Mary Altaffer, Associated Press
DANVILLE, Ky. — Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Paul Ryan were under pressure Thursday to help boost their tickets out of a closely fought battle for the White House as the nation's eyes turned to the pair of scrappy vice presidential nominees meeting for their only debate.
The showdown matches up two skilled politicians with strong policy credentials and very different styles. It's 69-year-old Biden's folksy appeal and solid vice presidential portfolio vs. 42-year-old Ryan's intensity and extensive knowledge of the federal budget and economy from 14 years in Congress.
Warming up President Barack Obama's crowd at the University of Miami's basketball arena, Florida Sen. Bill Nelson predicted: "Tonight, Joe Biden will make mincemeat of Paul Ryan." Obama, himself, didn't mention Biden while encouraging the crowd to take advantage of early voting in Florida, but he did call Biden from Air Force One en route to the rally to wish him luck.
Ryan signaled he's ready for whatever Biden sends his way.
"I'm not intimidated, I'm actually excited about it," he said on CNN.
With the spotlight on the running mates, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney spent the morning in secluded practice for his next face-off with Obama on Tuesday. He then flew to North Carolina, where he visited the Rev. Billy Graham before an evening rally in Asheville with country singer Ronnie Milsap.
The vice presidential debate will help to shape the campaign narrative until Romney and Obama meet again Tuesday for the second of three debates. Obama is eager to change the vibe after his lackluster performance in the first debate and Romney's recent gains in the polls. Romney, for his part, is hoping a strong Ryan performance will help propel Republicans forward on an energetic drive through the campaign's final weeks.
"Looking forward to it," Biden said Thursday as he boarded his plane for Kentucky with his children and Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., who played Ryan in practice debate sessions. The vice president then holed up with his traveling entourage in a private home near the debate sight. His GOP challenger stayed out of the public eye all day Thursday. Aides reported that he spent time with his family, studied debate briefing books and exercised.
Democratic Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear encouraged Biden to turn in a tougher performance than Obama. Beshear said Obama "didn't do well" in the presidential debate and should have mentioned Romney's dismissive comments about the 47 percent of Americans who don't pay income taxes.
"My guess is that he was advised to be presidential and don't get into the fray and look like you are above the fray and all that," Beshear said in an interview with The Associated Press. "But there is a difference in doing that and being aggressive and making your points and pointing out the difference between your two candidates."
Obama's campaign posted a photo on Twitter of Biden and Van Hollen practicing for the debate. They sat side by side in suit jackets and no ties on a set designed to look like the debate stage at Centre College, a liberal arts school with just 1,340 students.
The brief glimpse into Biden's debate preparations, with the vice president sitting with a coffee cup in front of him, is a marked contrast from the total secrecy that surrounded the president's practice sessions. Obama's aides have refused to even discuss the most basic details of his debate preparation.
Biden kept the mood light during practice runs this week in his hometown of Wilmington, Del., aides said. He bought his team subs for lunch Monday from a local sandwich shop and kept a supply of animal crackers and M&Ms on hand. The team spent most mornings in policy discussions at a hotel near Biden's home, with mock debates in the afternoon.

Rated 5 out of 5 Best belt I have. I thought it looked great on the site and another person posed a good review so I thought I would order it. I love it. Great quality, fits great, and best of all looks great and have had some nice comments on it. Can wear it with a suit or just with a camp shirt and Tommy shorts. Goes with everything. July 6, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by Denny57 nice but a little overpriced Attractive but doesn't look like it will last if used for an everyday belt June 28, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeff16 My favorite belt! I love the classic style of this belt... So much so, when the first one I got as a Christmas present finally wore out after a couple years (I wear a badge on it every day), I didn't think twice about getting it again. I got the black one and will be getting the brown one soon. April 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by SouthernGirl77 Gorgeous texture! This belt is an eye-catcher. The woven leather has a slight sheen to it and looks really nice. It lays better than some I have seen that are similar in design. I do think the thickness of it causes it to be slightly smaller in the fit when you put it on, if you are borderline or like a longer belt I would recommend going up a size. My husband loves this belt and we have ordered it in black as well. April 18, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by dcjohns03 Just What I Wanted! This black belt was exactly what I was hoping for when I purchased it.

Hello! I'm Mike. Just joined here because I've been looking for a busy forum to pass some time when I'm feeling bikey (mostly summer).
I've been maintaining my own bikes for a few years and have built up a semi-decent toolkit, quite a lot custom made (headset press, cup/cone bottom bracket pinch tool, 2 chain whips, pin plyers and a few more) I've fitted, adjusted and mended almost everything on a bike except wheels (I'm going to be building my first set for my MTB soon!)
I'm quite a budget person, but will always go for quality over price. That sounds a bit odd, but I like browsing ebay for cheap quality components and things. Most bike parts cost quite a lot in the UK anyway (compared to the US, which I guess most of you are from)
My Bikes:
Specialized Rockhopper Expert Disc 2009 in Silver
Not sure what specs you are supposed to quote to impress people... I've got a link to the specialized site here: http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/...=39224&eid=107
Paid the equivalent of $385 for it and it's had new chain/chainrings and a complete service and wash
Giant Boulder 510 Sport
This is my pub/snotter bike. Had it for about 12 years, been through many many cables, chains, cassettes and tubes/tyres I've lost count. Still rides like the day I got it and it's fully working. This is what I've learnt to maintain bikes on!
I wonder if anyone reads this whole thing. Add the word brill to your post if you have, haha.
1978 Olympic Competitor
My fathers old racing bike that I'm restoring. I've had it into every piece and is now (slowly) going back together after getting cleaned or replaced. Did want to have it done for the beginning of summer, but have just moved house (and now have a garage(!), my dream) so will more likely be a winter project now. So many nice lightweight bits that will fits, but I'm trying to keep it "old school"
I have a crap load of expensive hobbies, but they're mostly seasonal; motor-sport (motorbike), snowboarding, photography, computing and electronics.
Anyway, look forward to passing on my bit of experience and learning a lot from everyone here!

Physics is fascinating because of the intellectual excitement it provides and because of the applications it offers. In the Group of Applied Physics (GAP) at Geneva University we get our inspiration from both of these motivations. Optics, in this respect, has a privileged place. Indeed, in modern optics, experiments and theory progress hand-in-hand, and practical applications are close behind. Consequently, we can work both on conceptual issues and on applications. Moreover, it is a very good time for optics! The fascinating new insight about quantum mechanics brought about by recent quantum optics experiments on one side, and the tremendous development of optical communications on the other, illustrates our privileged position!
The American Research Council has recently declared optics as the technology of the 21st century. In contrast, a famous physicist, Michael Berry, has declared that the 21st century will be shaped by quantum physics, in a way similar to electrodynamics, which shaped the 20th century. Our position in GAP-Optique, at the crossroads between optics and quantum physics, ensures our participation to both challenges.

Coherent spin control in the long-lived quantum memories
Long-lived quantum memories are essential components of a long-standing goal of remote distribution of entanglement in quantum networks. In our letter published in Physical Review Letters, we experimentally demonstrate a quantum level manipulation with the spin excitation in a large solid-state ensemble, generated through storage of a weak optical pulse. After a storage time of about 1 ms we optically read-out the spin excitation with a high signal-to-noise ratio. Our results pave the way for long-duration optical quantum storage using spin-echo techniques for any ensemble-based memory.

Nonlinear Interaction between Single Photons
Harnessing nonlinearities strong enough to allow single photons to interact with one another is not only a fascinating challenge but also central to numerous advanced applications in quantum information science. We recently realised the first nonlinear interaction between two single photons. Each photon is generated in independent parametric down-conversion sources. They are subsequently combined in a nonlinear waveguide where they are converted into a single photon of higher energy by the process of sum-frequency generation. Our approach results in the direct generation of photon triplets. More generally, it highlights the potential for quantum nonlinear optics with integrated devices and, as the photons are at telecom wavelengths, it opens the way towards novel applications in quantum communication such as device-independent quantum key distribution.
We are very pleased that this work has been published in the Physical Review Letters. The letter can be found on our website. It was also highlighted by the Editors and received a Viewpoint article, Two Photons into One.

Three watercolours sold on the first day
13 Nov
All good news that three of my six paintings have sold on the first day of the exhibition at the Llewellyn Alexander Gallery in waterloo. One of which is featured above. It is of the bridges above Bourough Market. When i was painting it every second person kept telling me "That pub was in Bridget Jones' Diary!". I have never seen the film myself. I will be painting the fish market in oils in 2010. Should be fun.If you are Interested in buying a painting or considering a commission of art or illustration for yourself then do mail me or just give me a call.

Brazil Presidential Hopefuls Clash Over Corruption in TV Debate
Brazilian presidential candidates Dilma Rousseff and Jose Serra accused each other of tolerating corruption in their second-to-last television debate before this weekend's runoff election.
Serra, in the debate yesterday hosted by Record TV network, attacked President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva's former cabinet chief for surrounding herself with allies in her Workers' Party tainted by charges of corruption.
These include Erenice Guerra, who succeeded Rousseff in Lula's cabinet. Guerra gave testimony yesterday to police investigating a kickbacks scandal involving her sons' alleged work negotiating contracts for companies doing business with the government. Guerra resigned her post Sept. 16.
"She had as her right hand as cabinet chief and in the mining and energy ministry someone who is facing charges for mounting a far-reaching corruption scheme," said Serra, who finished 14 percentage points behind Rousseff in the first round of voting Oct. 3.
Rousseff, 62, said she supports a police investigation into Guerra's actions and accused a former executive of Sao Paulo state´s highway authority, known as Dersa, of stealing campaign donations. Serra is the former governor of Sao Paulo.
Rousseff's lead over Serra ahead of the Oct. 31 vote widened to 10 percentage points from 6 percentage points in a Datafolha survey published Oct 22. Rousseff's total votes rose to 50 percent from 47 percent in an Oct. 14-15 poll, according to Datafolha. Serra's total votes fell to 40 percent from 41 percent in the previous survey. The poll of 4,037 people has a margin of error of two points.
Rousseff said that Serra, if elected, would privatize Petroleo Brasileiro SA and abandon its plan to develop the biggest oil discovery in the Americas in three decades.
"Before we used to eat beef jerky and now he wants to hand over the country´s filet mignon,´´ said Rousseff, who served as chairwoman of the state-controlled oil company.
Serra said that Lula´s government favored foreign companies over Brazilian ones in the awarding of oil contracts. If elected, he said he would strengthen the company and eliminate political influence in its management which he said grew out of control under Lula.
"She´s foaming at the mouth, inventing myths, with the only aim of deceiving voters,´´ said the 68-year-old Serra.
Rousseff, a former member of the Marxist underground that battled Brazil´s 1964-1985 military dictatorship, has pledged continuity with her mentor's policies that helped lift 21 million out of poverty since 2003 and created more than 14 million jobs. Latin America's biggest economy will grow 7.3 percent this year, according to central bank estimates.
To sustain the fast pace of economic growth, Rousseff said last night she would cut taxes for companies that increase investment and expand payrolls.
Interest Rates
Serra has vowed to maintain Lula's social programs while moving faster to reduce the world's second-highest real interest rate and the highest tax burden in the developing world.
In last night´s debate, he said the "planet´s highest interest rates´´ and overvalued currency are among the "critical´´ problems facing Brazil and the reason why its manufacturers are losing ground to foreign competitors.
Rousseff said that her policies "aren´t focused on the GDP number or interest rates but on people.´´
Both candidates have vowed to reduce Brazil's debt levels as a percent of gross domestic product though have said little about how they intend to rein in public spending that rose 18.2 percent in July from the same month a year ago, more than twice the 8.8 percent rate of economic growth in the second quarter.

This patron will support me in all me plans to achieve me Ideal Job. Theu task is to "PERSUADE yor audience HOW and WHY you are suitable for that Ideal Job. Remember, you have to persuade your audience that you are the best candidate to receive a patron for life. "The main point for the speech is to persuade the audiences to be my patron for Life, and to do that, we will tie that in with our "Ideal job or career" and our ideologies. My Ideal Career is a family and child therapist that deals particularly with gender, which parallels with the issue I feel strongly for, gender variance and transgenderism. In my speech, I will include general information on the issue, the lack of awareness of the issue in my country, why gender variant children or adults need help and how my career will be of help to them.Now I am not sure on how to structure my speech, should I include my personalities and characters in the speech as to show more credibility so that the audience will be more inclined to be my patron for life?Sherlyn

Before it was possible to purchase commercially prepared paints and pigments, artists and craftsmen relied on materials found in their environment, like berries, clay, and minerals, to color their art.
April 15, 2015
by Margaret Little, Senior Conservator of Objects
As the Senior Conservator of Objects at the Barnes Foundation, I have come to know the three-dimensional objects in the collection fairly well over the five years I have worked here. However, there is always more to learn, and it is rewarding to have an opportunity to work with researchers and scholars who visit the Foundation to study the collection. They often are able to reveal historical information or special aspects of an object about which we were unaware.
March 11, 2015
We often say that the paintings that hang above the doors in the Collection Gallery deserve a special tour to draw attention to them. Horace Pippin's Abraham Lincoln and His Father Building Their Cabin on Pigeon Creek (BF978) hangs in Room 5 over the doorway to the north garden hallway. As Lincoln's birthday is on February 12 and Pippin's is on February 22, it seems like the appropriate place to embark upon our first "over-the-door collection tour."

|Single-phase liquid flow and heat transfer in plain and enhanced silicon microchannels
|Steinke, Mark
|Microscale heat transfer and microfluidics have become increasingly important to overcome some very complex engineering challenges. The use of very small passages to gain heat transfer enhancement is a well documented method for achieving high heat flux dissipation. However, some interesting experimental results have caused researchers to question if the conventional theories for fluid flow and heat transfer are valid in the microscale passages. However, there is no significant physical basis for the discrepancies with singlephase liquid flows when the passage is scaled to the microscale. The present work identifies the sources of the discrepancies reported in literature and provides a method to correct for them. In the course of this pursuit, a new experimental facility is developed to generate highly accurate experimental data for single-phase flow of water. The new experimental data are used to highlight the sources of discrepancies and illustrate a course of action to correct for them. Finally, a novel method for creating even greater heat transfer enhancement has been realized. Small offset fins have been fabricated in silicon microchannels in order to create a constantly developing flow in the microchannel heat exchanger and thus heat transfer enhancement. A new parameter based upon the heat flux dissipated and the pressure drop required is developed to aid in the comparison between these enhanced silicon microchannels and plain geometry silicon microchannels. The result is an order of magnitude increase in thermal performance with a marginal increase in overall pressure drop.

Right on the sunny south side of the convention center, in fact. Blue Bear Farm, one of the first and largest farms planted on the grounds of a convention center, has 2,000 plants growing in the 5,000-square-foot space—all of which will be used by chefs to deliver natural, healthy, and delicious dishes. "The chefs at Centerplate are going to have a field day, hitting the garden in the morning to pick fresh cilantro, kale, oregano, sage, rosemary, tarragon, and thyme to use in all their convention center catering," says Richard Scharf, president and CEO of Visit Denver, The Convention & Visitors Bureau. The farm—which grew out of Denver Mayor Michael B. Hancock's Denver Seeds Initiative to create a local food economy that spurs job creation and gives all Denver neighborhoods access to healthy and affordable food—is expected to yield a 1,800-pound crop in its first year, growing to 3,000 pounds next year and ultimately 5,000 pounds. Edible landscaping and urban agricultural company Produce Denver designed, built, and maintains the farm. "Centerplate is committed to delivering one-of-a-kind, locally relevant hospitality programs for each community, and we've taken this community commitment to a whole new level with the Blue Bear Farm, blending tremendous local business opportunities with good-for-you new foods," says Centerplate CEO Des Hague. Centerplate and the Colorado Convention Center aren't alone in this effort. At the Vancouver Convention Centre in British Columbia, Canada, a six-acre "living roof" covered with coastal grasses and plants not only serves as an insulator for the center but also provides plenty of food for the honeybees living in its four beehives. In 2011, the bees produced 160 pounds of wildflower honey. Half of the honey will be used by the culinary team for exclusive treats and pastries, while the rest was packaged in jars for promotional use. "We're excited to see that the living roof is flourishing in a short span of three years and, what's more, doing what it was intended to do," says Bruce Hemstock, the roof's landscape architect and partner at PWL Partnership Landscape Architects, Inc. Another reason to love a convention center farm? It can serve as a unique event space. At Blue Bear Farm, attendees can enjoy food and drink while meandering through the very garden beds that produced the tasty treats.

Totally awesome, dude, any book that has a character getting stoned for the benefit of the community is groovy, man. Rock on!

That picture and even what it says on the cover is so totally unrelated to the story. When I read it I was in school and it was in a textbook or a book of short stories, so I never saw this cover. False advertising.
Posted by Patty in Ohio, USA on 03/23/12 at 07:41 AM
This one was either banned around my town or it was on the "A" reading list. Anyhow, I'll get at it shortly. In the mean time for anyone else that has missed it you can Google "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson or

I knew the premise but hadn't read it until just clicking on it now. Seems odd that a story just a few pages long even has cover art.
Posted by Miles on 03/23/12 at 09:57 AM
It's probably a collection of short stories.
Posted by ges on 03/23/12 at 04:47 PM
The Lottery and Other Stories contains the following short stories:

Those sound familiar, I probably read the whole book when I was still in school.
Posted by Patty in Ohio, USA on 03/23/12 at 07:51 PM
Can you imagine the cover art possibilities if they had chosen "Dorothy and My Grandmother and the Sailors" for the cover art? YOWZAH!!! I can remember reading a story called "The Daemon Lover" when I was in h.s. It was very sad as I recall. I wonder if it's the same one. I'll have to look it up.

Intel debuts new C++, Fortran compilers
updated 06:55 pm EDT, Wed June 6, 2007
Intel debuts new compilers
Intel has released two new Mac OS X-compatible compilers -- one for creating C++ software and the other for producing Fortran programs -- designed to create more reliable, high-performance applications that speed up a computer's responsiveness. The Intel C++ Compiler and Fortran Professional Editions are highly optimized with performance libraries and the Intel Threading Building Blocks. Both compilers are already available from $600 to $1600, with upgrades to the professional editions from the prior versions or libraries available through resellers.
Both compilers feature new automatic support for accelerating program performance on Intel's latest multi-core processsors, and automatically accelerate software containing 3D graphics or video through the use of vectors via Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) -- including the latest SSE 4 instructions.
Application performance is also accelerated by multi-core processors through the use of multiple threads. Combining the use of vectors and threads while integrating them with a technology known as loop transformation generates greater performance on multi-core processors without requiring developers to rewrite their code.

Early-Drug Screening Is Due For Review
Exelixis and Bristol-Myers Squibb decided to continue their research deal related to cardiovascular and metabolic disorders. Exelisis will receive $7.5 million in additional research funding.
The partnership, originally reported in December 2005 for a period of two years, has been extended at Bristol-Myers Squibb's request through January 12, 2009. Bristol-Myers Squibb also retains the option to extend the agreement by an additional year.
The companies are working on therapies targeted against the Liver X Receptor (LXR). "Exelixis and Bristol-Myers Squibb have a history of working efficiently and productively together and we have maintained this positive dynamic in our LXR collaboration," remarks Michael Morrissey, Ph.D., president of research and development at Exelixis.
"In less than two years, we have made substantial progress in identifying and optimizing compounds that activate LXR."Once drug candidates that are ready for IND-enabling studies are identified, Bristol-Myers Squibb will undertake further preclinical research. The company is also responsible for clinical development as well as regulatory, manufacturing, and sales/marketing activities.

Having received a patent on the technology in 1986, hull founded 3D Systems to commercialize his discoveries.
"When some of those surgeries were first done using the help of our technology, it was really touching for me," as hull put it.
A torpedo aimed at the hull of the Bush legacy doesn't exactly seem like a White House playing defense.
It would seem," says O'Brien, "that in coming to hull Larkin had in a sense sent himself to Coventry.
Henrietta Dystra from hull, Iowa praised his moral convictions.
They are driven by two steam-engines, which are placed in the hull of the vessel below the paddle-shaft.
No knife, no rocket pistol, no line with magnet for securing oneself to a hull.
The pieces necessary to assemble the hull are shown in Fig. 58.
For the beginner it is not safe to make a hull less than 1/2 inch in thickness.
Investigation showed the hull to be intact but two of the hatches had been torn off their hinges and were nowhere in sight.
"seed covering," from Old English hulu "husk, pod," from Proto-Germanic *hulus "to cover" (cf. Old High German hulla, hulsa; German Hülle, Hülse, Dutch huls). Figurative use by 1831.
"body of a ship," 1550s, perhaps from hull (n.1) on fancied resemblance of ship keels to open peapods (cf. Latin carina "keel of a ship," originally "shell of a nut;" Greek phaselus "light passenger ship, yacht," literally "bean pod;" French coque "hull of a ship; shell of a walnut or egg"). Alternative etymology is from Middle English hoole "ship's keel" (mid-15c.), from the same source as hold (n.).
"to remove the husk of," early 15c., from hull (n.1). Related: Hulled, which can mean both "having a particular kind of hull" and "stripped of the hull."

South Florida 28 at Temple 37
Temple tops South Florida 37-28Saturday, Oct 6, 2012
PHILADELPHIA (AP)—Marcus Green blocked a late field goal attempt and Montel Harris scored two touchdowns to lead Temple to a 37-28 victory over South Florida in a Big East Conference matchup on Saturday.
The game marked Temple's re-entry into the Big East after the Owls were kicked out of the conference in 2004.
Temple snapped a two-game losing skid with the victory, improving to 2-2 overall and 1-0 in the Big East. After South Florida opened the season with a pair of victories, the loss was the Bulls' fourth-straight defeat, dropping them to 2-4 overall and 0-2 in the conference.
"I thought our kids were scratching, and fighting and clawing and not relenting, and had two losses against two good football teams, and our kids never blinked," Temple coach Steve Addazio said. "This is a great win for our program. It's an emotional win. It's Temple back in the Big East Conference, our first Big East game making a statement that our program is headed in the right direction and we'll be a valued member in this conference."
Harris, a transfer from Boston College, erupted for a season-best 133 yards on 24 carries and two fourth-quarter touchdowns.
Temple's Chris Coyer was a very efficient 16 for 20 for 167 yards, throwing for one touchdown and scoring the first TD of the game on a 24-yard run on the Owls' first possession.
"It was a great team effort, and my offensive line opened up some holes, but it was a great team win, and it was in the back of my mind that I wasn't able to show people how good I could play," said Harris, who had been hampered by a hamstring injury that limited him to 15 carries for 35 yards in two games. "I think this says we're not just a team everyone can run over. I would say I think this week I felt my leg getting back to normal."
South Florida was in position to take the lead late in the fourth quarter. But on third-and-one at the Temple 23, with around 1:30 left to play, Demetri Murray went wide and was pulled down by Temple linebacker Tyler Matakevich, a true freshman who had a team-high 15 tackles, for a five-yard loss.
That forced Bulls' kicker Maikon Bonani to try a 45-yard field goal, which was batted down by Green and picked up by Anthony Robey, who advanced the ball to the South Florida 35. Harris closed a strong day by taking a handoff 35 yards for a touchdown on the following play to seal Temple's victory with 1:03 left.
"We had an inside play called initially," said South Florida coach Skip Holtz, whose quarterback, B.J. Daniels, had limited mobility due to a sore ankle. "We had some success running up the middle, we just didn't execute it. It wasn't the play call at all. It was the execution. We played a great game and we're all hurting a little bit. But I've yet to see anyone throw their arms up and put their heads in the sand. I think there's a lot left to play."

Re: What is the ghosts camp preorder bonus?tracy Jan 8, 2014 4:19 PM (in response to maccabi)
I know, best one I came across was someone having an issue with the app - they replied, marked correct and locked the thread - without actually including the link they were supposed to have posted for the postee to check compatibility. As for the pre order bonus here are 2 links that give some details, but 1 doesn't clarify what it was.

id be curious to what the answer will be
Re: What is the ghosts camo preorder bonus?EmiliozGunz Jan 9, 2014 7:52 AM (in response to maccabi)
Hello Maccabi,
As was stated several times in our support forums, and other threads, once a matter has been addressed it is locked to avoid thread hijacking or other random discussions.
From what I can gather from your post, most of this is general feedback on our procedures on how we handle forum post, which we do greatly appreciate.
Now, the pre-order ghost camo was an in game weapon camo for Black Ops 2. I have included this Activision Support article that will provide all of the information that you seek. It covers, what retailers offered this, as well as how to use the code. Since Ghost is now released, there is really no way to obtain the code.
For additional questions/concerns, please feel free to message me.

Republican Vaughan will run for Town Council
Republican Vaughan will run for Town Council
SCITUATE - Rocky Vaughan has announced that he will run in the Scituate Town Council race. In a press release, Vaughan calls himself a new type of Republican, or "roguepublican."
Vaughan said he did not seek endorsement from the town's Republican committee, as he cannot himself endorse the "out-of-touch candidates it runs year after year."
Vaughan volunteers for the town on the North Scituate Fire Departments as an EMT and fire and rescue lieutenant. From his 11 years at the fire department, he said he knows firsthand how the Town Council's special interests "hurt" the community.
He said that the current Town Council "gives special privileges and thousands of taxpayer dollars" to an "unreliable at best" volunteer ambulance corps, has allowed "unconstitutional property rights violations" on Peeptoad Road costing possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars from legal fees, "blocks and berates business and small business owners" like Tractor Supply, which is now instead building in Johnston, and the "public lambasting" of The Providence Grass Company.
"All these examples point back to the special interests and personal ties of Town Council members," he said.
Vaughan said he believes Scituate can elect a better representative to serve on the Town Council.
The Republican primary will be held Tuesday, Sept. 9. Registered Republicans and independents may vote.

Embarrassed apology over Bush incident
ZAMBIA| July 6, 2012, 4:21 p.m.
A visit to Zambia by former US President George W. Bush has ended with and apology and a wave of online debate.
The former US head of State visited President Michael Sata this week, where Sata is reported to have made comments criticizing Bush as a"colonialist" who had "stolen Africa's resources" and had returned to pay it back.
"And you have all drifted away; you have abandoned Africa after taking all our raw commodities, our raw materials and build your cities," President Sata said to President Bush at the press conference. "I mean, as far as you are concerned Africa doesn't exist. And when we have a former colonialist like you coming back to pay back what you took out of this country we are grateful."
Bush is reported to have noted that the US itself had once fought colonialism.
According to the George W. Bush Presidential Center, the visit by the former American head of state included the opening of the new African Center of Excellence for Women's Cancer Control at University Teaching Hospital, the donation of a new electronic hub (e-Hub), and the announcement of aid from from Airborne Lifeline, a non-profit organization that will provide airfreight services for medical equipment and transport medical personnel and patients.
Former Zambian President Rupiah Banda followed the incident with a letter to Bush's offices offering an apology on behalf of the Zambian people.
"It is deeply regrettable that such statements were made on the same day as the celebration of your Independence Day, marking the universally shared hope of self-determination and freedom that inspires oppressed people of the world," President Banda wrote in the letter to President Bush.
"No matter what political views different parties may hold, the people of Zambia are peace loving, welcoming, and focused positively on the future, not the past. We are especially grateful for your generous contribution to women's healthcare in our country."
This, in turn, led to the office of President Sata issuing a statement saying the President "is deeply embarrassed with immediate-past President Mr. Rupiah Bwezani Banda's hyperbole over his lighted-hearted conversation with former United States president George W. Bush."
The statement said: "It is very unfortunate that Mr. Banda has chosen to play very cheap politics on a matter that does not concern him. Mr. Banda is remotely connected if not totally disconnected to the matter at hand, as he does not understand the nature of the personal relationship that I have cultivated with former president Bush."
In online talk forums and Twitter, many citizens critcised Sata, while others felt an 'honest talk' with the US dignitary was not out of line.

*she wrote that while he was asleep. He deleted her post too. I asked him about her this morning he said she is like a best friend that if I want to talk to her then I can he will call her so I can talk to her. Well I am going to take him up on that offer. He says in the country Boo Boo means someone close to you not like my Boo. Well he didn't say Boo Boo for 1 and for 2 I will talk to her. She will tell me. Oh and he is not raciest. If he was he wouldn't be with me at all. I am not black.

It was a cold, rainy day in June 2012, and actress Joanna Gleason remembers being "completely bundled up" in "what was essentially a parka," a hood and glasses for her first visit to Provincetown during her first Cape Cod vacation. She was walking with her husband, actor Chris Sarandon, when "a distinguished-looking gentleman" in a tweed suit rode by on a bicycle and shouted "I love you!"
Startled, Gleason called "Come back here!" and the bicyclist turned around. And so began the actress' journey to her first-ever solo show after more than 25 years of saying no to the idea.
Gleason, a Tony Award-winning stage actress with dozens of film and TV credits ranging from Woody Allen movies to "The West Wing" and "The Good Wife," will premiere a mixed evening of acting, singing and chatting Friday and next Saturday at The Art House in Provincetown. After "a million years" of declining solo performances, she's excited enough about this opportunity to talk about how this show — and maybe a second one because there was so much music she loves that she couldn't use — is portable enough to perhaps take to other venues.
The guy on the bicycle turned out to be author/columnist Kevin Sessums, and they struck up a conversation, first there and later on Facebook and email. He wondered if she'd ever considered performing in Provincetown. She had, actually, during that visit, when she and Sarandon came upon the Art House on Commercial Street, liked the look of it and even peeked in enough to count seats in the dark.
And after experiencing Provincetown, "it seemed like the most wonderful place to do something for the first time," she says in a phone interview. "The community is so embracing "� and sweet."
For a show, she thought of "Bloom," a 20-minute play by Michael Patrick King ("Sex and the City" producer) that she'd performed in a Los Angeles double bill with Sarandon in 1998. And when she met over brunch with Art House producer Mark Cortale, he mentioned shows by Well Strung, a singing string quartet. She thought, "I wouldn't be so terrified of singing if they were there."
That's much of what stopped her from other solo shows: fear. Gleason, 63, has frequently sung on stage, including winning a Tony and other awards in 1988 as the Baker's Wife in Stephen Sondheim's "Into the Woods" and a later Tony nomination as Muriel in Broadway's "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels." But that was singing in character. A solo show is "a whole different animal," she says. "Some girls are just built for that. They're wonderful cabaret singers."
Gleason never felt that was her. So at Art House, she will play a character for "Bloom" (a jaded spiritual guide for souls in heaven) and for the evening, though she says that character is essentially her. It's a fine line, and here's how she describes the show: "The first part is a play that's very me, the character speaking is me, me in my own comfort zone." It's comedic, yet poignant, with "the persona I'm most comfortable being on stage," talking about "stuff that means the most to me."
Then the guys of Well Strung will perform, and she'll sing. "The songs are songs I like to do, that my husband and I like to do, that are part of the theme of my life right now."
The choices won't be from her past musicals, Gleason says, because those work better in context and she's "done them, and done them at the best level." Noting the pinnacle of a 2010 reunion with "Woods" co-star Chip Zien to sing "It Takes Two" for a Sondheim tribute concert at Lincoln Center with the New York Philharmonic playing, she laughs and says, "Why would I ever want to touch that again?"
In Provincetown, after singing, she'll sit down and chat about her life and career with host/pianist Seth Rudetsky — the usual style of the Broadway at the Art House series. Then she's built in "a surprise from part of (her) life," and her hour-or-so show will be finished.
That "surprise" isn't Sarandon ("Dog Day Afternoon," "The Princess Bride") because Gleason readily mentions he will be sitting in playing drums. Son Aaron David Gleason will be on guitar. When the family's musical talent is noted, Gleason jokes, "Yeah, yeah, we're the Von Trapp Family Singers!"
Gleason says she "couldn't be more excited" that my first time with the act will be in Provincetown and marvels at the "fortuitousness" of circumstances coming together enough that she's "bit" now by the idea of this kind of performing.
But any future shows will have to fit in with other projects. She's due to arrive here this weekend to get ready, but will fly to Las Vegas next week to film one last scene for a movie she just did. She recently wrote a screenplay that is in pre-production for a small movie she would direct, and she also wrote a novel, which she says she's set aside while putting her solo act together.
What she has apparently not kept up on is casting news for the Disney film of her beloved "Into the Woods." When asked what she thought of actress Emily Blunt being cast in Gleason's iconic role of Baker's Wife, Gleason sounded surprised.
"I love her!" she exclaimed. "She's a brilliant choice! She'll be fantastic!"

I went to North Lake in Golden Gate Park in search of Yellow Warblers that had been reported there. Instead I found three of these guys sauntering around in daylight. This guy showed up as I was setting up my tripod. An un-cropped shot, but taken through my 500mm lens and a tele-converter. I was about 20 feet away, and I don't recommend getting any closer than that. After standing up on two feet and sniffing at me, it turned and walked back into the brush on the shoreline. There are American Coots year-round at the lake. Here near the north shore, a floating nest in coot incubating eggs. She blends in nicely with the reeds. The male coots were still feeling randy and kept chasing each other and displaying like this one. The Mallards, more than 20 spend their time at the south end of the lake. Their eggs had hatched a while back … Finally, Steller's Jays were about, looking for seeds. Another corvidae, The Common Ravens were present as well in a tree close to where I had parked. Before heading home, I checked out a report of three Great Horned Owl fledglings at another location in the park, and found them napping in a tree.
Wherever you have trees and flowers, you will find birds and the birds at the Berkeley Botanical Gardens are comfortable around people. It was easy to photograph them with a moderate long lens without spooking them. It was a very relaxed atmosphere and I found some great bird life on a recent visit.
Flying overhead a Red-tailed Hawk was soaring low enough for a good view.
I had trouble identifying this one, but got help from the SFBirds list members. It's a juvenile Oregon Junco.
We see lots of Anna's Hummingbirds, but over in Berkeley, all we saw were the Allen's
And where you find flowers, you find insects and insects that hunt other insects, like this beautiful red dragonfly.
While you are there, don't forget to enjoy the flowers too…
Thanks for viewing and please visit the Berkeley Botanical Gardens.

On our first day in Edinburgh Scotland, we fought off jet lag by walking from our inn to Blackford Hill where the Royal Observatory was located. My Scotland birding guide book mentioned the park there as a great place to experience several bird species. But on the way there, we kept hearing a beautiful songbird singing out of sight among the many homes. Finally I found one on a roof gutter singing. It is known as the Common Blackbird, it's Latin name is Turdus merula.
Solid black with a yellow beak and yellow ring around the eye. "It has a beautiful, mellow song that is a slow, clear warble, which 'tails off' at the end."
Listen to it here at the British Library which has the Blackbird song with song print.
So what can I leave you with.
Appreciate all life – and don't ignore the common.
Comments are always welcome. Thanks for looking and listening.
Buteo's are known as hawks here in North America, but over in Scotland and indeed all of Great Britain, they are called buzzards. There are nine buteo species in North America, the most common of which is the Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis). There is only one species of buteo found in Scotland, and they simply call it the Buzzard (Buteo buteo). The field guide Raptors of the World calls it Common Buzzard and says it is sometimes treated as conspecific (same species) with the Red-tailed Hawk. This guide even shows one version, a Rufus adult with a red tail. Plumage variation in the Common Buzzard varies a great deal, much as it does in the Red-tailed Hawk. However, this is the only place I can find reference to them being conspecific. So here is a photo quiz. These are all shots I took on my travels here and in Scotland. Look at the following photos and decide, Red-tailed Hawk or Buzzard. Post a comment as to which each one is. I'll post the answers after you have had a chance to study the photos.
Recently Charlene and I spent 10 days vacationing in Scotland. While there, I did some birding and wanted to share some of the birds I photographed on the trip. In this post I would like to show a comparison with our Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) and the Grey Heron (Ardea cinerea) found in Scotland and other locations in Great Britain and Europe and Asia.
First are two photos of a Grey Heron taken on May 30th at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh Scotland
a close-up of its head
And now here are two shots of Great Blue Herons taken here in the San Francisco Bay area. Note the brown area on the wing.
from Wikipedia summarizing the physical differences…
The Great Blue Heron
It is the largest North American heron and, among all extant herons, it is surpassed only by the Goliath heron (Ardea goliath) and the white-bellied heron (Ardea insignis). It has head-to-tail length of 91–137 cm (36–54 in), a wingspan of 167–201 cm (66–79 in), a height of 115–138 cm (45–54 in), and a weight of 1.82–3.6 kg (4.0–7.9 lb)"
"The great blue heron is replaced in the Old World by the very similar grey heron (Ardea cinerea), which differs in being somewhat smaller (90–98 cm (35–39 in)), with a pale gray neck and legs, lacking the browner colors that great blue heron has there. The grey heron (which occupies the same ecological niche in Eurasia as the great blue heron) has very similar plumage but has a solidly soft-gray neck."
The Grey Heron
It is a large bird, standing up to 100 cm (39 in) tall and measuring 84–102 cm (33–40 in) long with a 155–195 cm (61–77 in) wingspan.[2] The body weight can range from 1.02–2.08 kg (2.2–4.6 lb).[3] Its plumage is largely grey above, and off-white below. Adults have a white head with a broad black supercilium and slender crest, while immatures have a dull grey head. It has a powerful, pinkish-yellow bill, which is brighter in breeding adults. It has a slow flight, with its long neck retracted (S-shaped)
So there you have it. The Grey Heron is a little smaller, solidly soft-gray neck, and lacks the brown areas on the wings and legs.
If you want to see the complete series of the Grey Heron and the rest of the birds photographed on the trip, you can check them out at this page…

Inspired by big brother Lowlands, that other famed Campingflight in the Flevopolder, we are going to take a three-day tumble in De Groene Heuvels (The Green Hills) park, hidden in the rolling land between the Maas and Waal rivers, neighbour to an underwater paradise with a centuries-old natural source. Idyllic indeed!
"Down The Rabbit Hole" says adventure, confusion, surrealism and psychedelics, which has been an inspiration for (psycho) rockers, DJs, artists, designers and filmmakers ever since the rise of the pop culture in the uncurbed 1960s… Good company, so get ready to tumble… It's A Campingflight Down The Rabbit Hole!
And we will go down collectively, so be prepared. A frontrunner line-up on the stages and equal measures of thrill in and around those tents. It's your party too, so: spin a record, cook a meal, build a raft, hip a hop. We're out and we're loose. But let's party in a sustainable way: we'll keep it green & clean. We have all the time in the world, there's no rush. Take your time to dine, go meditate in the forest, lie down in the green pasture, swim for a bit, help build the tower, strum by the campfire, discover hidden discos… Have a ball with brand-new bands or finally see that classic artist in full swing. Build your own party and celebrate, enjoy what you do, all with an open mind.
What exactly we will do from 26 to 28 June 2015 is still a surprise… but grab your snorkel and let's tumble down. It will take three days before we come up; there's no one-day trip Down The Rabbit Hole. Bring your tent or camper to De Groene Heuvels in Beuningen (in the province of Gelderland) or make reservations later this year for another place to sleep, such as a bungalow or gypsy wagon or army tent… In short, pick your very own favourite hole.
Down The Rabbit Hole, where you are who you are when no one can see you.

"Henrik's Halmstad page" Halmstad by Calcio
Halmstad Travel Guide: 56 reviews and 95 photos
Halmstads BK is one of the clubs just under the really classic swedish football clubs. Located on the south west side of Sweden it's a real summer city, and a football game there in June-August is always very nice.
Could be a good thing to spend a whole day in Halmstad before the game, as the city and the surroundings during the summer is among the best places in Sweden. The Tylösand beach, the pubs in the city center, a walk beside the river Nissan are among the things that have made Halmstad famous.
The football club is quite special, as their speciality is to find young talents in small clubs, build them up to good football players, sell them expensive to big clubs, and then start all over again with new, young, talents.
It has made the club rich, but naturally it's hard for them to become really good. Their latest championship they won back in 1997, but just a few years ago they were playing in the group stage of the Uefa cup, after having won against Sporting Lisboa in the qualification.
- Pros:The summer games
- Cons:The winter games
- In a nutshell:Go here in the summer - fantastic!

The conference will take place on the 20th and 21st of November from 9:30 am to 8:00 pm. There will be two main themes or tracks: Security and JavaScript.
Workshops will run in parallel with talks. We will do our best to ensure that Security workshops are scheduled during the Javascript talks and viceversa, so you can attend most of the tracks you are interested in.
