've been doing, off and on, since I began blogging, is that they intervene whimsically to change photos that I've posted to accompany earlier blog entries. A photo from one post is suddenly, and for no apparent reason, substituted for a randomly chosen photo in another post. Sometimes this is amusing — I especially like the image that appeared sometime last night, of my friend and BYU colleague Jim Faulconer sporting a nifty beard, dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit, and looking remarkably like the Ft. Hood shooter, Major Nidal Hasan — but usually it's just irritating and, when I try to correct it, time-consuming and even, not infrequently, an exercise in frustration and futility.
I just want you to know that I'm not the person doing this. It's the gremlins who live in my microprocessor. Or whatever the #$%&@%& that thing is called.

'Eat' Filmmakers Hope They Won't Be Passed Over
"Listen, you blow people up, you can rape them, you can destroy them, you can do anything like that in Hollywood, it's fine. You want to talk about God? That's a taboo," says Litvak.
Opening in very limited release on Friday (April 7), "Eat" is a movie about a Jewish family (cast members include
"We point to a picture like 'Monsoon Wedding,'" he suggests. "It's a great picture and it's not just any wedding. It's an Indian wedding. And so when you go, you learn about this other culture and its customs and its traditions and to us it's fascinating."
Warren -- who is, in fact, Jewish, no matter what suspicions you might otherwise have had -- agrees that "When Do We Eat?" is universal enough for people of any faith.
"It goes places that I've certainly never gone at the Seders I've been in, but nonetheless, I felt that the dynamics of the family issues -- whether it's a Jewish family or whatever religion or creed or color -- are the same," she says. "I think that these kinds of unresolved issues, resentments, hurts, little flirtations, disappoints -- all of those things exist in families."
It's no coincidence that "Eat" is opening just a few days before Passover begins on April 12, nor is it surprising that the movie is being first release in cities with heavy concentrations of Jews. However, Litvak knows that sometimes the Chosen People can be picky about the movies they choose.
"We know how the movie plays with audiences," he says. "When we show it to Jewish audiences, let's say there's 200 people in the room -- 180 of them are gonna laugh, cry and cheer ... 20 of them are going to sit there with steam coming off their heads say, 'How dare you?'"
He continues, "That's part of our culture too. We've been persecuted everywhere and what do you do? You keep your nose down and you don't air your dirty laundry and you make sure anything you do that represents, represents in the highest perfect tones. But you know what? That's dishonest. Jews are like everyone else. We're damaged. We're flawed."
And really, it's all good. "Eat" has the ultimate seal of approval.
Litvak notes, "The funny thing about this very edgy movie that features drugs and sex and people really misbehaving is that rabbis -- Reform, Conservative, Orthodox and Hassidic -- support the movie. They get it."

The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences' paleontology collection includes approximately 56,000 vertebrate, 55,000 invertebrate and 1,000 paleobotanical specimens. The Museum currently is the repository for 34 fossil type specimens (22 invertebrate and 12 vertebrate). Two of the most notable specimens in the Museum's paleontological holdings are skeletons of Acrocanthosaurus atokensis and Thescelosaurus.
The most significant vertebrate collections are those from the North Carolina Triassic beds which include a large number of synapsids and early archosaurs. The North Carolina Triassic is one of the main areas of our vertebrate research. Good collections of North Carolina Cretaceous and Cenozoic material are represented. These collections include a good number of North Carolina Cretaceous dinosaur fossils, a large marine bony fish (Pliocene and Miocene age) fauna from eastern North Carolina and the fossils of several giant ground sloths, Eremotherium eomigrans, from near the North Carolina coast.

Amrit Singh, managing director of TransIndus.
What's the attraction?
"With Aung San Suu Kyi actively encouraging tourism to Burma, now is the time to travel to this Golden Land that promises a glimpse into traditions and lifestyles that have remained untouched for centuries."
See for yourself
TransIndus (020-8566 2729; transindus.co.uk) offers a 13-day Burma Highlights group tour from £2,698pp, including accommodation with breakfast, welcome dinner, internal flights and travel, flight from Heathrow to Yangon via Bangkok on Thai Airways, scheduled sightseeing and a local tour escort.

>> Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs)
>> Recognized SDOs under Recs. A.4, A.5 and A.6
>> TSB Director's Informal Consultation Group
Estimates vary, but most agree that there are as many as five hundred forums dealing with the development of standards for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
An initiative of the current director of the Telecommunication Standardization Bureau (TSB the secretariat for ITU-T), Houlin Zhao brings some of these forums together to foster more efficient cooperation between the bodies that between them make the standards that ensure that ICT works.
The Informal Forum Summit concept provides a place for the heads of many such forums to get together to agree on proposals for better collaboration. Following a fruitful first summit in 2001, a second summit hopes to build on that success by establishing a regular meeting-ground for improving awareness of the activities of the various different forums and establishing common-ground as a basis for improved collaboration.
ITU-T seeks to encourage the work of independent forums, and dialogue between them and itself to avoid duplication of work and benefit from the pooling of resources. There are a number of informal and formal ways for forums to establish contact with ITU-T.
Recommendations A.4-A.7
layout the formal procedures for establishing communication between ITU-T and other forums and Standards Development Organizations (SDOs). Over
thirty such organizations
have already established a formal relationship with ITU-T.

Chael Sonnen vs Forrest Griffin II set for December 29th. Yes, I said part II as they have fought before with Griffin winning by submission. Chael is moving up to 205. I see Chael winning this one and Forrest retiring after this fight. To me it just doesn'et seem like he has it anymore.
Here is the video from their first meeting.
3 Big fights announced for UFC on Fox 5!
Ben Henderson vs Nate Diaz for the Lightweight Title
BJ Penn vs Rory MacDonald
Mauricio "Shogun" Rua vs Alexander Gustafsson
So what do you think? Can Dan Henderson pull it off as planned? Or does Jon Jones put Hendo to sleep? We'll find out for sure on September 1st, 2012 however if I had to choose right now, I'd say Jones gets the win via submission.Quote:
By Joseph Lisnow | August 19, 2012
http://www.fightline.com/fl/images/p...-henderson.jpgSource: UFC via fightline.com
If Dan Henderson (29-8) has his way, he plans to defeat Jon Jones (16-1) without leaving any hesitation in the fans mind who won the fight."With Jon Jones, I prepare on winning every round," said Henderson. "I want to make sure I win every round so there is no question."
While Henderson looks to dominate every round, if the time is right, he knows he can end the fight early.
"If I can hit him in the right spot, at the right time, and finish him that's even better," said Henderson.
With the exception of a DQ lose, Jones is undefeated in his MMA career. He won the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship in 2011 and has defended it successfully three times, all against former champions. Henderson is on a four fight win streak and looks to win his first UFC championship.
"I don't plan on wasting this opportunity and making sure I come out on top no matter what it takes," said Henderson. "I know I can beat anybody out there if I perform the way I can."
Jones vs. Henderson takes place September 1 at UFC 151.
Isn't Hendo on the downside of his career? Not that that discounts him from winning.
PS: Rob, that sig of yours is giving me nightmares. :eek:
Frankie finally moving down to 145!

PRETORIA: A former girlfriend of Oscar Pistorius has testified at the double-amputee runner's murder trial that their relationship ended when he cheated on her with Reeva Steenkamp, the woman he fatally shot last year.
Samantha Taylor also testified Friday that Pistorius carried a gun with him "all the time" when they were dating, and on one occasion he fired it out of a car's sunroof soon after a policeman stopped the car they were in for speeding.
The court adjourned briefly after Taylor broke down in tears.
Defense lawyer Barry Roux said he would produce emails between Taylor and Pistorius to show the cheating allegation was untrue.
Pistorius says he killed Steenkamp in his home by mistake, thinking she was an intruder. Prosecutors say he intentionally killed her after an argument.

Interesting New Charts
Here are some charts related to the stock Lambda Sensor voltages sampled by the GS-911 during the Highway Test Ride.
First a Pareto Chart of Lambda voltages during Open Loop:
You can see that in the Open Loop periods, the Motronic spent most of its time fueling a richer than Stoic mixture (600 mV and greater). There were also times during deceleration that it dropped to a leaner mixture (below 450 mV) and even times when the fuel was cut-off.
Next is a chart of Lambda Voltage during a Local Ride while the bike warmed up.
You can see that the bike stayed above 450 mV and nicely rich. The rider (me) enjoyed the smoothness and responsiveness and went through the gears briskly.
Next is a chart of a fairly well behaved highway trip. If you look at the Lambda voltages you can see them toggling high and low during Closed Loop and if you look closely you can see the Motronic going Open Loop (points a., b., c., d.) and richer during a couple quick gear changes (#1, #2).
Lastly, here is a chart of a lower RPM pair of shifts with the bike warmed up. You can see at point (a.) the throttle has been opened, at point (b.) the RPM sagged related to the ECU going Closed Loop (c.), and with plenty of lean Lambda voltages (d.) although the Lambda voltage may be toggling during this period and it can't be seen do to the slower sampling rate issue that I mentioned in the prior post. Still you can see it has gone Closed Loop and there are plenty of lean points. Then you can see the same thing happen again in (e., f. and g.).
So since the motorcycle is going to enter Closed Loop at times (like acceleration) when one would prefer a richer mixture (as it is before the bike Oil Temp sensor warms and allows Closed Loop), I will head back to the shop to finish installiing the Wideband LC-1 to see how the bike runs with a richer Closed Loop mixture range. Time to stop writing and start working!
