REDDING, Calif. (AP) - Crews continue to make progress as they battle a wildfire along Interstate 5 in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest in Northern California.
Fire officials say the Salt Creek fire is 75 per cent contained after consuming 980 acres, or about 1.5 square miles. Officials expect to have the blaze surrounded by Sunday evening.
The fire is burning near the interstate, about 20 miles north of Redding. Officials are cautioning drivers about smoke in the area, but say Interstate 5 is open in both directions.
Evacuations for the area of Lakeview Estates have been lifted.
The blaze began in the median of I-5 on Wednesday afternoon and is believed to have been sparked by human activity.

Marist College's Khallid Hart takes a shot during a game against Monmouth on Jan. 30 at McCann Arena.
Even though his team bowed out less than 24 hours earlier, Khallid Hart earned a souvenir from his first on-court experience at the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference tournament, one of two annual basketball awards the league bestowed upon Marist College on Friday.
The MAAC's coaches voted the redshirt freshman the league's men's basketball Rookie of the Year, as announced at an awards ceremony at the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame. Red Foxes senior guard Leanne Ockenden was given the league's women's basketball Defensive Player of the Year honor for the second consecutive season.

Several questions about Southern Pacific's 0-6-0 switchers. I model SP on my layout. I know most SP steam locomotives burned oil and most had the Vandy tender. Were the Vandy tenders on the 0-6-0's proportionally smaller? Was there a "standard" size for all Vandy tenders? Would a
Pacific 4-6-2's Vandy tender be the same size as an 0-6-0's tender? I looked on Espee Railfan's website, which is very informative, but I can't tell.
There is a method to my madness. I have a Premier MTH Texas Pacific 0-6-0 switcher. It has a coal tender. I also have a brand new K-Line SP Vandy tender. It is semi-scale. I was thinking of repainting, re-lettering and re-numbering this locomotive and using the K-Line SP Vandy tender with it to make it an SP 0-6-0 switcher. I'm wondering if the K-line tender would be the correct size. Matt
Railway termini are our gates to the glorious and the unknown. Through them we pass out into adventure and sunshine, to them, alas! we return.Edward M. Forster
Matt, all were different. The K-line tender is a little under scale for most SP steamers but I think work well with the 0-6-0. Some of these switchers had whale back tenders. Anyway if you like the looks of it, do it. It's your soon to be railroad. Most of the pictures I've seen of the 0-6-0s have a little shorter tender than the K-line. Don
The tenders were smaller than the ones used on the larger engines for the most part. Most had cylindrical tanks with or without raised oil compartments.
As an SP fan you owe it to yourself to get a copy of Guy Dunscomb's book "A Century of Southern Pacific Steam Locomotives" (aka the bible on SP steam).
At one time or another during their long careers these SP yard switchers had several different types of tenders; sausage, rectangular, and vandy - see Guy Dunscumb's book 'A Century of Southern Pacific Steam Locomotives' for several photos. Originally this model started out as an Atlas Burlington 0-6-0 which was then repainted by Jeff Sohn a few years ago to resemble an SP switcher. And except for the incorrect shape of the middle dome on top of the boiler, it looks pretty decent shuttling back and forth in my freight yard. And yes its a 2-rail model not 3-rail.

Lottery Odds
When you buy tickets from the Lottery Concierge Service you should be aware that each lottery plays differently. Rules vary across the different lotteries, as do the way the games are played. And these differences will affect the lottery odds, giving you more chance of winning in some draws than others. However, a decrease in the odds of winning usually comes with significantly enhanced jackpot prizes.
Although the odds of winning large prizes some lotteries seem highly unlikely, the upper tier prizes means that you shouldn't dismiss buying tickets for draws with difficult odds but instead consider putting together a lottery ticket syndicate to increase your chances of winning the bumper jackpots.
Below are some of our favourite lottery draws and the odds of winning the bigger prizes.
Euromillions Lottery
Match 5 + 2: Odds - 1 in 116,531,800
Powerball Lottery
Match 5 + Powerball: Odds - 1 in 175,223,510
MegaMillions Lottery
Match 5 + Mega Ball: Odds: 1 in 258,890,850
SuperEnalotto Italy
Match 6: Odds - 1 in 622,614,630
While winning these lotteries might seem unlikely, remember that lottery jackpots are won every week. Even the SuperEnalotto, which has the hardest odds of any lottery draw, gets scooped by someone who beats the odds and finds themselves holding the winning lottery ticket. As they say, you have to be in it to win it!

Who Is Ralph Grizzle?
He's the Avid Cruiser, of course.
One of the best known names in cruise writing, Ralph has been covering the industry for well over a decade and has sailed on more than 100 vessels. — Gene Sloan, USA Today
I began my journalistic career at the age of 32, following the conclusion of my 'sabbatical decade.' From 1980 through 1990, I bicycled across America, pedaled through Europe and island-hopped the South Pacific.
After backpacking through Bali, bussing through Java, hopping a boat to Singapore and crossing Malaysia to Thailand, I flew into Burma, tramped to Dhaka and endured a 32-hour train ride from calamitous Calcutta to bustling Bombay.
From there, I hopped a plane for Greece and traveled to Switzerland before returning home, where I settled, quite naturally, into a career of travel writing.
"Your magazine is the best cruise magazine and also one of the best — if not the best — travel magazines I have ever read."
I make my home in Asheville, North Carolina and live part of the year near Copenhagen, Denmark.
When in Asheville, I enjoy mountain biking, hiking, lingering in coffee shops and frequent trips to the gorgeous Biltmore Estate.
When in Scandinavia, I enjoy biking, lingering in coffee shops and trying to learn Scandinavian words.
To get home in Scandinavia (from Copenhagen's International Airport to Helsingborg, Sweden), I go to Hamlet's Castle and hang a right. No kidding!
My work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, USA Today and numerous consumer magazines. The North American Travel Journalism Association, awarded my article, Ship Shape, which appeared in the September 2005 issue of Hemispheres, in the category of 'Best Cruise Writing.'
I am the author of four books, including Remembering Charles Kuralt,' a biography that Publisher's Weekly called 'a sweet and lovely homage, a welcome commemoration.'
But enough about wonderful me. My goal is to provide you with content that engages you and compels you to return often. Thanks for stopping by . . .
Bon Voyage, Ralph Grizzle

St. Francis of Assisi Medals
St. Francis is the popular patron saint of animals, ecologists and merchants. St Francis medals are often placed on a family pet's collar for protection.
Francis was born of a wealthy family. At the age of 20, he left his family and forfeited his wealth for a life of poverty serving God. He was known as 'The Little Poor Man.' Francis was also known as receiving the gift of stigmata from God; he physically retained the wounds of Jesus Christ in his hands and feet. Francis of Assisi was also very fond of nature, a fondness and understanding that was apparent to nature itself, as wild animals were tamed in his presence; he is often pictured and remembered surrounded by nature.
In the Middle Ages, people who were believed to be possessed by Beelzebub called upon St. Francis for assistance. It was believed that St. Francis was his opposite number in heaven.

With the help of volunteers, they stenciled the bodies of 9,000 fallen soldiers and civilians onto the sand of the Normandy beach in Arromanches, reports the BBC, which provides a time-lapse video of the project. (The Daily Mail has a collection of still images.) "All around us there are relics of the Second World War, but the one thing that is missing are the people that actually died," says one of the artists, Jamie Wardley. As planned, all the silhouettes were later washed away in the tide. A screen shot of one of the beach silhouettes. (This one was done prior to the event as a demonstration.)

National Forest needs to be logged
To the Editor:
Thank you for your article on Dr. Bales water yield study. Everybody loves trees, but we have loved them so much that the Sierras are overwhelmed and over grown. The National Forest needs to be logged to achieve historic density levels that provided for snow pack and were fire resilient.
I was disappointed that this paper failed to question the misleading statements provided by the local environmental expert. Two statements made are particularly troubling. One is that "forest thinning doesn't ever provide a cost benefit to taxpayers," and the other is his jab at Republicans in Congress for not appropriating enough funds.
Historically, this county was sustained by timber receipts from the National Forest. The government owns 80 percent of the land mass of Tuolumne County and pay $0 in property taxes. The timber receipts paid for our roads and schools, which were in much better shape when we used to log the forest. It seems to me that taxpayers in Tuolumne County used to benefit from logging on the Stanislaus.
The second fallacy is that money is needed from Congress to log the forest. Private landowners don't receive a hand out from taxpayers to effectively manage their land. Why can't the government do the same? Two reasons. The first is that the process to actually get a timber sale to market is a bureaucratic NEPA nightmare. The second is that forests are being managed upon an arbitrary diameter limit of 30 inches. There is no peer reviewed, scientific evidence that supports this diameter limit. A larger, more profitable tree must be harvested. Doing this would solve the funding issues, improve the density in the forest, and increase water yield. It doesn't take an act of congress to manage our forest, it just takes common sense.
Shaun Crook
Congratulations to county supervisors
To the Editor:
I'd like to offer my congratulations to Tuolumne County Supervisors Karl Rodefer and Randy Hanvelt who recently became Fellows through the CSAC Institute for Excellence in County Government. They are among just 28 county supervisors or senior executives from around the state who have earned that title. The benefits of continuing education are well recognized in many professions including attorneys, physicians, and educators. The CSAC institute applies the same concept to leaders at the County level, offering a variety of courses on management, communications, budgeting, problem solving, negotiations and other skills that make for more effective local government leaders. Fellows must complete at least 60 hours of coursework at the Institute just to become eligible for the program. Becoming a Fellow requires several more days' worth of challenging coursework on contemporary practices in public sector leadership and engagement with the Institute faculty. Institute Fellows are better prepared to serve their county and lead their communities. They also offer the benefit of their expertise to other Institute students, both as returning faculty and informal mentoring. Congratulations again to Supervisors Rodefer and Hanvelt for this achievement and their commitment to public service.
Matt Cate
Executive Director,

'Tis the season
To the Editor:
Dear Driver,
I hope you read The Union Democrat or all this is a wasted letter. No, maybe not wasted if other drivers read it.
All I know about you is that at 4:55 p.m. on June 23 you pulled out in front of my motorcycle in a white car at Via Este. I don't know if you are a male or female, nor do I know the make or model or license number.
I had slowed and braked for the silver SUV turning right in front of me and lo-and-behold, there you were turning left in front of me onto Highway 108. I had to lock up my brakes and go into a skid to avoid T-boning you.
I did not come home from Vietnam and survive 35 years of logging to be taken out by someone like you. If I were not a "defensive" rider, you could have killed me.
I suggest whatever your age or gender, you start paying attention. What you did was a CHP citable offense. You invaded my space. I had the right of way.
Please pay attention and "share the road." 'Tis the season for motorcycles.
Doug Heseman

I wanted to say some things about the the notion of a team not caring enough as an explanation for a disappointing performance, and why I am so dismissive of it.
I don't dismiss the notion that a player or players or perhaps even an entire team may not give, to summarize the argument, '100% Effort Every Game', and all that statement contains within. I don't dismiss the notion because I understand rosters are filled with human beings. Why I am dismissive of it as an argument as to why the team is losing or not losing is because this particular condition is not specific to the Flames.
Every team, in every league, is undoubtedly guilty of 'not caring' during specific periods of time. Again, they are staffed by human beings.
The thing with human beings, though, is that they respond to the structural markets presented to them. Behavior is shaped by what is possible; the 'Everyone was doing it' rationalization that the human mind is known to generate as a response to the feeling of guilt is a biological affirmation of this argument, if I may. The seemingly habitual creation of economic bubbles is another affirmation. People seek out market inefficiencies in order to exploit them for their benefit; we do it as a species, we do it as communities, we do it as individuals. Because we are human.
If the Flames are 'not caring' at a materially relevant degree greater than the rest of the league it could be because the players collected on the roster have a deep and fundamental flaw to their characters, OR it could be that the market conditions presented to them by their employer permits such behaviour to be indulged in with either a surplus to or neutral effect to the the players 'benefit' (utility?).
I'm hesitant to even bring that up, because a silly person might read that and go 'oh see you believe the team doesn't care' and I don't want that distracting from the real, fundamental reason the team stinks, which is that it isn't overwhelmingly talented at forward, is sloppy and soft defensively and it is getting bad goaltending. But I do want to point out that if the team truly doesn't care, it would be because the people who run the team allow them not to care.
Furthermore, I think Ken King should be fired.

Dir. Carl Bessai. Canada . 2007. 100 min.With Normal , Canadian filmmaker Carl Bessai delivers his most accomplished film yet. An intense psychological portrait of lives shattered by a sudden death, it does everything well. Although it explores familiar terrain - comparisons with the daisy-chain of Paul Haggis' Crash are unavoidable - Bessai and co-screenwriter Travis McDonald have focused on fewer personalities ...

The role of PPARγ in carbon nanotube-elicited granulomatous lung inflammation

Although granulomatous inflammation is a central feature of many disease processes, cellular mechanisms of granuloma formation and persistence are poorly understood. Carbon nanoparticles, which can be products of manufacture or the environment, have been associated with granulomatous disease. This paper utilizes a previously described carbon nanoparticle granuloma model to address the issue of whether peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), a nuclear transcription factor and negative regulator of inflammatory cytokines might play a role in granulomatous lung disease. PPARγ is constitutively expressed in alveolar macrophages from healthy individuals but is depressed in alveolar macrophages of patients with sarcoidosis, a prototypical granulomatous disease. Our previous study of macrophage-specific PPARγ KO mice had revealed an intrinsically inflammatory pulmonary environment with an elevated pro-inflammatory cytokines profile as compared to wild-type mice. Based on such observations we hypothesized that PPARγ expression would be repressed in alveolar macrophages from animals bearing granulomas induced by MWCNT instillation.
Wild-type C57Bl/6 and macrophage-specific PPARγ KO mice received oropharyngeal instillations of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) (100 μg). Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cells, BAL fluids, and lung tissues were obtained 60 days post-instillation for analysis of granuloma histology and pro-inflammatory cytokines (osteopontin, CCL2, and interferon gamma [IFN-γ] mRNA and protein expression.
In wild-type mice, alveolar macrophage PPARγ expression and activity were significantly reduced in granuloma-bearing animals 60 days after MWCNT instillation. In macrophage-specific PPARγ KO mice, granuloma formation was more extensive than in wild-type at 60 days after MWCNT instillation. PPARγ KO mice also demonstrated elevated pro-inflammatory cytokine expression in lung tissue, laser-microdissected lung granulomas, and BAL cells/fluids, at 60 days post MWCNT exposure.
Overall, data indicate that PPARγ deficiency promotes inflammation and granuloma formation, suggesting that PPARγ functions as a negative regulator of chronic granulomatous inflammation.

Today in Indianapolis, the Indianapolis Colts put an end to the playoff hopes of the Houston Texans. They did so in a way that looked familiar, as the Colts of old.
The first half looked to be a struggle for the Colts as they did very little to help themselves. While they were on defense, the Colts could do little more than to let the Houston offense run over the top of them. On offense, the Colts killed themselves with stupid penalties. Tony Ugoh accounted for 3 straight penalties.
At halftime, adjustments were made. The offense came out firing on all cylinders. The Colts finally put a respectable run game together, and every receiver contributed.
The one thing that made this win possible was the play of the offensive line. No sacks. They put together a good pretection scheme and opened holes for a productive running game.
The Colts never really figured out a way to stop the Texans run attack, but did enough to post a win. You never want to put too much emphasis on one person, but without Bob Sanders, this is a different defense. Hopefully he will be back next week against the San Diego Chargers.
I do have to pass on props to Marvin Harrison. I'm not sure if he got tired of hearing everyone rag on him about his productivity, or what. He looked more like vintage, clutch, Marvin Harrison. It was great to witness.
Next week, the Colts go on the road to face the Chargers, whom have beaten them the last two times out. This will go a long way in putting the Colts up on the Chargers in tie-breakers, if they can come home with a win.
All in all, a good win.

Mod Status:: Stable
Apply In:: Other (See Description)
Requires Root:: Yes
we will put this at the top now so everyone can see, THIS ROM IS ONLY FOR I717 IF YOU FLASH IT ON N7000 WE WILL ALL LAUGH AT YOU.
thanks to mucus for the screenshots and graphics.
To be honest, this is not tablet mode at all, it has nothing to do with silly build.prop hacks. This is the first and only Android rom to feature true Hybrid mode. This rom lets you scale and project every app, every widget, even systemcomponents individually. Remember, android is modular, everything is an app: Lockscreen, navigationbar, dialogs, popups, keyboards, widgets, and your regular apps of course. Apps have the capability to switch into various designs or layouts according to the device they run on. This can result in a complete new experience as many apps will transform to the better.
Now for every element that you like chose a mode (PhoneUI, Phablet/Nexus-7UI, TabletUI) and/or a size. You are 100% independent of the system DPI which runs nicely in whatever value it has been assigned to. You do not need to boot your phone into a certain DPI. Neither will most of the changes you apply require a reboot. You will not suffer from the myriads of troubles which normally haunt you under build.prop tablet mode. Your market, phone, etc. will all work, apps won't shrink on you unless you shrink them yourself. This project will entirely transform your device, but retain the aesthetics and the feel of your phone.

NEWTON — Cledus Penny of Newton has an addiction, but it doesn't involve drugs, alcohol or tobacco. Penny's addiction is making dulcimers.
One of the world's oldest musical instruments, the American dulcimer has many variants and just as many names, such as Appalachian Lap Dulcimer, Mountain Dulcimer, and the inelegant Hogslammer.
Primarily known as a rural instrument, the American Dulcimer is native to the Appalachian region of the United States and is a fretted stringed instrument of the zither family.
"I've been making dulcimers for the past seven years or so," said Penny, a production manager at Plantation Seed. "My sister was down from Tennessee and had the first one I'd ever seen. I took a closer look at it. The thing looked pretty simple so I decided I would try to make one."
Penny went on the Internet for advice.
"I found out how to make one, but at the same time they don't really tell you how to build it. I pretty much had to figure that one out by myself."
Since that original effort Penny has put together 41 dulcimers, selling the instruments for between $350 and $400 each. The money, he said, goes right back into buying materials for more dulcimers.
Dulcimers may have as few as two or as many as 12 strings and are played while resting in the musician's lap or on a stand or flat surface. Typically the strings are plucked with the right hand while fretting with the left.
"Most of my dulcimers are made to the 26- or 27-inch scale, (the distance from nut to bridge)," Penny said. "I can make the scale to whatever length you'd like. Every one of them sounds different. I use cherry, mahogany, walnut and rubber wood. I don't use laminates, but you can really make one out of anything that has a halfway straight grain.
"They have a charisma I really can't explain, but once you've heard its haunting melody, you'll never forget the sound."
Penny says each instrument is as unique as its owner.
"There are so many styles and variations of playing a dulcimer that you can't name them all," said Penny. "It's a highly personal instrument and the individual's playing style will develop. The only limitations are one's imagination and design."
It takes Penny around "five or six weeks, in my spare time" to build a dulcimer.
"The most difficult part is steaming the one-eighth inch wood to shape the sides without busting it," Penny said.
The handing off of a finished dulcimer is always an enjoyable experience for him.
"One of my favorite things is having it played for the first time by the customer," Penny said. "There are 'oohs' and 'aahs' when the see it for the first time, and more 'oohs' and 'aahs' when they play it.
"That means a lot to me."
To Penny, each dulcimer is more than just a musical instruments.
"To me each one is a work of art," he said. "It's like an addiction. Once I got started building them I've discovered I can't stop.

If building dulcimers is wrong, then Cledus doesn't want to be right.
terryg 3 years, 6 months ago
Being an owner of a Cletus Penny mountain dulcimer qualifies me to say "Cletus Penny builds one heck of a fine dulcimer". Mine is truly one of kind, not one churned out from a factory in West Germany. Mr. Penny is truly a unique builder.

On The Loss of A Child: You Were You AreKatherine Stone
This past Friday, my sweet friend Dresden lost her baby.
She has been working so hard and so long with her fertility doctors to arrive at beautiful baby number two. We learned she was pregnant in October and were thrilled beyond measure. And now this.
Lost at ten weeks. I don't understand the universe.
I know bad things happen without reason. Except, when it comes to a mother losing her child, I seek one, some explanation, because while I can accept much of the nastiness life throws at us, the one thing I can't abide is the loss of a child. There's not bit of me that can make sense of any of this.
I get war, crime, violence, instability, natural disasters and decay. The planet's fragile balance between good and evil. My understanding ceases, though, when it comes to a parent's loss. I can see why there'd be a reason or cause for almost everything else, but not this. Don't take children. For all that is holy, don't take children. As Edna St. Vincent Millay wrote in her poem Dirge Without Music, "I know, but I do not approve. And I am not resigned."
There's always a little tiny part of you that prays and says thank you that your children are okay at those moments when you become keenly aware that loss is even a possibility. Except, that's not enough for me. I don't want just my children to be okay. I want hers to be okay as well. I don't want any mother to grieve. Ever.
I do not approve. I am not resigned.
I've spent three hours this morning flipping through pages and pages of poetry, looking for words from others that would help lift the anvil off of my heart. I found this by Mary Jo Bang, which hasn't lifted much of anything, but is nonetheless beautiful.
You Were You Are Elegy
I'm so sorry, Dresden. I love you, friend.

|Sudden death with massive hemoptysis from rupture of a thoracic inflammatory aortic aneurysm: an autopsy case report.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22504259 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|An 84-year-old-man was admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery for a sudden episode of fainting. Brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated no fresh lesions. Anorexia, fever and elevation of C-reactive protein and creatine phosphokinase were observed, and the patient was transferred to the Department of Internal Medicine for further examination and treatment. High-dose steroids and antibiotics were administered, and his fever subsided. However, massive hemoptysis suddenly developed and the patient died. A thoracic aortic aneurysm that had coalesced and ruptured a left lung bronchus was detected at autopsy. Pathological examination revealed an inflammatory aortic aneurysm.

The Section on Neuronal Connectivity, headed by Chi-Hon Lee, investigates the development and function of visual circuits in Drosophila. Using novel imaging techniques, his group characterized dendritic patterns of optic lobe neurons and derived type-specific attributes. The group revealed that TGF-beta/Activin signaling regulates the development of dendritic branches. To investigate visual information processing, the group developed a single-cell transcript profiling technique for determining the usage of neurotransmitters and receptors in optic lobe neurons.

When a heartbroken man called The Tennessean's city desk on Oct. 4, 1954, to say he was about to jump off the Shelby Avenue bridge and wanted to talk to a reporter, the city editor turned to a young journalist by the name of John Seigenthaler.
Soon that bridge could bear the young journalist's name.

ops, forgot to define tags... gonna look at FAQ for how I put them (edit seens to not allow changing tags), if anyone anwser me first thought, would be great.
well, I'm new to the site, so I'm going to be as organized as possible on this request.
1st: what do I need a map for.
I'm attending to Game's Lab classes on my Computer's Sciense college, and my teacher requested the class to develop a game untill the end of the semester. I intend to use this map merely as a guide line for my development.
2nd: about copyright and liscense.
Free for the whole internet to use it. Actually, what I'm going to ask for is so simple that I though I could find on google... got surprised when I noticed I've being scrolling for 20 minutes with no sucess. Leave your watermark/signature on the map (please, not covering the land), if I ever come to actually publish the map on the project I'm gonna put your name on the credits. Maybe even make of you a character (obviously a cartographer) in the game's world. Nothing big tough, it's college project, not E3 annoucement.
3rd: about money.
I'm a latin american college student. this means I'm broke. sorry, can't pay you in any way.
4th: about what I really want/need.
I need a modified map of Europe. The game's world is passing trough an Ice age, and by what I looked up on the internet, on the last Ice Age the sea/ocean levels on the planet were around 100m (I still think this number is wrong, but it was the same in every language, so I'm keeping it) lower than it is today. and that's it. I need a map of Europe with 100m less of water, no country demarcation (I'm still going to make the political divisions, I'm not even sure how many countryies there will be for now), no paralels/meridians demarcation, nothing, only the land/sea borders, main rivers demarcation (use your knolodge to prolong rivers to the new borders, I belive in your skills) and the cleanest ridges demarcation possible for the alps, urais, and other emblematic ridges of Europe.
5th: for those who don't want to ready above lines.
take this map: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...cation_map.jpg
make the light blue water into land, erase country borders and those lines crossing the map. erase the numbers on the top as well.
6th: about time limit.
well, as soon as possible I guess. I have no idea how much time it takes to make a map, So I'm not going to limited it here, but keep in mind it well help me a lot if it's delivered soon.
7th: others.
thank you for reading to this point, it's already something. I hope I'm not demanding too much, specially since I'm not paying for the job, but I would really apreciate if someone with actual cartographer skills made this map for me (I suck at drawing, both with pen/pencils and with softwares), and this site seemed to have some pretty skilled members, and even better, they seemed to be disposed to make such requests like mine for free =D. I belive I've chosen the right place to ask for this map, and I'm confident the guild's members won't disapoint me ^^
thank you for your attention, extra thanks if you actually make the map.
ops, forgot to define tags... gonna look at FAQ for how I put them (edit seens to not allow changing tags), if anyone anwser me first thought, would be great.
One cheesy Europe map with sea level 320 ft lower than current. A true ice age Europe map would have ice blocks as suggested by the File:Ice Age Europe map.png - Wikimedia Commons map. I'm pretty sure that some of the rivers on my map aren't quite right (the Danube, for example, is going the wrong way in places, but the rivers during the ice age were all doing different things anyhow.
Thank you very much ^^
when I read that requests are awnsered quikly I thought it meant around a week, not that fast haha

POSTED: 8:48 a.m. HST, Jul 14, 2013
LAST UPDATED: 6:32 p.m. HST, Jul 14, 2013
A 54-year-old man died at the hospital after crashing his moped into a telephone pole in Manoa this morning, Honolulu police said.
Police said the man was headed downhill on Woodlawn Drive near Alani Drive around 7:06 a.m. when he lost control of the 2005 white moped he was driving
He suffered "massive head injuries" and was transported in extremely critical condition to Queens Medical Center, where he later died, officials said.
Police said the man was not wearing a helmet, and that no other vehicles or occupants appear to have been involved in the crash.
It has not yet been determined whether alcohol, drugs, or speed were factors in the crash.
Police closed Woodlawn Drive between Waipuna Rise and Alani Drive until about 9 a.m. as Traffic Division officers investigated the scene of the accident.
The man is the 36th traffic fatality on Oahu in 2013, compared to 32 traffic fatalities at this time in 2012.

Review for Customized Sleeve for iPad Mini

It was a little too tight for an iPad with a Smart Cover. But I suspect it will be easier after a little break-in period.

Coaching for Peak Performance Workshops
Imagine a manager who, through his/her every action, word, decision, and gesture, clearly communicates unfailing commitment to the employee's creativity, resourcefulness, and success. Beyond that, this manager expects accountability for results and gets it, no kidding. Welcome to the world of business coaching! It's a place where new assumptions are emerging. Where questions are asked, where managers and employees mutually and consistently move to solutions that work and where people walk the walk together toward a common vision.There are underlying assumptions that support a coaching approach in the workplace:
1) No one person, even the manager, has all the answers;
2) Employees are creative and resourceful, and so are their managers;
3) Managers and employees communicate feedback and ideas mutually and frequently;
4) There are no wrong answers, no judgments; and
5)Accountability, results and timeliness are the norm, no kidding.
Topics to be Covered Include:
This is a required workshop in the Human Resource Generalist Certificate Program.
Instructors: Melanie Keveles

Leave it to abhishekh manu singhvi he can help appointing many female judges at one time.Also should he be not in jail now?!
"I find thi demand obnoxious."
Agree with you hundred percent!!
Wow thats great news, but how about the cases settled by political power and money? for example, Ice creme k. kutty, who is ruling the Kerala state now and PJ kurien who is the Dy speaker? Both cases were raping minor girls I beleive. They are not really bothered at all because they can either buy the witness, the Investigating officers, or when everything fails they will play the minority card. HA HA HA HA.
How can rape be checked when films/serials freely depict it? Isn't it an irony that films have been directed to prominently display the message "smoking is injurious to health/Tobacco kills" but no such warning to convey that rape means life in prison? Even WWF says "Please Don't Try it at home" ! And hardly any film is a commercial success without a vivacious rape scene. How about Shaayari? Are we romanticizing all kinds of crimes against women? In the absence of any code of conduct, films become the strongest influence on adolescent youth.

Hi I'm new to this but I see everyone else is used to problems with their S-Max!
I've just got a '09 plate S-Max Titanium 2.2TDCi and after a few days the phone unit failed. Not a big problem, just inconvienient...
The next day the sat nav crashed and I've now lost the CD, Radio and the climate control! The whole system appears to be repeatedly rebooting every three seconds and then keeps going dead.
Now I'm really a tolerant person but driving 1000 miles a week and having to wait until next week before my dealer can look at it I'm seriously not happy!!!
Has anyone else experienced this type of failure?
At least it's under warrenty!!!
Problems, Problems, Problems...

It's such a shame isn't it - I've got a 2007 S-Max and although it's great to drive, the build quality really doesn't shape up to the VW's I've had previously. I've had to have a new boot latch (man at garage told me it was my fault because "new mums always slam the boot too hard..." and so wouldn't claim on the warranty) and last week, spent £192 on resolving the bonnet cable problem (which stops the bonnet from closing, resulting in a bikechain and padlock repair job) that many seem to have suffered. The handbrake's fallen to pieces and the front parking sensors are useless! VW next time I think (at least I don't have to do 1,000 miles a week - nightmare to have an unreliable car)!

Health Is a Learning Adventure
Volunteer Voice - Summer 2007
Sometimes you can just see the light bulb come on in a child's eyes — the volunteers who work with the Health Adventures Program know all about that.
For 11 years, M. D. Anderson has collaborated with the Communities in Schools program for at-risk students. Funded by The Junior League of Houston, Inc., two schools are selected to participate in the program each year, both bringing nine students. These 18 students are matched with 18 adult "mentor" volunteers, and they all attend monthly Saturday sessions during the school year that expose them to health career options.
Students participating in the Health Adventures Program visit an M. D. Anderson lab and learn from Kimberly Murray, senior laboratory technologist in the School of Health Sciences.
"This year, several of the children participating in Health Adventures just metamorphosed about halfway through the year," explains Cindy Shursen, program coordinator. "The kids got big smiles on their faces because they were excited about being here and learning what goes on in a big hospital like M. D. Anderson. It's always encouraging when you see a transformation like that because you know that it means they get it."
This year, the 4th and 5th graders had modules on child life in the Children's Cancer Hospital, nursing, sterile processing, pharmacy, radiation oncology, laboratory medicine, rehabilitation services and the emergency center. The students were given backpacks and binders with follow-up questions to each module presented. After the site visits, students sit down with their mentors to answer the questions and discuss their experiences.
Longtime volunteer Kay Rogers says that she first became involved with Heath Adventures for a selfish reason. "I'm an old, white-headed woman," she explains, "and I don't think that many of these kids have much contact with people like me. I want them to realize that old people can be fun to laugh with and that there is someone to care about them. The students we have in the program aren't always from the greatest homelife, but they are super kids, bright kids."
Rogers says that it's just fun to be with these children and she tries to never miss a session. "The mentors learn more than the children do," she laughs.
Health Adventures concluded in late April with special commencement exercises for the participants. Volunteers in the program include Osvaldo Gomez, Hannah Cheung, William Lavery, Carolina Coronado, Jackie Friedman, Kay Rogers, Sharon LaTour, My Chau Nguyen, Carol Soto, Laurie Elmore, Norman Schneider, Daniel Parfitt, Lisa Goff, Gina Guidry, Evelin Young, Lyle Rhymes, Maria Truan and Mitchell Malvous.

The American Heart Association's 2-pg fact sheet explains how a stroke can cause death or long-term disability through loss of nerve cells, the warning signs and symptoms of a stroke, and how to distinguish a TIA from a stroke. It emphasizes the importance of getting immediate help in the event of a stroke. Includes tips for lowering the risk of strokes through healthier lifestyle choices.
This 2-pg handout from ADA explains what happens during a stroke and how people with diabetes are at higher risk. Discussed are stroke warning signs, how to lower one's risk, calling 9-1-1 right away to get immediate treatment, TIAs, diagnosis, and long-term treatment. A story about a person with type 2 diabetes who had a stroke is included.
NIA's 4-pg guide on stroke emphasizes how to recognize the warning signs of this life-threatening condition and outlines preventive measures that lower one's chance of having a stroke. It describes the two major types of stroke, ischemic and hemorrhagic, the health problems that can ensue, and how TIAs can be precursors to major, disabling strokes. Available in English and Spanish.

Poster: Flying non-LTR retrotransposons.
Novikova, Olga (2012): Poster: Flying non-LTR retrotransposons.. figshare.http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.103854
Poster presented at Frontiers of Retrovirology'09
Flying non-LTR retrotransposons: DNA transposons as freely available "wings"?
Olga Novikova, Alexander Blinov
Institute of Cytology and Genetics SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Russia
Horizontal transmission (HT) can be defined as the process by which genes move between reproductively isolated species. Many examples of HT of transposable elements have been identified in eukaryotes. The mechanisms of HT are still unknown since it is not possible experimentally to show how the HT can occur. The frequencies of HT events are not equal among diverse types of transposable elements. Majority cases of putative HT are known for DNA transposons and LTR retrotransposons. According to the rough estimation, approximately 96% of HT events described for Drosophila account for LTR retrotransposons and DNA transposons, and only 4% - for non-LTR retrotransposons [1]. It seems to be that HT of non-LTR retrotransposons is relatively rare event.
Previously, we provided strong evidences for the recent horizontal transmission of CR1 non-LTR retrotransposons between silkmoth (Bombycidae) and large blue butterflies, genus Maculinea (Lycaenidae) [2]. The further investigations showed that the multiple HT events of DNA transposons took place between the same groups (Bombycidae and Lycaenidae) recently. At the same time, HTs among other groups of lepidopterans appeared to be relatively rare. Moreover, we identified number of chimeric DNA transposons in genomes of Bombyx and Maculinea which carry insertions of non-LTR retrotransposons (including CR1) and capable for transposition since insertions did not disrupt coding regions of DNA transposons. Thus we can suppose that non-LTR retrotransposons have ridden DNA transposons and used them as the "wings" for their transmission.
We also suppose that the features of life cycles of large blue butterflies and silkmoth played important roles in increasing of HT frequency. Large blue butterflies are living in ant nests during the third larvae stage where they are fed by ants or eat up ant's larvae. Silkmoth characterized by periodical massive outbreaks and can represent main course in ants menu during such years. The ant nest can be the crucial point of tangency between donor of chimeric DNA transposons (silkmoth) and recipient (common ancestor of large blue butterflies).

Yes, because young people are incapable of applying for a job if it's not posted on Facebook, and we all speak Gangnam Style. I think the Q & A sessions are interesting and promising, but apps are a stupid concept.
Knowing how to log onto Facebook does not mean that you are digitally savvy. hehe.
Knowing how to log onto Facebook does mean that you are digitally savvy.
That's really funny because the navy claims that only 25% of their target group can pass the physical fitness requirements to get into the navy. So then these fat losers think that they are going to be my boss working in some government agency.........NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Fed claims it wants to hire more young employees, but its conduct says otherwise. In my recent experience, more than 90% of vacancy announcements for professionals (jobs requiring graduate level degrees and/or a professional license) are at the GS-13 or higher level. As any government HR specialist can tell you, it's extremely difficult to find an under-35 candidate with sufficient qualifications to qualify for these positions, let alone one willing to leave the private sector and take the pay cut.
I understand that the government is losing a lot of its most experienced, knowledgeable employees. However, addressing a lost GS-15 by trying to immediately hire a replacement GS-15 (or worse, a contractor) is neither realistic nor sustainable. And in banging their heads against the wall in this effort, agencies are demolishing the prospects of younger professionals eager to serve their country and help the government move forward.
De facto hiring qualification: wasting work hours on social media and smartphones.

Massillon Museum, 121 Lincoln Way E., Massillon, will feature Andy Warhol artwork at its "Do the Mu!" program from noon to 2 p.m. on Aug. 3.
The museum is celebrating Warhol's use of photobooths and instant photography in this month's program. "Do the Mu!" participants will learn how photobooths work and have the opportunity to pose for photos in the museum's 1955-vintage photobooth, which uses paper and chemicals to produce strips of four images.
All materials, tools and instruction are supplied at no charge and the public is invited to attend. Participants may stop in at anytime during the event. For more information, call 330-833-4061 or visit www.massillonmuseum.org.

I don't know anything about her except she has a great speaking voice (unlike most US females of her generation.)
Those photos are wretched though. Lots of crotch! Let's see her babymaker!
The face, too, way over photo-shopped the whole shoot, makes everything look fake to the point I don't believe she's a real dancer...just some actress who took a little ballet.
You think after "dating" Ryan Seacrest it would be difficult to praise Little Tom and talk extensively about the manly, completely hetero, lap dance?

Consider the original rules from OD&D (white box). Everyone gets the same dice -- d6's. Different PC classes get their d6 dice at different rates. All monsters get a simple integer number of dice. Only if PC's have Con 15 do they get +1 benefit (very minor). Monster hit dice merge perfectly with PCs if you choose to interchange the two. Very elegant.
Keeping that in mind, here's a possible variant rule for the 3E d20 System; in fact, it really based on the "Variant: Vitality/Wound Points" from UA. Say PCs start with a base hit points equal to full Constitution -- that's their raw physical durability. Add to that hit points from class -- their Vitality, or quasi-dodge/roll ability (in the UA system, you get bonus points from Con, but I'd strike that out). Now, switch monster "hit dice" to actually be a number of d6's rolled for Constitution (and hence base hit points).
To wit: Orcs get 3d6 Con (base hit points), the same as humans. Hobgoblins get 4d6. Gnolls get 5, ogres 7, trolls 8. Giants get 10 and up, etc.
So, this system has the following advantages: (a) race-based hit points are the same as Con dice, represented by just a single integer; (b) it makes explicit the difference between raw physical damage and dodging-exhaustion; (c) it triples starting PC hit points for survivablity & granularity, which seems to be all the rage these days; (d) it makes the power increase from 1st-2nd-3rd class levels a lot less steep; (e) if PC hit dice revert back to all d6's like in OD&D, it becomes trivial to add class levels to any base monster; (f) no special rule is needed for unclassed humans, they just have 3d6 base hit points like everyone else.
However, now you probably have to re-evaluate reams of existing rules, possibly like weapons, spells, and monster attacks, to make sure that things are at least somewhat balanced. Nontheless, it's an attractive proposition (hearkening back to OD&D) to have these kinds of things be a simple, raw number of dice for base racial characteristics.
Of course, I'll never have time to completely work out all the implications of a system like that. I suppose I can go back to the regular d20 System and make my peace by saying that PCs learn better how to use their natural physical endurance as they advance (and hence get re-investing Con bonus every level). But man, I wish I could torpedo the monster Con-bonus hit points, and just say the raw Hit Dice number encapsulates how tough they are.

Interesting idea, but like you say, it would take a bit of work to get it happening.ReplyDelete
And I think you are drawing a long bow to make too much of a comparison to OD&D - don't forget that all weapons did d6 damage, which was enough to kill any normal man (even one with 18 CON).
Still worth some thought though...
Sure, the granularity is a lot different from OD&D (i.e., people can take several more hits in this system).ReplyDelete
But, the main comparison and attraction of OD&D to me is how simple the monster listings were: namely just single-digit integers for most everything. In OD&D a gnoll has "AC 6, MV 9, HD 2", whereas in 3E it has "AC 15, MV 30, HD 2d8+2". It's the utter brevity of the OD&D monster stat listings that I'd like to revisit. Something the DM can totally memorize on the fly and not have to look up in a reference.
I've created a OD&D/Holmes Homebrew that we currently use. Yep, d6's for everyone following the OD&D M&M guidelines for increasing as they climb through the levels (if they live that long). And ONLY +1 for CON as you mentioned.ReplyDelete
OD&D has a lot to offer (esp. if one mixes some house rules to give it a unique spin for one's campaign world).
I still think back to the old days when we didn't have all the books, and worked from scraps of handwritten notes hurriedly scribbled from some rich kid's books during study hall. Yes, it was possible to play with just some notes, dice, a few charts and a knack for remembering simple Monster Stats...
Which brings up another point... We played in the flux: when OD&D, Holmes Basic and the Monster Manual was all that was available (and no one was sure which version was the true Authoritative Text). Nonetheless, we sure had a blast.
