The other is the elegant and whimsical Cova Cafe, inspired and designed by the famous Milanese coffee bar of the same name. Beyond coffee drinks, it also has an Italian-influenced wine list, serves after-dinner liqueurs and features its own bakery, which offers best-at-sea pastries. (The chocolate croissants are marvelous.) The cafe appears only on Celebrity Millennium, Celebrity Infinity, Celebrity Summit and Celebrity Constellation.
As part of a $525 million Signature of Excellence initiative, Holland America upgraded its vessels to include the Explorations Cafe, which combines a coffee shop, Internet cafe and a library -- making these spaces ideal for those who want to check e-mail or curl up with a good book while sipping some Joe. Beverages offered at Explorations cost extra, but complimentary cookies, pastries, fruit and sandwiches are available.
Signature Elements: You may be thousands of miles from land, but it's still possible to root for the home team, via onboard sports bars. Many lines have negotiated with ESPN and other sports channels to show telecasts.
Our Favorites: Disney Wonder and Disney Magic fill the sports gap with the adults-only Diversions, which features special game tables for backgammon, checkers and chess. Norwegian Epic features O'Sheehan's (pictured), where passengers can bowl, throw darts and play pool or foosball before enjoying dinner and drinks. Most Carnival ships, with the exception of Fantasy and Dream classes, have sports bars on the promenade deck. They're decorated with life-size figures of athletes and tables and chairs made to look like sports equipment.
Signature Elements: Pubs evoke images of cozy, dark wood places that hint of cold and damp, pints of lager, and chalkboard menus offering fish-n-chips and mushy peas -- not to mention cheery fellowship. Cruise ships tend to offer more upmarket recreations. (And, way too often for purist tastes, you'll find Budweiser, rather than Bass, on draught.)
Our Favorites: Our special favorites include The Pearly Kings Pub on Norwegian Dawn; on sea days, it serves up traditional pub grub, along with some English pool. (Catch British television comedies on the in-bar televisions.) Carnival Victory has the Irish Sea Bar -- an apparent nod to the land of Ire -- which has a classic pub feel, thanks to its dark woods and rounded bar, which somewhat resembles an old-fashioned wooden keg.
A fleetwide staple on all Princess cruise ships is the Wheelhouse Bar. Decor varies from ship to ship, but the pub lunch offered daily features standard English fare like bangers and mash, fish-n-chips, a ploughman's lunch and traditional cottage pie.
Signature Elements: This trendy type of bar is relatively new and appears on vessels in several mass-market lines' fleets. In addition to the usual mixed drinks served in other happy hour venues, piano bars also include live piano music, with plenty of opportunities to sing along.
Our Favorites: Carnival earns top honors in this category, with piano bars on all its ships. Though no two look the same (pictured is Carnival Splendor), you can expect the same rollicking atmosphere with plenty of singalongs, group toasts and some adult-themed tunes after midnight.

Press release from Marketwire
Eagle Energy Trust Discusses Recent Trading Activity and Reaffirms Distributions
Monday, December 03, 2012
Eagle Energy Trust Discusses Recent Trading Activity and Reaffirms Distributions08:00 EST Monday, December 03, 2012CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Dec. 3, 2012) - Mr. Richard Clark, President and CEO of Eagle Energy Trust ("Eagle") (TSX:EGL.UN) stated, "There has been unusually high trading volume and price volatility in our stock over the past week or so. We believe that the increased volume was initiated by an institutional holder undertaking a 'tax loss' sale of Eagle units."Mr. Clark continued, "Institutional tax loss selling commonly occurs at this time of year. When such an event occurs, it can leave unitholders with an incorrect impression that something negative has occurred within a company. We wish to assure Eagle unitholders, that there is no negative operational, financial or management event impacting Eagle's business.""We are on track to achieve the 2012 exit guidance that we previously provided to the market in which we stated that we expect to average approximately 2,700 boe/d for the year and exit 2012 at about 3,300 boe/d. Our debt to cash flow ratio is under 1:1. Funds flow from operations is in line with our stated guidance.""We expect to release our capital and operating budget and guidance for 2013 later this week. Our 2013 budget will demonstrate Eagle's planned move from a growth phase on its Salt Flat and Midland assets, toward a sustainability phase, where the amount of capital spent to maintain production, plus distributions paid to unitholders, will be more closely aligned with funds flow from operations, before factoring in the DRIP."Mr. Clark concluded, "Our distributions are intact and we have no plans to reduce our current level of distribution payment."Note Regarding Forward-Looking StatementsCertain of the statements made and information contained in this press release are forward-looking statements and forward looking information (collectively referred to as "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of Canadian securities laws. All statements other than statements of historic fact are forward-looking statements.Forward‐looking statements include those pertaining to Eagle's expected working interest production exit rate for 2012, average working interest production for 2012, funds flow from operations, distributions, and timing for release of its capital and operating budget and guidance for 2013. The success of Eagle's drilling program is a key assumption in the production estimates. The primary risk factors which could lead to Eagle not meeting its production targets are production additions from drilling activity being less than expected, not obtaining regulatory approvals, unexpected operational delays and challenges, greater than anticipated declines in existing production due to poor reservoir performance, the unanticipated encroachment of water or other fluids into the producing formation, mechanical failures or human error or inability to access production facilities, as well as other business risks that are set out in the Trust's Annual Information Form under the heading "Risk Factors".As a result of these risks, actual performance and financial results in 2012 may differ materially from any projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by these forward‐looking statements. Eagle's production rates, and the Trust's distributions, are subject to change in light of ongoing results, prevailing economic circumstances, obtaining regulatory approvals, commodity prices and industry conditions and regulations. Accordingly, readers are cautioned that events or circumstances could cause results to differ materially from those set out in this press release. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of these factors or to assess in advance the impact of each such factor on the operations of Eagle, or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.Undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements, which are inherently uncertain, are based on estimates and assumptions, and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties (both general and specific) that contribute to the possibility that the future events or circumstances contemplated by the forward looking statements will not occur. Although management believes that the expectations conveyed by the forward-looking statements are reasonable based on information available to it on the date the forward-looking statements were made, there can be no assurance that the plans, intentions or expectations upon which forward-looking statements are based will in fact be realized. Actual results will differ, and the difference may be material and adverse to the Trust and its unitholders.Oil and Natural Gas MeasuresThis press release contains disclosure expressed as "boe" or "boe/d". All oil and natural gas equivalency volumes have been derived using the conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas to one barrel ("bbl") of oil. Equivalency measures may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the well head. In addition, given that the value ratio based on the current price of oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different from the energy equivalent of six to one, utilizing a boe conversion ratio of 6 Mcf: 1 bbl would be misleading as an indication of value.About the TrustEagle Energy Trust is an energy trust created to provide investors with a publicly traded, oil and natural gas focused, distribution producing investment with favourable tax treatment relative to taxable Canadian corporations.Richard W. Clark, President and Chief Executive OfficerAll material information pertaining to Eagle Energy Trust may be found under the Trust's issuer profile at www.sedar.com and on the Trust's website at www.EagleEnergyTrust.com.The Trust's units are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol EGL.UN.FOR FURTHER INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT: Contact Information: Eagle Energy TrustRichard W.

Derrick Rose and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears: Decision Making
Derrick Rose Tears His ACL:
Any avid basketball fan now knows that Derrick Rose has torn his Anterior Cruciate Ligament — or ACL. ACL or Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are very common. Let's learn a bit more about them…. using Derrick Rose's ACL injury as an example.
What is the Anterior Cruciate Ligament:
When Derrick Rose hit the court last night, his knee was "stable" and held together by four strong ligaments. The ACL is one of the four major ligaments inside the knee that is responsible for maintaining stability of the knee during certain activities. The ACL or anterior cruciate ligament is necessary for most people to participate in sports involving.
- cutting
- pivoting
- turning or
- twisting
How did Derrick Rose tear his ACL?
Most ACL tears occur as the result of a non-contact injury. As you can see on the video, Derrick Rose's ACL tear occurred when he came down on his leg at an unusual angle, twisted the knee and heard a pop as his leg gave way. Most patients in my office with an ACL tear will note that they pivoted, twisted, or tried to rapidly change direction and then felt a pop.
How do I know if I tore my ACL?
75% of people who present with a painful swollen knee, after a pivoting or rotational injury will have an ACL tear. Most people who tear their ACL – or Anterior Cruciate Ligament will experience a pop or a snap after a fall, sharp turn, etc. They will be unable to continue their activity and within an hour or so, significant swelling will usually occur. Many people who tear their ACL will notice that their knee feels loose or unstable as the swelling starts to subside.
Does Derrick Rose need surgery to repair his ACL tear?
Not everyone who tears their ACL requires a reconstruction to put a new ligament in the knee. Elite athletes, or even weekend warriors who have a persistent feeling of instability — a sense that the knee is loose — will either require an ACL reconstruction or they will need to try a brace or simply give up the activity that leads to the feeling of instability.
Derrick Rose has a complete ACL tear… but partial tears of the ACL occur fairly often. Sometimes enough of the ligament remain that you will not experience instability symptoms — but unfortunately many of you will have a feeling that the knee is loose, despite the fact that the ligament is only partially torn. Most orthopedists will rehabilitate a partial tear patient aggressively before considering if an ACL surgery is necessary. In partial tears, many of us are capable of simply reconstructing or fixing the torn portion —leaving the normal portion of the ACL untouched.
Are all ACL tears Repaired or Reconstructed?
There's no question that Derrick Rose will have his ACL reconstructed. Other adults have choices as I mentioned above. What about children ? As our children become more and more active, we are seeing more and more ACL tears in them. A parent's notion is to avoid surgery if their youngster tears their ACL. Recent scientific studies show that children are at very high risk of developing secondary injuries such as meniscus tears .
ACL Reconstruction: For Derrick Rose … and you too.
The way we perform ACL reconstructions or surgery to repair the Anterior Cruciate Ligament today is far different from the methods utilized in the past. The procedure we perform today is called an Anatomical ACL Reconstruction — from a surgical prospective it is very different than the procedure we performed for decades. The goal of the surgery today is to reconstruct your ACL so that is placed in exactly the same position your old one was. An important caveat …. if you are considering ACL surgery, make sure your surgeon is well versed in the Anatomical Technique.
How long will it take Derrick Rose to recover from his ACL surgery?
We wish Derrick Rose a speedy recovery. Ultimately it will be nearly a year before Derrick Rose can return to basketball after his ACL surgery. Why do we make you wait so long for an ACL to heal? Initially the pain and weakness in the leg will prevent any meaningful activity. After a month or two Derrick Rose will likely feel good. That's when the surgeon becomes the "bad guy" —where you feel good and want to return to sports and we keep saying no. Why do we do that?
The ACL that we placed in your knee will go through a process of regeneration or reorganization that will cause it to be very weak compared to a normal ACL. That weakness will persist for at least 8-12 months or longer. The longer you wait before returning to sports, the less likelihood there is that you will suffer a new tear .
So while we wish Derrick Rose a speedy recovery following his ACL surgery… we know it will be a while until we see his skills demonstrated on a basketball court.

New AL West foes Astros, Rangers open 2013 season
The Rangers and Astros have traditionally played a home and home series each season, so facing each other is nothing new. But this year these teams, separated by about 250 miles, will meet 19 times.
"They're close and it's a natural rivalry, and we hope to build that up and make it a good tradition for the state of Texas," Crane said.
Rangers manager Ron Washington knows better than to take any team lightly, regardless of expectations.
"I don't look at their payroll, I just look at the days we play them and make sure we don't think any games for granted, because on any given day anyone can get beat," Washington said. "It's not the best team that wins; it's the team that plays the best."
Washington has known Porter for years, and believes he'll help speed Houston's development.
"They have some young talent, inexperience, but believe me, they're going to play," Washington said. "I still think that it's going to be a tough year for them, but they're not going to be anybody's doormat, I think Bo Porter and his staff will see to that."
Lance Berkman is in his first season with the Rangers after two seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals. The slugger spent the first the first 11 ½ years of his career with the Astros.
"It's going to be weird," he said of Houston's move to the AL. "The Astros spent 50 years in the National League and now to think of them as an American League franchise is going to be tough. I guess we'll have to get used to it because, like it or not, that's the situation ... I don't like it because I like having a National League franchise in Texas."

This club has provided me with both exceptional distance and the ability to flight the ball much higher. It has also given me the ability to shape shots both ways and it is very easy to hit. This is the best performing wood I have used.
Bought this club after much deliberation I have always went to nike for my woods and big stick and mizuno for my irons but one of my buddies bought a 3 wood x2 hot and I hit it on a par 5 and crushed it almost 35 yrds further than my covert 2.0 3 wood I was sold best club no matter price buy buy buy!
I really like the way these buys feel and hit!!! One of the best clubs I've hit in a while!
This fairway wood was fantastic. The club rocketed off of the fairway and went at least 5-10 yards further than my previous 5 wood. Out of the rough the shape of the club made the ball fly off the club with a great, consistent flight. Would highly recommend this club to anyone.
Usually I buy fairway woods in store where I can test them to see if they work for my particular swing. Bought this one untested, but can truly say that this club is awesome. I used it about five times during my 18 hole round, and the club put the ball out there like I had been using it for years. I never mishit once even though it was my first time using the club. It's a great club and I endorse it wholeheartedly.

Yea, player housing is absolutely essential to me. I love decorating my house with stuff i have received as rewards or loot.
SWG had a really good system, not only could you decorate your house, but show off your fancy gunship as well!

Thanks guys for all of your input. It's all really very helpful. I've coded up a little prototype/proof of concept for our house Building tool. I'll post a Video of me building a house in it as soon as it's uploaded to youtube. We are then releasing the prototype tomorrow for people to start playing around with it so we can get some feedback on it. I'll post the link to it here as well when we release it.

I agree with the consensus SWG had the best player housing along with EQ2 as a close second. Give honorable mention to Ultima Online and Puzzle Pirates. Nobody mentioned Vanguard but they also did alright.
Basically any kind of player housing is good especially if you are building a living breathing world and not just a generic online game. Player housing is certainly not fluff. I have yet to see a MMO that put in player housing and it turned out poorly.

I don't think any game has gotten it right. I've yet to see a game in which the housing is done that way I'd like. Developers say that open world housing is too difficult and players say that instanced housing is lame.
I prefer pre-fab housing with the ability to change certain aspects. For instance, being able to change the material used for things like roof, walls, flooring, exterior and interior decorations, as well as color if you go for a painted look. This gives players a lot of control over the look and feel, so no two houses will be exactly the same.
Having preset layouts allows for less server and client load when entering housing areas, and is one step closer to open world housing. However, I do not like the idea of open placement. In Ultima Online, I don't think anyone enjoyed an endless maze of housing that created a lot of lag as you pass by.
There should be limited open placement. Meaning, developers design their world to include housing areas. These area's themselves will be open to placement, but the entire world will not be. Each expansion that adds territory should be the same way. And then you'll have a nice housing market, where people will buy and sell their property. But DAS1337, there probably won't be enough room on the map for all of the people who want a house!
Well, there are two solutions. Phasing is one of them. Players will be attached to a phase that isn't full, until they place a house. After placement, they are locked into that phase each time they enter it, so they can go to their own house. I personally don't like this idea, because it means that NPC vendors aren't really feasible. And if they are, you'll have to jump between phases to visit other NPC vendors. That's an immersion breaker for me.
So here's my best solution. Unlimited instanced housing in cities and guild houses, as well as being able to friend people to an existing house to share assets. The unlimited housing should be small, and limited in how you can change it's appearance. So, a player should be able to go to a tavern, or inn, and pay daily to stay there and keep some of their belongings there in a lockbox. Each player will get their own instance of that room, though, likely, you won't be able to visit a friends room. Also, if you are part of a guild, and they have placed a guild house, they can assign you the ability to have an instanced room within the guild house. This will act similarly to the inn or tavern idea in cities. And obviously, depending on how much you want to pay for rent, your room may be nicer, with more tools, such as anvils, forges, looms, alchemy sets, etc.
Now, you combine the two ideas. Players get open world housing that is open placement within developer designated areas. Developers can offer this because they allow players a second option in rented instanced rooms that make sense. It helps reduce server load and gives everyone the ability to have their own space within the game world, without breaking immersion with phasing. It adds a new market to the game in house brokering. Guilds become even more important with the ability to offer player housing to those who didn't get a chance to place their own.
And most importantly, when subscription numbers start to dwindle, and houses decay and fall down, existing players who never had a place to stay within the game world, now have the opportunity to do so. It also keeps all areas of the map active. That newbie area that you went through six months ago might be your home, and you might share a home in the same area as a hundred other players. You'll constantly see people coming back and visiting, as well as the city that it's nearest to.
So that's my take on housing. Limited open placement and instanced rented spaces. Give players the best of both worlds and have it make sense. It's a hybrid system that, in my opinion, would be flat out awesome.

Greed Monger contains OpenWorld Non-Instanced housing... We do it by forcing players to purchase Land parcels with real money (A one time fee). We also have Limited numbers of Parcels available which will help fuel our Housing Auction System where players can place their parcels up for sale on the Auction System and we get a small percentage of what's made from the Auction and then the players gets the rest. Once the parcel value reaches a point that overall it's too expensive to buy parcels through the auction we will add more parcels that a player can own.

Looks like a very interesting system, having so many small "building blocks" gives the player a wide variety of options.
But isn't it a trade-off ? Won't all those seperate objects start causing lag ? That model mansion would probably run to 200+ 3-D objects when completed, and then you still have to add all the furniture and decorations...
And doesn't the presence of so many objects pose serious challenges for NPC AI when determining pathing ?
Originally posted by SpottyGekko
Well the solution is a mix of several other systems. Server side I have a custom Area of Interest System. Houses will only be displayed if your with in the area of interest for that house. The AOI settings for each object can be set on the fly resulting in a dynamic system that can be adjusted based on the situation the player finds him/her self in at any giving time and based on the players settings/computer specs. If the player enters a heavily packed city center for example the AOI can be decreased allowing for more objects to be displayed for each building.
Item's inside a house will only be rendered once the player steps onto the parcel that the house resides in. Which means that unneeded objects won't be rendered. Each parcel will also be allowed a certain number of Rendered objects and won't be able to have more then that number. Alot of these settings will be figured out during Alpha when we conduct Load tests.
The Models them self use Texture atlases which helps to keep the Draw Calls down to a minimum. As a last area to optimize if needed we can also combine the meshes into a single mesh once the house is completely built.
Path finding: We have a dynamic Path finding solution which can adjust at runtime. NPCs will be kept down to a minimum where Greed Monger is mostly a Player Driven game,. We will have City Guards, Player Hired Vendors, Bar Keepers, and other sorts of NPCs that do certain tasks. Most of these types of NPCs however will be stationary at their place of work. For the few Wondering NPCs we add in to give the world more life they will mostly stick to the streets and paths which should be free from too many Obstacles for them to path around.

Ultima Online had a good concept for housing but it sort of fell short of the mark for me.. Especially after my house was bugged into and robbed blind.. Plus, the sheer amount of player houses out in the wilderness became a little gaudy really.. It was hard to find an area untouched by player homes..
Horizons (before it became known as just Istaria) had an excellent system for housing.. Or more appropriately, a system to design a house, merchant area, storage, or whatever you or your guild wanted.. Whole guild townships grew up over weeks and months.. Plus, they were in set parcels of land so they didn't interfere with your cross-country adventuring..
Overall, however, I'd say Everquest 2 has the best system in place.. With 3 types of guild halls and a ton of player homes (albeit a bunch of them are Station Cash purchases), EQ2 has most of the competitors beat.. I spent a bit of time myself falling into the "decorating" crowd and was surprised by the many options in house design..

What would actually be nice and quite immersive is if after a specific time without maintenance by the player, the house starts to decay into a ruin which will stay around a while and can be "repaired" if the player comes back, until it completely disappears freeing up the spot for another player's house.
Ruined cities could actually add the feeling of a living, breathing world.

I loved the housing in UO and especially in SWG. There I had a big mansion with a store in it. I loved the fact that I had employees and that I had to travel overland to my mining facilities to get the resources for my crafting. It was brilliant game design!

Lotro has a bad one with predetermined hooks for furniture. At least it has housing even if it's not a good one.

Sure from the outside apart from the vendor sign it all where houses, but inside we made some very creative store's. Would be different if everyone had the same floorplans and might even become boring to not be creative in how you designed your shop.
But full on topic, yes I feel SWG had the greatest housing system and I never have seen or experianced anything alike. Sure there are some MMORPG's that do offer or go beyond SWG's housing but then the overall visual settings isn't what I like.

UO and SWG have/had the best player housing systems imo.

1. UO - It is 2D, but you build every block, and can get up to a castle sized house.
2. SWG - Open world 3D housing, different models, but not as customizable as UO.
3. Vanguard - 3D, same as SWG with pre-built plans, housing areas/plots that are sectioned off to keep from having a sprawl everywhere.

The St. Marys Area Dutch soccer team pulled off a hard-fought 1-0 win against Elk County Catholic on Thursday afternoon at the SMAHS soccer field.
The Dutch victory came almost a week after the two teams met for the first time this season in the opening round of the Elk County Boys' Soccer Tournament.

India, which has 61.26 million people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes (8.3 percent of the population), ranks second only to China in total cases and third behind the United States (10.9 percent) and China in terms of prevalence. By 2030, India will have 101.2 million people with type 2 diabetes, IDF projects. "In keeping with a long legacy of addressing global health issues through innovative and sustainable philanthropic programs, Bristol-Myers Squibb and the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation are pleased to expand our philanthropic work in type 2 diabetes to India and China, where the disease has become a significant public health concern," said Lamberto Andreotti, chief executive officer, Bristol-Myers Squibb.
"As their populations grow older and more sedentary, health authorities in India and China are seeing many of the same problems experienced by their Western counterparts, namely obesity and type 2 diabetes," said John Damonti, president, Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation and vice president, Corporate Philanthropy, Bristol-Myers Squibb. "What's worse, we are seeing only the tip of the iceberg. For every patient in India or China who has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, there are several others who are undiagnosed or considered pre-diabetic.
Together on Diabetes is a model developed in the United States, that aims to improve health outcomes of people living with type 2 diabetes by strengthening patient self-management education, community-based supportive services and broad-based community mobilization. In line with the Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation's mission to reduce health disparities, Together on Diabetes targets populations disproportionately affected by type 2 diabetes.

Wilson, Edward Osborne
Edward Osborne Wilson, 1929–, American sociobiologist, b. Birmingham, Ala. Founder of sociobiology, Wilson was educated at the Univ. of Alabama and Harvard, joined the Harvard faculty in 1956, and later became a professor of zoology. His exhaustive study of ants and other social insects, on which he is the world's chief authority, led to his Sociobiology: The New Synthesis (1975), a controversial work on the genetic factors in human behavior in which Wilson argued that all human behavior, including altruism, is genetically based and therefore
He later called for careful study of
"gene-cultural co-evolution."
Critics have called sociobiology a dangerously reductive determinism that could be used to defend notions of racial superiority and eugenics; others have defended Wilson's evidence and biological reasoning.
Wilson's On Human Nature (1978) won the Pulitzer Prize; Biophilia (1984) suggests that human attraction to other living things is innate; Consilience (1998) urges wider integration of the sciences; and The Creation (2006) pleads for a unified effort by secular and religious thinkers to save the earth's biodiversity. Other books by Wilson are Insect Societies (1971), The Diversity of Life (1992), The Ants, with Bert Hölldobler (1990; Pulitzer Prize), The Future of Life (2002), The Superorganism, also with Hölldobler (2008), The Social Conquest of Earth (2012), and a novel, Anthill (2010). Letters to a Young Scientist (2013) is an autobiographical celebration of a life devoted to scientific exploration and a suggestion of the many areas of science yet to be investigated.
See his autobiography (1994).

big plot danger when igor karkaroff is naming names while hoping to get out of Askaban (apparently successfully) he names Severus Snape. Dumbledore defend Snape saying he changed sides and acted as a spy in Vlodemprt's midst. This is apparently at least the second time Dumbledore does so. This time Barty Crouch jr hears it. Yet, somehow BCjr does nor tell Voldemort even when they kill Frank Brice (the muggle caretaker) during the summer before the tri-wizard tournament

I like this Harry Potter, it\'s full of fun and adventure, the only part I don\'t like is when Ron turns on Harry, but then they make up and all is right again in the world.

Reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian has posed nude while pregnant for a new magazine spread.
The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" co-star has joined the ranks of the celebrities who have stripped while pregnant.
She has posed completely naked for the new issue of DuJour magazine, explaining, "I'm not trying to impress anybody, or be something that I'm not. It's just a beautiful thing, just being able to take those photographs and have them, and just be able to show my children."
"I did this because I wanted to and it made me happy." @kourtneykardash on her nude preg… http://t.co/r0zEfDJLk9 pic.twitter.com/xADRK4lz6Y
— DuJour (@DuJourMedia) December 3, 2014
She adds, "We were shooting for our show during the photo shoot, and everyone on our camera crew at the end of the day was like, 'You are so comfortable just walking around naked and pregnant.' And (boyfriend) Scott (Disick) said to me… he stopped by at the end of the shoot with Kim, and he said to me at the shoot, 'You are so comfortable! You are fine just standing there, like, naked with all these people around?'
"I don't know if Scott's super excited about it or not, but one thing that's amazing about him is that he's always very supportive and very complimentary. Whether I'm changing, or about to take a shower, or something, he's always complimenting my body and makes me feel good about myself."
Cash stolen from Kardashian/Disick New York home
Pregnant reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian and her boyfriend Scott Disick have called in police after a briefcase carrying $4,000 in cash was stolen from their rented New York home.
The couple is currently holidaying in The Hamptons with Kardashian's sister Khloe as part of their new reality show "Kourtney and Khloe Take The Hamptons," but their summer trip was disrupted last month after a thief grabbed the case from Kardashian and Disick's bedroom.
They filed a police report with local authorities in the town of Southampton, revealing the money was taken between July 1 and 4.
Cops have confirmed nothing else was stolen, and there was no sign of forced entry.
According to editors at TMZ.com, the reality stars suspect the theft was an inside job as it is the third such incident to hit their family in recent months.
Kourtney Kardashian first contacted police in February after $50,000 in cash was taken from her home in Calabasas, Calif., while her younger sister Khloe Kardashian became the second theft victim in early March, when an estimated $250,000-worth of jewelry was taken from her Tarzana, Calif., home in the midst of her move to a new property.

just a question and some advice needed
My system:
Gateway 1.4ghtz, P4,
1 gig pc800 rdram,
19" monitor,
Xtasy GF4 TI4200 w/128 meg mem,
nvidia 40.71 drivers
The question is: Using the 3dmark 2001, the highest score i can get 79xx. Is this normal or at least in the "range" for the above system? I ask because i keep seeing 5 digit scores for comparable system.
Advice needed: a good set of settings for Riva tuner for above system. Using the default settings for the tuner is where i get the 79xx score. Anything else produces a lower score. I'm not a power addict but would like to get the best settings available from the video card.
Appreciate any feedback,
Sorry, i'm running windowsME.
I would try pulling out 512 mb of your system RAM. The Windows 9x core (on which ME is based) does not get along well with anything more than 512 mb of RAM. Give that a shot because that score is low for your system - I would get consistently over 8000 with my old GeForce3.
The system "see's" all of the full gig and havent ran into any problems with it. But, hey, its easy to pull 512 and try that out. will let u know....
OK, I pulled 512 meg of memory. The 3dmark score went to 7903. Not a large jump. Without changing i ren the test again got 76xx, what gives? I'm lost.

"Sound City" tells about the infamous recording studio in Van Nuys, California. The film was conceived by Grohl after purchasing the legendary Neve 8028 recording console from Sound City Studios last year. The console, built in 1972, is considered by many to be the crown jewel of analog recording equipment, having recorded such artists as Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Cheap Trick, Guns and Roses, Fear, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Slipknot, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, and countless other musical legends over the past 40 years.
Through interviews with the artists and producers that created decades of musical history at "Sound City", the film will showcase the amazing history of the studio, focus on the albums recorded there that went on to change the world, discuss the human element of music in an age of technology, and feature performances from many of the artists that called it "home".

Just got my Galaxy Note and would love to root it as soon as possible with this method that doesn't increase the flash counter. Does anyone have an uploaded mirror download of the main mediafire from page one? I have not been able to find any other method that doesn't trip the flash counter or any other downloadmirror of the files used in this thread.
You can reset your flash counter now, so this really shouldn't be a concern if you need to return the phone:
Well then that makes it a lot easier. Now then my question is, say I root and then use the counter tool to get my flash down to zero, I will need to flash again to get to stock ATT rom correct? Won't unrooting and flashing the stock ATT trigger the counter back to one?

Btw... when someone is licking your balls, "yeah... that's not the worst thing in the world" is not an appropriate compliment/thank you.

Yesterday, when I checked, they had stopped working (lead to my 404 error page).
I checked with my webhost(surpass hosting) and they say that the problem lies within wordpress.
Any suggestions?

Try re-setting you permalinks and, eventually, re-create the .htaccess rules.
Without permalinks it works: http://www.pileofsassy.com/index.php?p=15
Unfortunately I have no idea how to do anything that you said.
I'm an incompetent wordpress user. :/
hmm... none of my "categories" are working, either - I didn't do anything, I swear!
sass, if you really did nothing, then I guarantee you it IS something your host did. Ask them if they "upgraded" ANYTHING.... php? mysql? apache itself? cpanel?
Ok I just replied to them AGAIN asking if anything was upgraded.
Well, let us know what they say when you hear from them.... meantime, go back over anything you MIGHT have done in the last week, but forgot about due to the press of other RL stuff....
The only thing I can think about is that I changed my hotlinking protection to allow a site to hotlink to me - that's it.
I'll definitely let you know when I hear back - thanks for your help!
and, changing the hotlinking protection affects the .htaccess file. hmm.
This is the last I heard from my webhost:
"I checked your wordpress admin panel. I cannot find anything on the server that would be affecting this. I am not sure what permissions wordpress requires, or what files it uses when loading the comments page. I noticed you get this message also when looking at archived posts, so you may be missing whatever file it needs. Unfortunately we can't provide further support for third-party applications, so I suggest either making a backup of your database and trying a fresh install, or checking the wordpress support forums. Let us know if there is anything we can do to help.
Well, thing is, if you did nothing for sure, WordPress does nothing on its own, y'know?
So yeah, I'd be looking at the hotlinking stuff, because that's added into the .htaccess. And if you already have permalinks for wp, there might be something wonky going on there.
I'd recission the hotlinking to see if having it out of the way fixes the problem. If so, I'd tell my friend they'd have to do something else....
who did install WP for you? Who did set up the permalinks? Because you said you don't understand what I suggested as a simple check and solution.
Go to admin panel > Options > Permalinks and empty all the fields (=delete everything from the fields) and click the Update settings button.
Check if everything works. Post back here :)
Oh my gosh I think I fixed it!
I pasted the info at the bottom of the permalinks page into my .htaccess file and I think that did the trick...
I can see my comments pages now...
Did I do it right?
I installed WP and set up permalinks, but I guess I'm still not very WP savvy.
My categories links still aren't working, though - any tips for that?
and my monthly archives still aren't working, either. drat.
OK, I give up...
awww no giving up!
Ok weird.
It stopped working and then started working again.
Categories are working now as are monthly archives.
So weird!
Eh, well, don't look a gift horse in the mouth, sweetie! Thank whoever, and enjoy....
Thanks for your help, vkaryl and moshu.
Hopefully I won't be back with trouble any time soon. :)
You're welcome, and if you do have other questions, feel free to post!
Hello. I'm getting the same error message...
"This feed is making a "clunking� sound.
This publisher's content was recently unavailable so FeedBurner cannot present it at this time."
Feed Address: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Petlvrcom-theBlog
HTTP Error Code: 500
Detail: There was a problem retrieving the feed: Error getting URL: 404 - Not Found
I had no clue it wasn't working, but based on the time that Feedburner claims it had stopped working, I think I know what happened that I probably caused something.
I have been working with an untested upgrade to the "Evermore" plugin. I first deactivated old and reactivated new. It didn't do anything for me. There were three variables that I would be playing with ONLY to see if I can get this "More-Evermore" plugin to suit my needs. I was playing with two of them.
// Global settings for the plugin.
// Evermore uses (0, 1, false) for these.
$char_skip_count = 100;
$para_skip_count = 1;
$run_on = true;
I changed the 100 to 0 and the skip count incremental up to 10 and then hitting refresh and seeing if it helped me. Afterwards, knowing it didn't, I deactivated this plugin and reactivated "Evermore" again. That's the time this feed approximately went down.
Any suggestions how to get that up again?
ps: IF I PING THE FEED THROUGH FEEDBURNER PING .. I RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE:
Your Ping resulted in an Error "java.lang.ClassCastException"
Take care.
Follow up to myself and this forum:
It is fixed now - I believe the cause was that I followed advise of http://warpspire.com/journal/programming/getting-all-of-your-feed-subscribers-to-feedburner-wordpress/ this page, trying to capture 100% of my feedreaders .... I can only guestimate that this experimental plugin possibly created some issues with a few core files that I modified in the root ... wp-feed.php, wp-rss2.php etc ... As soon as I copied back original copies of these 2 and a few more, and re-did my permanent link in Options .. the feed came back.

Her goal was to build off the momentum and experience of those leaving.
"[I wanted to] preserve what was so powerful in their environment," she said.
The journey was not without its difficulties, as Ehrenberg said student who were lost due to illness and other circumstances during her tenure required her to be strong for the community despite the sadness.
"We have to act strong for the rest of the world," she said. "Being strong for others during times of crisis, it really takes its toll."
To add to the hardship, she lost her own son, Eric, two years ago to cancer.
"Eric's death probably sped up my leaving the district," she said.
Ehrenberg said she leaves North Colonie knowing she gave the job her all and has few regrets.
"You have to feel that more often than not, your decisions are good ones," she said.
She said making "hundreds" of judgment calls each day requires confidence that she had the best information possible. She said she always tried her best to put students first.
"I like to keep the voices of the students in my head," she said.
Ehrenberg took specific pleasure in letting students know when they were successful and often penned letters for small victories for students and tried to let them know their work was appreciated.
She has worked closely with her successor, D. Joseph Corr, and has been giving him extra advice since he was selected to take over for her earlier this year.
She said it's always easier when more resources are available and the next school year is sure to be a challenge with the state deficit looming, but she said she is confident in Corr. She said listening to the community, thinking and communicating will be keys to success.
"I know his heart and head will be in the right place," she said. "I think he will be a very successful superintendent."

Let's say skip_header is supposed to be 5. I want to know what should I do to avoid the program from crashing at the end, if the user inputs a value other than 5.
This is the error that I got:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "F:\sampletask1.py", line 134, in <module>
z = np.genfromtxt(filename,skip_header= header)
File "C:\Python_1\lib\site-packages\numpy\lib\npyio.py", line 1560, in genfromtxt
raise ValueError(errmsg)
ValueError: Some errors were detected !
Line #9 (got 348 columns instead of 2)
Line #10 (got 348 columns instead of 2)
Line #11 (got 348 columns instead of 2)
and so on
Thank you!

I wouldn't rely on it to get you in shape, but there are much worse ways of wasting time playing video games.Where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence.

Style: Muay Thai MMA--
We've had one since it came out. My wife injured her back training and was piling on the pounds so she insisted on one. It's helped her a lot with her back problem and also helped to shake the weight she gained from being almost immobile.
Really does help your balance, I recommend them to everyone but people (martial artists) just look at you funny and shake their heads.
Just wait for the kata game.:sad11:
Style: BJJ,MT,RBSD (on hiatus)--
We got a Wii and Wii fit for x-mas. The boxing is cool (but a little idiosyncratic) and the golf is relaxing to play. The Wii fit weight and BMI tracking is also neat is somewhat tactless when you have a few extra pounds and the balance games and yoga are fun.
I got my girlfriend the Jillian Michaels workout game at the same time and that's also a decent way to break a sweat when you can't get to the gym. We also got Dance Dance Revolution for the kids and while I will not admit to trying it I will say that it's seems like a good way to break a sweat in improve your coordination.<insert witty comment>

I went to a Parkinson's convention with my mom a couple months back and guess what? One of the speakers focused his presentation entirely on Wii-Fit. Turns out it is great for balance rehabilitation for people suffering from the disease (another check mark in the "great for balance" column).
I would get one for my mom but the wireless stuff that goes into using a Wii fucks around with people who have DBS as part of their treatment (damn it). I still want one for myself, though.

FSU 4 Florida 2
Tallahassee, Fla. – Second-ranked Florida State (32-3) captured its first regular season series victory over intra-state rival and No. 24 Florida (24-13) since 2005 with a 4-2 win Tuesday night. A new Dick Howser Stadium crowd of 6,737 were on hand to see senior Ryan Strauss pick up his second straight win over the Gators this year while throwing his first career complete game.
"Florida State, Florida is enough said," added head coach Mike Martin on taking the season series from the Gators. "Florida has a great ball club and we were very fortunate to win. We executed very well offensively and you have to give Florida credit. They kept the ball game close throughout by making some very good pitching decisions." Continue reading ACC Recap for 4/15
