I often see many dedicated gym-goers, especially women, who run endlessly on the treadmill, sweat gruelingly through group exercise classes and do other modes of aerobic exercise, but refuse to do any strength training exercises.
When questioned, they inevitably will state that their goal is to lose fat and stay healthy and they don't desire to build muscle or "look like a man." Sadly, they are missing a major component of a comprehensive program that would more assure them of reaching their goal.
Resistance training, also known as strength training, includes all forms of exercises with free weights (barbells and dumbbells), weight machines, exercise tubing, kettlebells or your own body weight.
Many of us realize the health benefits to be had through aerobic/cardio conditioning, but are not aware of all the benefits of resistance training. In addition to muscle toning and strengthening, resistance training increases metabolism, increases bone density, and believe it or not can be even more effective at long term weight loss than aerobic exercise.
This is especially true in regards to losing "fat weight," not just bodyweight. The goal when losing weight should always be to lose fat while preserving lean bodyweight.
The benefits of progressive strength training can be traced back thousands of years when — as legend goes — Milo, a 6th century BC Greek wrestler, carried a newborn calf on his shoulders every day until it was a full grown bull.
Much more recently, there has been tremendous scientific research promoting resistance training and the corresponding overall health benefits. That same research has also taken away some of the common misperceptions associated with resistance training.
Don't worry about resistance training making you bulky or big. I always tell my female clients that if you're over 35, any amount of muscle you gain will be what you have already lost.
Muscle mass, in both males and females, diminishes with age. The more muscle we have, the higher our metabolisms are, so a loss of muscle will lead most often to a gain of fat. It has been reported that the average adult will gain as many as 10 pounds of fat every decade without ever increasing their caloric intake.
But strength training can help you preserve and enhance your muscle mass at any age. The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn to reduce excess body fat. Research has shown that this not only leads to weight loss, but can also make it easier to control your weight over time. This is because lean muscle mass has a higher energy requirement on your body — you burn more calories even when your body is at rest.
The minerals that compose our bones begin to deteriorate and become more fragile as we age. Resistance training helps to build tissue and support around the bones, in addition to increasing bone density and reducing the risk of osteoporosis.
Small-frame people and postmenopausal women are especially prone to bone loss. Research has shown that women increased their bone mass by 9 percent after a year-long strength training program. Women who did not participate in strength training lost bone density.
As you get stronger, your body will not fatigue or tire as quickly. Since our muscles act as shock absorbers, building muscle can protect your joints from injury. Stronger muscles also lead to improved balance. Less fatigue, less injury, and better balance add up to increased longevity because of the increased activity level that will be possible as you age.
Now that I have hopefully convinced you of the benefits of resistance training, where do you start?
The American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association recommend strength training a minimum of two times a week, in addition to moderate or intense cardiovascular activity.
There are many benefits of resistance training, but perhaps the most obvious is that it can help you lose weight and keep your body strong. No matter what your strength training goals might be, it is never too late to start some form of resistance training. With all the benefits to be had, don't resist making resistance training a regular part of your overall fitness plan.

|Water quality concerns and acceptance of irradiated food: a pilot study on Mexican consumers.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20648528 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|BACKGROUND: Poor quality irrigation water is a major cause of disease transmission for urban inhabitants consuming fresh produce in many developing countries. Irradiation of food is an alternative approach to reducing health risks for consumers, but its implementation depends heavily on consumer acceptance.
RESULTS: In this pilot study, we show that most respondents consider the water quality of Mexico City to be poor and a health risk, and would be willing to pay for irradiated food as a means of pasteurizing fresh iceberg lettuce.
CONCLUSION: Irradiated food could, potentially, be accepted in developing countries that have problems with water quality. Such acceptance would presumably be due to the perception that such a novel technology would (1) alleviate water impairment, and (2) lead to economic improvement. It is then possible that the public considers that water quality is a more pressing concern than any potential side effects of food irradiation.

Details of how to file these returns may be found at the websites of your respective taxing authorities.

Okay, so it's not nearly as cool as the BlackBall Football Table we featured recently, but it's definitely more affordable.
This Foosball Coffee Table from Chicago Gaming is made from hand carved wood and features hand painted foosball players, stainless steel ball return, and solid wood scoring beads and handles.
Coffee Beer and foosball. Why not?

That is an extremely cool reward for winning. Good luck to everyone.
Are you currently developing a UDK game? Then we've got a special competition for you which we are running with Epic Games during the 2010 Indie of the Year.
Posted by INtense! on Dec 1st, 2010
With the 1st Annual Indie of the Year competition well underway with 35,000 votes logged and the 9th Annual Mod of the Year on record pace with 90,000 votes logged - we interrupt the current proceedings with the most awesome news. If you are currently making a game with UDK this competition applies to you, if not we suggest you hang your head in shame and check it out. The free edition of Unreal Engine 3 is undeniably one of the coolest game engines (check out those screens below from only a handful of the hundred's of UDK games in development) out there which puts all the tools you need to create amazing games, lifelike scenes and fantastic worlds in your hands.
Thanks to Epic Games, in 2010 the Top 20 UDK Games (which have a playable demo released by December 7th 2010) as decided by players votes will then be narrowed down into the top 10 by judges from Epic and IndieDB. Then in late December (or possibly even early January depending on how distracted we get blasting away judging the games) we shall announce the top 10. The ultimate winner will receive a flight to the Epic offices in Cary, NC for up to 5 of their developers. They will then meet Epic's developers, tour the brand new studio facilities and give a demo of their UDK game on the 16'x9' display in the area known as The Arena.
... pretty darn awesome prize if you ask us (I can squeeze into your suitcase for the trip)! So if you are making a UDK game we suggest you get a demo out before December 7th and get people voting for your game to give it the best chance of winning. Best of luck developers!
That is an extremely cool reward for winning. Good luck to everyone.
Good luck all. Get Valve involved :D
epic dont forget the mod and indie community
first msuc and now this
thats really cool
Damm that is a nice prize, congrats to who ever wins, maybe next year ill be in with a team on a UDK project. Hopefully.
Also me as well too along with you.
Did they write news about it on their website? Since some indie UDK developers not registered on IndieDB can miss this opportunity. ;-)
I'm sure they will - this is a brilliant opportunity for UDK developers to show their skillz to one of the forward thinking and game dev studios.
Ah, too bad Renegade X won't have a release by December 7th. Really close one.
A demo will suffice, just needs to be playable.
A bit of a short notice... I hope they do this again in the future.
A trip to EPIC! I would kill for something like that, damn my lack of motivation. Good luck for the contestants and great job DesuraNET staff!
So. Awesome.
Awesome! Good luck to those that will make it to the deadline!
Epic are just Epic
Still not a fan of Epic's games, but they seem to be a pretty cool company. Best of luck to everyone involved.
Time to step forward Valve !!
Nice prize indeed
Wow! nice prize! :D
Coda UDK anyone?
Go go developers, all of you can win, and also, let us play your demos soon ^-^
Good luck for you all!
So do developers have to release the game to the public, or just give a demo to the epic judges?
I *believe* it must be public, but if you want to hand over something privately please do so and if your game is a serious contender we shall let you know (i.e. to win we might ask that you make the private build public).
amazing award, good luck to all!
lovely incentive, although www.tactical-assault.com is being made on the UDK, we really will not have a playable demo released in time for such chance at a wonderful prize.. and importantly the "recognition".
Best of luck to those UDK fellow groups out there that shall qualify
Matt "aRny" Murdoch
TA Team, PR Manager
Hmz, we of Project Stealth are still merging the various subsystems of our previous UT3 builds into the new UDK-powered framework. Getting a demo out before December 7th is kinda hard, if not impossible, if you weren't planning on releasing before 2011. *kicks the programmers into overdrive* Muhaha.
*drooool* Good luck everyone in the game!
If this becomes an annual event, I am pledging an Invasion of the Epic Games Office by Team Chivalry following the 2011 Indie Awards.
This is just another example of how awesome working on the UDK is with the support of a down to earth and community focused industry giant like Epic Games.
If only every studio was like this, only other I can think of is Valve, who buy modders up and sell their games, or like Alien storm, buy them up...and give their game away free.
A playable demo in 7 days you say? NP. Now where'd I leave that divide by zero energy drink ....
Yeah just a shame it is so short notice that anyone without something out there has so little time to get anything ready! However I guess this is really for fully released indie games of 2010.
May the best Indie win!
That's sweet. One more chance.
Edit: So does voting start on the 7th and is it the same deal as before?
No voting, the top 20 players choice mods on the 7th will be included (provided they have a demo)
This gives me an excuse to say:
Depth needs to release a demo!!!
Hrmm, I wonder if we should unleash some Primal Carnage upon this..
i think so.
Also, excellent PR action from Epic.
For the record, does the demo have to be live before 7th, or is releasing it on the 7th also allowed?
And how does voting work, how do we inform our community on how to vote?
there is no more voting. The top 20 UDK games (with a private or public release) as decided by voting in the IOTY awards will be automatically entered. So if your game is in the top 100 that includes yours, if not you will need to ask us to see if your game has made it.
Wow, so Project Stealth is already in the list of "nominated" games, we just need to have something released and get on the top 20 list (by votes earned in the Indie of the Year Contest).
How does releasing something in private work, because we obviously can't finish up a game in 4 days, but we can supply a (tech) demo with playable content, but we do not wish to make it public as it doesn't fit into our release scheme.
just contact staff email@example.com and organize a way (FTP or something) for us to privately download your build. We will not share it with anyone other than Epic Games.
Thanks for your time and effort to reply! You will be hearing from us!
dam i hope they do this again its a shame our project doesnt stand a chance atm :(
damn i wish i started making games, :(
damn lucky those who get to go to epic, big chance for you guys.
Cool! I am working on a UDK game right now but it's far too early for this. I actually visited Epic Games HQ about a month ago, "The Arena" is a kickass room with a massive TV and a 25 foot tall statue of the Malcolm player model from UT. I had a lot of fun touring the studio when I was there, it's a great prize. I didn't really meet any developers when I was there, which is the truly juicy reward for this competition.
Unfortunately, no chance of getting a working demo out by that point in time - we've got too much to implement and get working. Maybe next time, if Epic does it again.
Damn good to see them involved in the community mind. :)
That's a pretty amazing once-in-a-lifetime opportunity the winners are getting here. Very cool contest!
Good luck modders! XD
I still wonder whats the different between moddb and IndieDb, I registered at moddb and I'm able to log in at IndieDb too? Why that? :)
I read 16'x9' as 16:9. Then I read it again.
m_iNd = bLown;
m_iNd = Comprehend();
} while(m_iNd != bLown);

I'm new to this forum, but I'm trying to sell my 2011 Lib Tech Skate Banana. 154 cm, orange/blue design. Received it as a gift two years ago, but couldn't ride the first year due to school.

I will cover 20 of shipping. you pay the difference. Will include ride ls bindings. I just don't want them since I have union forces. Sintered base! And the long list of skate banana tech... so for more than 100 bucks cheaper, you're getting an entire lib tech skate banana setup other than just the board. End of sales pitch so this is where I say pm me? :D in excellent condition
Will have it professionally tuned n waxed before shipping so it's ready to go (40$ right there)

Croatia enters European Union
ZAGREB, Croatia — Fireworks lit the sky, and festive crowds gathered on the streets to mark Croatia's entry Monday into the European Union, a major milestone about 20 years after the country won independence in a bloody civil war that shook the continent.
Croatia became the 28th EU member, the bloc's first addition since Bulgaria and Romania joined in 2007. Though enthusiasm for the country's achievement has been dampened by the EU's financial turmoil, it is a historic turning point for the small Balkan nation of 4.2 million, which endured years of carnage after declaring independence from the former Yugoslavia in 1991.
"As midnight struck, your country crossed an important threshold," European Council President Herman Van Rompuy told the cheering crowd in Croatia's capital. "It will change the life of this nation for good."
"In the history of a nation, there are a few events such as this one," Croatia's President Ivo Josipovic said. "The accession of Croatia to the European Union is confirmation that each one of us belongs to the European democratic and cultural set of values."
A decade back, when Croatia started negotiating the entry, the once war-torn country was overjoyed at the prospect of becoming a member of the European elite. With the EU in deep financial trouble and Croatia's own economy in recession for five consecutive years, the excitement has dimmed.
Thousands of people waving small EU and Croatian flags nonetheless joined celebrations across the country, including in Zagreb's main square. There, artists performed for about 100 visiting foreign leaders until midnight, when big fireworks and the singing of Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" — EU's anthem — marked the official entry into the bloc.
Customs posts were removed from Croatia's borders with EU neighbors Slovenia and Hungary, while EU signs and flags were put on its borders with non-EU states Bosnia, Serbia and Montenegro.
The festivities were much more modest and less jubilant than when Bulgaria and Romania — EU's poorest states — became members. With the entry, Croatia becomes the third poorest country in the EU.

As I mentioned last week, Quinn absolutely loved the hobo sacks we sewed for her little friends' birthdays. She loved placing her toys inside, pulling them out, shaking the bag all about, and dragging it around the house with her. Naturally, I just had to run to Joann's quick as can be and find some fabric to sew Quinn her own bag.
Some of the juvenile fabrics were on sale 40 percent off, so for a mere $3, this hobo sack was as good as made. Just as I did before, I cut up an old t-shirt to make straps for the bag and followed Dana's tutorial here. In about an hour, Quinn's hobo sack was finished and ready for shaking!

Letter from Nigeria
According to the author, oil pipelines with low tech-or no tech-surveillance technologies are another example of digital divide.
When the underground oil pipeline burst in this lush village in the Niger River delta last August the workers at Shell, whose subsidiary pumps the crude, were on strike. Two weeks passed before the spill was halted. Many thousands of barrels worth poured into the lowlands, creeks, and ponds that dominate the landscape.
Then the fires came. The oil burned for weeks, speeding the cleanup but making the air dark and difficult. Wildlife vanished. The monkeys ran deep into the bush, and the crocodiles fled from the waters. A rabbit breeder in the village watched his herd expire. "Shell killed my rabbit farm," he says.
A local fisherman named Prince Eleru is one of many who has since set his nets aside. The fish are gone. As a gesture of good will, Shell has temporarily added Prince to its local security force. He earns fifty dollars a month, a significant sum here. Along with seven or eight local men, he patrols the pipelines, looking for seeping oil-or saboteurs.
That's about as high tech as international oil corporate operations get in Nigeria: human eyes looking for oil leaks. In an industry in which hundreds of millions of dollars are spent in developing technologies to discover oil under the ground, visual inspection remains the state of the art in monitoring it in the pipelines above ground in this African country.
And the technology does exist. There are many oil pipeline surveillance technologies currently on the market, in particular, a host of fiber optic sensors that detect stress in the pipelines and drilling equipment through subtle shifts in the optic wavelength. Researches at the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, TX have developed harmonic sensors that can be placed inside of pipes via the flow of oil, then attach themselves to the interior to measure outside force. And over the last two years ChevronTexaco has invested tens of millions of dollars in startup companies that design pipeline sensor networks.
Oil pipeline operators in the U.S., of course, have a large incentive to spot or prevent leaks quickly. Spills can leave them subject to costly lawsuits. But in Nigeria, companies like Shell and ChevronTexaco aren't vulnerable to such potential payouts. Here, the courts and government rarely order payments to citizens damaged by oil spills-or even order companies to clean up after themselves. Because of the limited penalties for pipeline leaks, foreign oil companies in Nigeria stick with the low-tech, old-fashion method of human surveillance.
But even the simplest technologies can't seem to prevent the simplest problems-like theft. In Nigeria, where Shell is the largest operator, 50,000 barrels of oil go missing from its pipeline network every day (out of a daily production of 600,000 barrels). Maart Wink, the Dutch national in charge of Shell's oil production in Nigeria, estimates that theft accounts for 85 percent of the missing crude.
Two years ago, a disgruntled resident of Ughelli, a town in the heart of the oil-rich delta, removed a central piece of an abandoned pumping station, causing a huge spill that polluted surrounding wetlands. While Shell insists the station was guarded, the guards were curiously absent during the attack, "probably paid off to disappear by the attacker," says Bobo Brown, a Shell spokesman.
Not only did Shell fail to have a security camera at the site, or an alarm of any sort, the company had never installed a device to automatically shut down the pump in the event of serious tampering. Brown says an automated shutoff valve wasn't warranted since the manner of sabotage was, "so unusual, it was like September 11." Yet he also concedes the company can do more to both prevent spills and clean them up when they occur.

Editor's note: An outdated column from the Woodson Art Museum was inadvertently submitted and published Tuesday in the Wausau Daily Herald. Following is the column intended for publication this week, with updated event information.
The calendar may say we're on the cusp of fall, but summer temperatures finally have arrived after mimicking autumn for weeks. Whatever the weather, savor the season and carry the fun into fall by visiting the Woodson Art Museum often.
"Birds in Art" opening festivities on Saturday, Sept. 7, offer excitement on multiple fronts this year. Once again, early birds who visit the Museum on Saturday morning are rewarded with the opportunity to meet more than five dozen "Birds in Art" artists from throughout the world.
? Meet the Artists, 9 a.m. to noon: A terrific opportunity to talk with artists about their artwork and inspiration and get your "Birds in Art" catalogue and poster signed.
? Master Artist Talk, 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.: Terry Miller offers an A-to-Z window into his inspiration and provides context for viewing his work.
? Artists in Action, 10:45 a.m. to noon: How do artists do it? Find out as you watch several "Birds in Art" artists work in various mediums in the sculpture garden.
The 2013 "Birds in Art" exhibition features 125 all-new artworks, including 14 graphite drawings by this year's Master Wildlife Artist Terry Miller. Working purely in pencil, Terry creates lushly textured and detailed drawings.
In addition, four new exhibitions featuring artwork from the Museum's collection can be enjoyed. A dozen large paintings by Owen J. Gromme are juxtaposed with more than 30 pencil drawings and watercolor studies to provide a peek into the artist's creative process. Gromme, a Wisconsin legend, is known as the "father of 'Birds in Art'" because he served as a curator of the Museum's inaugural exhibition in 1976. The re-creation of Gromme's studio complements the paintings and preparatory works on view.
Gromme's love of the outdoors is echoed in "Dawn to Dusk: The Sporting Spirit in America." More than two dozen paintings by Ogden Pleissner, Lynn Bogue Hunt, Frank Benson, A.L. Ripley and others demonstrate the wide-ranging influence of many facets of the hunting and the sporting life.
Two other exhibitions - "Follow the Light" and "Natural Wonders" - respectively focus on the historic masterworks in the Museum's collection and a selection of small-scale works donated to the Museum by artists 20 years ago.
Exceptional indoor bird watching continues throughout the nine weeks of "Birds in Art" and beyond in the permanent collection galleries.
You'll find many reasons in every season to visit the Woodson Art Museum and sculpture garden. Visit www.lywam.org, call the Museum at 715-845-7010, and follow us on Facebook, Twitter and the Museum's weekly blog "Woodson Wanderings" for details about upcoming events and programs for all, complementing exhibition themes at the always-free Woodson Art Museum.

In a standard contract, Tony Romo playing basketball would be OK
Since some of you have asked about whether Tony Romo playing basketball in the off-season is a violation of a standard contract, I tracked down the language in the contract.
It's Paragraph 3. Here goes:
3. OTHER ACTIVITIES. Without prior written consent of the Club, Player will not play football or engage in activities related to football otherwise than for Club or engage in any activity other than football which may involve a significant risk of personal injury. Player represents that he has special, exceptional and unique knowledge, skill, ability, and experience as a football player, the loss of which cannot be estimated with any certainty and cannot be fairly or adequately compensated by damages. Player therefore agrees that Club will have the right, in addition to any other right which Club may possess, to enjoin Player by appropriate proceedings from playing football or engaging in football-related activities other than for Club or from engaging in any activity other than football which may involve a significant risk of personal injury.
Does playing basketball "involve a significant risk of personal injury?" No.
And if Romo can't play basketball in the off-season, then just about every player on the roster can't play either. Most of them play in some sort of rec league locally in the off-season. If basketball is taboo, then so too is playing racquetball and the Cowboys have two racquetball courts in their facility that the players often use.
Some teams will write specific no-nos into contracts, like motorcycle riding or skydiving but basketball is not among them. Neither is soccer.

|The Hornets Nest must have been of some importance since the Confederates threw 62 cannon at it. Was Prentice a hero? In my opinion, probably. I am given to understand that Chamberlain was not considered much of a hero immediately after Gettysburg, his fame came many years later. Maybe the same is true of Prentice. In any event, had Prentice and his men not held that line for as long as they did, Pittsburg Landing might well have fallen, we will never know for sure. The one thing that cannot be denied is that it played a major role in the battle and maybe the Civil War itself. If his line had broken early and Shiloh lost, there can be little doubt that Halleck would have kicked Grant out of the army, "admiring" Grant as he did. As it was, he demoted Grant for not doing a good enough job. If that had happened, would Lincoln have found a General to do what Grant eventually did?

Fascinating work, protection as well as becoming valued tend to be best associated with workers listings with regard to making work fulfillment within the modern place of work. And it is which Sensation your work is actually secure that actually talks in order to the modern work environment.
We authored an item within Human Resources exactly where we documented information through a continuing task associated with my own. I'd for around annually already been accumulating information about the family member need for 10 historical elements which investigation recognizes because substantial within impacting on people's inspiration. Today's best some work motivators
1. Fascinating function
Within 08, 1 persuasive results of the study had been which fascinating function experienced, in contrast to within prior research, for example 1 through Carolyn Wiley within 1997, outdone repay the very best place with regard to the very first time. Within the brand new information this remains, therefore individuals nevertheless desire to be performing something which compels as well as activates all of them.
2. Work protection
The most important mover within the desk is most likely work protection as much as two through 6. Within 08 We contended how the reduce need for work protection, in contrast to previously investigation, had been a good sign associated with people's readiness to interact inside a profile profession as well as anticipation they'd which because their own profession evolves they may proceed businesses regularly. This particular right now has already been the short-lived trend.
Why, the solution appears to lay in the present financial doubt. Whenever we talked about this particular about the Doctorate running a business Management, the actual look at had been which you can easily low cost the importance of getting employment once the economic climate is actually buoyant as well as presently there appear to be plenty of possibilities available, however during the last 12 months, along with greater joblessness presently position from 7. 8% as well as normal information associated with redundancies as well as company closures individuals might undoubtedly end up being a lot keener to hold on to the actual work they've.
3. Complete understanding associated with function carried out
Acknowledgement (complete understanding associated with function carried out) right now will be rated much more extremely compared to monetary benefits (great income). We believe the actual facts from the accessibility to benefits as well as spend boosts in the present environment are actually getting a direct effect right here. Nevertheless these people each stay effective resources with regard to inspiration. Teacher associated with Company Management from Harvard, as well as co-workers recognizes each acknowledgement as well as benefits is essential motivators. However all of us additionally understand that it's the actual acknowledgement which issues the majority of. Within an test exactly where college students had been compensated in a different way for any easy pc dependent job, Teacher Serta Ariely through Fight it out College, as well as their co-worker Wayne Heyman, obviously demonstrated how the finest overall performance arrived not really using the greatest incentive however exactly where college students had been operating exclusively like a favor as well as for that many thanks from the investigator. Therefore make sure to give you thanks for any work congratulations!
4. What's much less essential these days?
The actual large mover heading down the actual graph had been great operating problems, right down to 9 through 5. We may translate this particular since the switch aspect associated with reduce work protection, along with individuals becoming apparently much more prepared to endure bad problems in the present atmosphere instead of proceed as well as look for much better problems somewhere else.
5. Best suggestion with regard to supervisors
What exactly will this particular imply with regard to supervisors? This definitely doesn't recommend we ought to reduce the conventional associated with operating problems. It will claim that a few of the basic principles remain exactly the same. Individuals nevertheless would like persuasive function as well as benefits as well as acknowledgement with regard to performing exactly the same.
Display your own understanding within significant methods.
Recognize the actual initiatives associated with other people, this really is much more essential provided the actual demands how the present financial atmosphere locations upon workers.
Spend some time along with workers detailing the actual businesses present placement therefore helping maintain all of them knowledgeable concerning the security of the work.
End up being daring. Guarantee absolutely no redundancies, even though income or even earnings tend to be strike delivering a definite transmission at work protection entrance.
Proceed individuals around the business to satisfy short-term requirements, this can assist fulfill problems right now as well as place your company within an actually more powerful placement once the up-turn will arrive.
College students about the Doctorate running a business Management experienced which performing all of this will probably a lot more than repay it's dividend within the devotion as well as dedication this produces. Certainly building workers abilities, providing them with persuasive function as well as producing all of them really feel valued may be the method forward?

PPM Energy Secures Another Contract For Klondike III
|in News Departments > Projects & Contracts
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. (PG&E), a San Francisco-based utility, has entered into a 15-year agreement with PPM Energy, a Portland, Ore.-based developer of wind power projects, to purchase renewable wind energy from PPM's Klondike III Wind Project in Sherman County, Oregon.
The Klondike project - currently under construction - will deliver up to 85 MW of renewable energy to PG&E's customers, according to the utility.
This agreement follows a 15-year wind energy contract signed by PG&E and PPM Energy in 2006 whereby PG&E began delivering energy from the Shiloh Wind Power Project in Solano County, California. In addition, Puget Sound Energy (PSE), a Bellevue, Wash.-based electric utility, recently signed a 20-year contract with PPM to acquire 50 MW of power output from Klondike III.

December 1, 2015
A new round of storms is battering some parts of the state that are still trying to recover from Tuesday's severe weather. During the storms, a tornado was also caught on tape.
"You can actually see the funnel cloud caught between those trees", says Sam Marcum, describing a video he shot outside his Laurel County home on Tuesday.
Sam Marcum saw it all on Tuesday. A funnel cloud quickly approached his home that he caught on tape. As the winds picked up, he knew exactly what he was seeing.
"It ended up being a tornado", says Marcum.
Sam Marcum says he quickly took cover with his family in their basement. Although this funnel didn't cause damage, in nearby Williamsburg the storms knocked out electricity and toppled some trees.
"Looks like the smaller limbs are what got the roof", says Lynn Harris examining her mother's home for the first time.
Although Harris says cleanup will take some time to her mom's home, which now has several trees on top of it, she says she's just thankful nobody was home or hurt.
"I'm just shocked it's this bad. I'm just happy we weren't here", says Lynn Harris.
As for the power situation in Whitley County, we are told as of now all power has been restored.

Dude manswers just said that a guy can only cum up to eight times in one day. I'm gonna prove that show wrong.
my neighbors are having lesbo sex right now.
I just followed a trail of feathers and glitter to class. Today better be fucking magical.
he just invited me over for the 3 p's...pepsi pizza and porn...I'm gonna marry him
Using Dr. Seuss quotes to ask me how badly I want your penis is not appropriate.
hey I'm just gonna fall asleep in the bathroom at the library call me when you're done with class
believe me... letting the man that delivered you from your mother's vagina do shots off your stomach is really fucking awkward.
This frat boy drinking a forty and wearing a pussy patrol shirt just ran out in front of my car. I should have used less brakes.
I just got a ticket for the snow penis we made in our front yard.
When i tried to give you something that wasn't tequila...like water....you kept saying it was against your religion.
just woke up to overhearing her on the phone saying "yeah we fucked last night, that makes 42." should i get tested?
At McDonald's last night the guy gave you the wrong kind of McFlurry, so you screamed at him, "YOU MCFUCKED UP."
This is not a drunk text right now. This is an i want your dick text. There is a difference.
Next time i try to unbutton my R.A's shirt with my teeth, please stop me

that shit musta been laced I laughed for two hours and everyone looked like penguins
where'd the toddler underneathe the beer pong table come from?
he wanted me to put the condom on for him. I was high and couldn't figure it out.. so instead we played xbox.
he asked me out through an event invitation on facebook, the title read Romantic Dinner For 2
Had sex with him. My tampon is now in my brain. May need surgery.
She has 2500 facebook friends. I probably should have used a condom.
Her sex list was a LOT longer than mine. She tried to justify it by saying '4 of those don't count because they were in the gang bang'.
drunk at some random house party. come get me. i thought i pulled my dick out to go piss... it was my left nut. im soaked.
So we tried to 69 with him on top. NEVER TRY IT. His balls were in my eyes and it was terrifying.
i just sent my parents are gone come over I have condoms to my mom because Derek changed my numbers while I was passed out
I'm like a wolly mammoth down there. what do I tell him?
Just shaved my legs with toilet water in a walgreens bathroom. I am so classy.
I was watching truelife I'm transgendered. This tranny already got a date a week after getting a vagina. I've had a vagina my entire life and can't get a date.
he screamed my twitter name while we were having sex.
I mistook a propane tank for a keg.
She called me Spock and proceeded to ask me to 'teach her the ways of the force'. I just couldn't do it after that. No way am I fucking a girl who can't tell the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek.
Hooked up with my old baby sitter last night, so what do I do? As I was sucking her tits I decided it would be a good idea to say " goo goo gah gah"....it wasn't a good idea.
My morning has consisted of lying in a fetal position, eating a whole tub of ben and jerry's, talking to my cat, and setting all of our pictures on fire. Does that answer your question?
if i found out she had a dick after i got head, does that still make me gay?
i am high, trapped with a bunch of skaters and asians watching a cat on lsd on youtube, the girl on the couch next to me is getting fingered, and there is lady gaga playing. god has forgetten about me
Why is it that you only get to have sex when you haven't shaved your legs in six weeks and are wearing period stained granny panties?

Everytime I cough, my tampon falls out a little bit. Does this mean I'm loose?
found an unmarked box of photos in the garage, they were from when my parents first got together. It was fun laughing at their ridiculous eighties outfits and hairstyles, until I found a pic of my dad. naked. with a boner.
guys don't fucking realize that the only place girl like their faces jizzed on is in PORN, and that "squirting" is piss. JUST FUCKING PISS.
My dad just knocked on my door and told me that my vibrator was too loud
so he stopped for a second, looked up at me and said in a really creepy voice, "I can has cheeseburger?" and then went back to eating me out.

we couldnt find her phone in the morning so i called it and found it under the bed. my name came up as 'regret'
It took him longer to undo my bra than he lasted..

You got in a fight last night?
Yeah! Some dude in the bathroom...he was standing there and I notice he's got the same shirt as me on so I'm like...dude you should have called me, we look like idiots...he didn't say anything...so i got pissed and hit him...completely decimated and my hand was all bloody and covered with glass afterward...weird dude, never saw him again that night or since.

i took some ambien and I TRIPPED out...i went into my mom's room to say goodnight and i don't remember anything...she said that i got really pissed at her because we were living in the Keebler elf tree and she was visiting other trees, then i started laughing hysterically and she goes "whats so funny?" and i go "there are 7 people sitting on my knees" and she goes "doesn't that hurt?" and i said "no we're sitting in a bowl" and then i capped it off and said "join the crazy train bro" and passed out.
Sex on bubble wrap = best decision ever.

Fellows Listing & Bios
Barbara Safriet
Ms. Safriet served as Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Lecturer in Law at Yale Law School from 1988 to 2007. She is currently teaching as a Visiting Professor of Health Law at Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon. Professor Safriet was selected as the Inaugural Honorary Fellow of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners based upon her many years of support and advocacy for nurse practitioners. Her esteemed career as an advocate of nurse practitioners started with her seminal paper in the Yale Law Journal in 1993 entitled Health Care Dollars and Regulatory Sense: The Role of Advanced Practice Nursing. This publication began the current conversation of the value of advanced practice nursing from a quality and economic perspective. Her most recent work is published in the groundbreaking IOM report The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health entitled Federal Options for Maximizing the Value of Advanced Practice Nurses in Providing Quality, Cost Effective Health Care. Largely due to this important paper, nurse practitioners were given the recognition needed to become providers in the Affordable Care Act. At AANP, she has served as a consultant on regulatory issues, plenary speaker on topics of vital concern to our members, and has assisted with selection of organizational leaders. Professor Safriet continues to write legal opinions on local, state, and federal levels that voice support for important issues, such as removing regulatory barriers to NP practice and reimbursement.

Trending with Rob Hunter: Barack Obama, Rob Ford and Denver police
Here are the trending stories from the week that you need to know:
You may have thought Obama already had his worst week ever. Nope. It keeps getting worse. All because of health care. He needs to get this thing in gear for his own sake.
Speaking of worst weeks ever, Toronto Mayor Rob Ford needs to go hide somewhere. Not only did he admit to smoking crack-cocaine, but also that he bought the illegal substance too. Also, he might want to stop letting people record his after-hour activities.
The Denver police are now getting calls from people in apartment complexes complaining about the marijuana odors from their neighbors. Wait until you see the device they paid thousands of dollars for.

Carl Bergmann (1821-1876)
Carl Bergmann, an eminent orchestra conductor as well as composer and cellist, shone for his daring in presenting the latest music from Europe. The eminent conductor directed most of the New York Philharmonic Society concerts from 1858 until 1873. Bergmann led the German Opera company in the first U.S. performance of Wagner's "Tannhauser" in 1859 at the Stadt-Theater and directed the first U.S. performance of Meyerbeer's "L'Africaine" in 1865. The conductor suffered from alcoholism after 1870, but his orchestra members' affection for him safeguarded his position. Bergmann managed to establish German music as serious art in the U.S. The Ernest Jordan studio in New York published this engraving of the artist, circa 1865.

MIAMI (AP) - A family feud over rights to use of late reggae superstar Bob Marley's name and image has been settled in Florida federal court.
A one-page filing recently said the dispute was resolved between Marley's half-brother Richard Booker and a Bahamian company that represents Marley's widow, Rita Marley, and his children.
Terms of the agreement were not filed as of Friday.
The lawsuit filed last year asked a judge to order Booker to stop using Marley's name and image to promote a music festival, a restaurant in Jamaica and other business ventures.
Marley died in 1981 of cancer at age 36. His classic reggae recordings include "I Shot The Sheriff," ''No Woman No Cry," ''Jamming" and "Exodus."

November 30, 2015
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - Court documents indicate that authorities believe the killing of Ralph McNeill - also known as Skip "the Critter Man" - was a murder for hire.
But police are saying little about any possible motive for the killing.
Authorities say three suspects have been arrested in connection
with the Jan. 18 slaying of McNeill, the longtime operator of an
animal trapping business in Montgomery.
Court records state that the homicide was part of an agreement
between the three suspects "to kill the victim for payment."
The court records do not state who is accused of carrying out the actual killing or who is suspected of supplying the payment.
McNeill's body was found near a burning trailer, and his truck had been set on fire.
Court records say he had been shot and stabbed.

Les Menuires – France
Set in the heart of the 3 Vallées Les Menuires is part of the largest ski area in the world. The resort is linked with the smaller village of Saint Martin de Belleville and as such offers a diverse range of skiing, dining and accomodation options.
Ski area
The mountain scenary is spectacular with sumptuous views from the prestigious summits like le Mont de la Chambre (2850m), la Pointe de la Masse (2804m), le Roc des 3 Marches (2704 m) and la Tougnète (2430 m).
The resort
However les Menuires itself is purpose built resort and looks like an assortment of multi-storey car parks standing out on the snow. It must also be one of the world's most functional resorts, offering good value for money compared to the other mega resorts nearby.
Getting there
Located between Val Thorens above and the charming village St Martin de Belleville below, Les Menuires is ideally located for those looking for good access to the extensive and varied slopes of Les Trois Vallees. The easiest access is via the airport at Chambéry (one hour away) or train to Moutiers (20km). Read more...
Les Menuires is a 'Family Plus' resort. This French accreditation recognises ski resorts that offer extensive activities, children's clubs, ski lessons, courses and facilities for families.
Things to do
The resort has a large selection of shops, bars and restaurants. The village centres of La Croisette and Bruyeres are where you will find most of the shops. And those two centres also offer an outdoor ice rink and heated pool to tempt non-skiers, or those with more energy after a day's activities. As with most purpose built French resorts, the quality of nightlife will largely depend on who is in the resort and when but it is never legendary.
- Spend a lazy afternoon on the lovely terrace at Les 4 Vents and enjoy the views
- Have fun on the Big Air Bag
- If you have children with you head to the Fun Park for a fun packed afternoon
- Have a relaxing day walking in the area - free maps and routes from the Tourist Office
- Sport and Wellness Centre offers everything from Finnish saunas to beauty treatment

Just their experience and what they thought about them. It really doesn't mattter if they took the time to learn Japanese because I've played Japanese games without any knowledge of the language and still be able to play and enjoy the game as a whole even if I didn't know what half the characters were saying or doing.
For every two minutes of glamour, there are eight hours of hard work."
@Whoever doesn't get it: The dude just wants to know if anybody's played the games in their original Japanese form. Damn, it's that easy.

I think jubeh is just being sarcastic xD and as for what GunZ said, that's the whole point of the Thread

Yes, not translated and still crisp in Japanese format.
For every two minutes of glamour, there are eight hours of hard work."
Before it was released in English, my bro downloaded Final Fantasy Dissidia for the psp. It was in Japanese, but you were still able to play it once you figured it out. It would have been better if my bro's R button wasn't broken.
Also a friend got a burnt copy of DragonballGT Final Bout for us. It was in Japanese (Goku and Gohan sounded like a woman *shudder*) but being a fighting game, you could still play it. I guess you might count those as playing games in Japanese, but they were eventually dubbed into English.
You've been CHARMED!

His style just has a little something new and extra to it, but as these things happsn with graffiti artists, we don't know a whole lot about him besides FLICKR accounts of his work. But this interview LUSH did with AerosolPlanet shows a bit of his wit. Watch the video after the jump . . .

Zachary Bowers, an Independence man suspected of killing his father Monday, is in police custody, Meredith Rodriguez reports. David Bowers, 54, of Rogers, Ark., was found dead in a home in the 1900 block of Quail Creek Drive about 10:30 that night. The younger Bowers is 22. More here from KSHB.
UPDATE: The Jackson County prosecutor's office has charged Bowers with second-degree murder and armed criminal action. According to court documents, another one of the victim's sons called 911 to report the shooting and told police that Zachary Bowers had been drinking.
He also gave Zachary's cellphone number to police. When the department called the phone, a man identifying himself as Zack answered and said that his dad had thrown the gun in his hand and told him to shoot. (Whether that was definitely Zachary Bowers on the phone isn't spelled out in the court documents.)
