Choose Between Two Options
- $10 for 3 games of laser tag (a $21 value)
- $25 for 10 games of laser tag (a $50 value)<p>
Though hiding from opponents deep within the jungles and cave mazes surrounding ancient Incan temple ruins would normally induce acute panic attacks, it's actually part of the fun at LazerRush. After viewing an instructional film that covers the game's rules, players equip themselves with a laser-sensitive vest and phaser. Once inside the 5,800-square-foot arena, they slalom through dark and smoky corridors on missions to defend their base, conquer their competitor's base, and confuse as many vagabond cats as possible.
After each game, scores reveal where participants placed, which opponents they hit, and which opponents hit them in turn. Outside the arena, meanwhile, scores keep spectators abreast of the action inside, as do large plasma monitors that stream each game.

If you are not ready to pay a price you are too weak to start taking risk in the first place.
Paradoxically, a bad loser is not of the winners. So, you learn to lose as a part of learning to win.
You better know in advance what to do when you lose.
The simple thing to keep in mind is that you do not need to perish each time you fail something. The wheel will keep turning, there will be ups and downs, as long as you live.
You may even take advantage from the occasion of loss; losing with grace and courage will not only ease loss or help you out of failure, but also build up your credibility and the respect of other people - the substance of future success.

Hey all, I'm a 90% car-free cyclists in Raleigh and I'm wondering if there are many other people who are carless who'd like to get together for a ride, to discuss cycling, or whatever...
I'm still 10% a car person because I drive for work. But not to work, I personally don't own a car. And although I do drive for my job and the job deals with making roads safer and traffic less of a problem I still consider my job somewhat unethical and am looking for a job that agrees with my morals...alright..enough of my guilt trip.
so....anyone in Raleigh?

The Cruising Yacht Club of Australia, located in Darling Point, NSW, and best known for hosting the annual Rolex Sydney Hobart Yacht Race, recently constructed a new hardstand area and installed new staging pontoons, adjacent to their crane, for vessels waiting to be loaded in and out of the Bay.
Cruising Yacht Club of Australia adds 99 meters of side-tie moorage
The Club hired world marina builder, Bellingham Marine to design and construct the new pontoons. The company has a long history with the club. 'The Cruising Yacht Club of Australia has enjoyed a wonderful working relationship with Bellingham Marine for over 20 years, beginning with the design, replacement and installation of our 214 berth floating marina in 1999, and more recently with the extension and reconfiguration of the marina as part of stage one and two of a six stage redevelopment master plan', said Mark Woolf, Chief Executive Officer of the CYCA.
The new pontoons skirt the existing wharf structure and follow along the new hardstand providing the club with over 99 meters of new moorage space in the club's 'pond'. The Pond is an open area at the front of the club which is used to accommodate short term berthing requirements for members and visitors. The new pontoons can accommodate up to 10 Etchells sailing boats with capacity to moor yachts up to 10 meters in length.
Composite I-beams were used to connect the pontoons to the hardstand area. Steel components would typically be used for this type of application; however, the Club wanted to use a material that would have a longer service life. 'The composite beams were lightweight, durable and easy to work with,' remarked Gary Charlwood, Manager of Project Development for Bellingham Marine Australia. 'They proved to be a success.'
The entire project was under a tight timeline, as the club's was very anxious to have the project completed and have all material, personnel, and equipment off site at least one week before the 26th of December – the opening day of the Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. 'Everything was completed on time and the Club is very happy with the new facility,' said Charlwood.
Bellingham Marine also manufactured and supplied six heavy duty stainless steel ladders, which were fitted to the new hardstand.

Share queries in the Power BI Data Catalog
[ Power Query version 2.1 0 ]
You can share information about a query in the Power BI Data Catalog with all users or a specific set of users within the organization. Shared queries appear in search results when users perform an online search in Power Query. This enables the users to easily discover and reuse the shared queries and their underlying data for their data analysis and reporting.
In this article
Share a query to the Data Catalog
To share a data set as a query:
Sign in to Power BI. In Excel, on the POWER QUERY tab, click Sign In. In the Sign In dialog box, click Sign In, and enter your organizational account information that was used when you signed up for Power BI.
Important When you sign in to Power BI using your organizational account enables you to share queries within your organization and also to discover and use queries shared by other users within your organization. You cannot share queries or find and use queries that other users have shared, if you are not signed in to Power BI.
After you sign in, on the QUERY tab, click Send to Data Catalog. You can also share your query from the Query fly-out on the Navigation pane.
In the Send to Data Catalog dialog box:
Specify a name and description for your query.
Tip You can provide a concise and meaningful name and a description that explains how users should use the query and its data. The description should include enough information to enable others to choose the right query, and understand how and where it should be used, in the context of the business processes to which the data relates, not in the context of the system or systems from which the data is taken. Also, remember that the name and description are added to the cloud search index for use in Power Query online searches, so a complete description is valuable in multiple ways. Note The user account that shares a query will by default have access to the query even if his/her account is not explicitly specified when you choose Specific people and groups of people.
To include a preview of the top rows when others search for the query, ensure that the Upload first few rows for preview check box is selected.
Caution If you enable preview for your shared query, the data referenced by the query is visible to users in the preview fly out even if they do not have access to the data, although they cannot use the query to import data unless they have access to it. You might want to disable previews for your query if it contains references to sensitive data to prevent unauthorized users from viewing partial dataset in the preview.
Click Send.
Important When you share a query, it may take up to five minutes for your shared query to be available via online search. Your shared query will be immediately available to you in the Shared pane in Power Query, but will not appear in search results until the search index is updated, which may take up to five minutes to complete. For information about viewing your shared queries in the Shared pane, see View and Update Your Shared Queries.
What happens when you share a query?
The following information (metadata) gets stored in the Power BI Data Catalog in the cloud for a shared query:
Query name and description
Location of the data sources used by the query. For example, URL, server name/database name, and computer name/file name depending upon the type of data source. Once Power BI is aware of a data source and stores it in the Power BI Data Catalog, you can view and manage the data sources using the Manage Data portal to annotate them with friendly names, descriptions, and access URLs. For more information, see Manage Data Source Information using the Manage Data Portal.
Query certification status.
Search access list for the query to determine which users/security groups can find and use this shared query.
The URL for query documentation, if specified.
A preview of the data referenced by the query, if data preview was selected for the query.
The query definition in the form of a Power Query script that specifies how to connect to the query's data sources and transform the data. This script is created when you filter and shape data in your query.
This information in the Power BI Data Catalog helps users to find and use shared queries. When you use a shared query in Power Query, the query definition is executed in Excel to import the data referenced by the query into a new worksheet in Excel. To find and consume shared queries using online search in Power Query, see Find and Use Shared Queries.

What grade would you give The Americans pilot?
Give a grade to The Americans premiere.
Judging from the pilot, this has the makings of being a great series. Well acted, intelligent, exciting, and not too predictable (although it was a little predictable that the FBI new-neighbor would come snooping around). This could be up there with Person Of Interest as a must-watch series. I'm in!
I gave it a A because this is what a spy drama should be.I loved it.

Das allgemeine Streben nach energieeffizienten Anlagen, bedingt durch den Klimawandel und die absehbare Verknappung fossiler Rohstoffe, gewinnt in den letzten Jahrzehnten vermehrt an Bedeutung. Der Einfluss dieses Strebens ist auch im Bereich der Kälte- und Klimatechnik sowie der chemischen Industrie gegenwärtig. In diesen Bereichen werden Wärmeübertrager und im Speziellen Rohrbündelwärmeübertrager als grundlegende Komponenten in einer Vielzahl von technischen Anlagen zum Verdampfen und Verflüssigen von Wasser, Ölen, Kältemitteln und Gasen eingesetzt.

The outstanding feature of this stage in America, curiously enough, is that there seems to have been too much theoretical knowledge, this being the cause of several failures. In fact it was generally considered as absolutely necessary to evaporate the oil first and then to burn the oil gas. Although this may be quite right from a theoretical point of view (our modern spray burners produce liquid drops which evaporate by radiation of heat, and the gas thus produced is burnt), the idea of heating and evaporating the fuel oil in a separate retort and burning the oil gas under the boilers led to nothing but complete failures. This unsatisfactory start gave oil burning a bad reputation in America and this is perhaps the reason why America was rather late in the industrial application of oil burning on a large scale, so that it was not until 1890–1900 that the first merchantmen of the Pacific Coast tried oil burning.

At this point it should be clear that the principle of virtual work is an integral form of expressing equilibrium, and when we introduce the other two basic requirements to be satisfied, namely, compatibility and the constitutive behavior into the virtual work statement, we have the mathematical model formulated in integral form. It is then called the variational formulation of the problem.

An algorithm is proposed to optimize the performance of a two-phase composite under dynamic loading. The goal is to determine a series of different layouts of the two base materials in a three-dimensional region such that the time-averaged stress energy is minimized. Four cases with different boundary conditions and ratios of mass density are considered and solved numerically. The resulting optimal designs are compared to the static case to illustrate the effect of the dynamic loading. Furthermore, a qualitative comparison is done to indicate the difference between the optimization of eigenfrequencies and the present formulation.

This paper describes why thek-dimension maximal oriented energy subspace of the measurable voltage-change matrix is the optimal feature to locate faults in a population of circuits. The paper elaborately designs a "nearness" concept, which is used to construct a fault candidate set in a small size, and proposes a maximal nearness criterion. On the basis of these, the paper presents a novel algorithm to efficiently improve the accuracy and speed of fault locating.

The demographic change in modern societies has a significant impact on the future planning of self-determined mobility and mobility means. An optimized accessibility of the means of transportation is required, as well as their connection towards buildings and residences. These connections have to be modular and compatible to the mobility means of the users. Barrier-free accessibility according to the existing norms can address these problems only partially. Broader and holistic concepts are needed here. The project PASSAge aims at the implementation of seamless mobility chains that smoothly connect private and public space. Mobility shall be ensured by the extension of existing mobility means with user-oriented components. The project follows the approach to complement the barrier-free access and usage of public transportation with mostly electrically powered compact vehicles and micro vehicles. These have to be adapted by physical means and information technology means to residences and building structures. Core of the project is to develop a flexible socio-technical infrastructure with a multitude of mobility means and modular buildings, thus creating synergy effects. An important goal of the approach is the development of business models, which allow for and ensure the allocation and coordination of mobility services. Interfaces will be created for all compact vehicles and micro vehicles that extend their functionality both digitally and physically and thereby enable their ubiquitous connection to the envisioned services.

MLB notebook: Phillies' Lee will have MRI on left elbow
Pirates/MLB Videos
• Phillies ace Cliff Lee had an MRI exam on his sore throwing elbow. Lee remained in Philadelphia to undergo the test after pitching 6 2⁄3 innings Sunday to beat Cincinnati. Lee, 35, is 4-4 this season with a 3.18 ERA in 68 innings.
• MLB.com reported the Red Sox signed free-agent shortstop Stephen Drew to a one-year, $10 million deal. Drew, who batted .253 with 13 homers and 67 RBIs for Boston last season, rejected the team's one-year, $14.1 million qualifying offer in November.
• Manager Joe Girardi said Carlos Beltran will take swings next week before the Yankees decide if the right fielder needs surgery on his right elbow.
• Prince Fielder still is out of the Rangers lineup. The slugger was on the original lineup posted for Tuesday's game versus Seattle. But Fielder, who was given an injection Saturday for a stiff neck, was scratched before the game after taking some swings.
• The Indians activated Jason Giambi from the disabled list. Giambi, 43, has been on the disabled list since May 5 with a strained calf. Before he was placed on the DL, Giambi was hitless in 10 at-bats.
• Dodgers prospect Alex Guerrero will need surgery after his teammate, catcher Miguel Olivo, bit off part of his ear during a dugout scuffle during a game between Triple-A Albuquerque and Salt Lake. The incident appeared to stem from an on-field argument between the pair during an earlier pitching change.
• MLB.com reported Giants catcher Buster Posey is day-to-day with nerve irritation in his lower back.

Shining in the Center: Central Gaze Cascade Effect on Product Choice
Consumers' tendency to choose the option in the center of an array and the process underlying this effect is explored. Findings from two eye-tracking studies suggest that brands in the horizontal center receive more visual attention. They are more likely to be chosen. Investigation of the attention process revealed an initial central fixation bias, a tendency to look first at the central option, and a central gaze cascade effect, progressively increasing attention focused on the central option right prior to decision. Only the central gaze cascade effect was related to choice. An offline study with tangible products demonstrated that the centrally located item within a product category is chosen more often, even when it is not placed in the center of the visual field. Despite widespread use, memory-based attention measures were not correlated with eye-tracking measures. They did not capture visual attention and were not related to choice.

Re: Star Trek: Restoration - Onyx
Okay, so far, I think it's a guy thing, this liking Colin despite his lecherous ways. Because speaking as a woman, he makes my skin crawl. Yuck. I have known guys like this and they are just not nice people deep down, regardless of how idealistic or polite or competent they might otherwise be. I think it's the fact that he's trying to be subtle about it that's bothering me -- he's a manipulator, which very much goes along with the territory of the job he's got. It's one thing to be a womanizer, but be up front about it, please. Colin is just reminding me of a horrible guy I once dated (who was, unsurprisingly, in the same exact line of work). He's well written, but he's icky.
And Williams is connected to the augment? Oh, boy. I feel like I need a diagram to plot all the connections here. It's a very tangled web, Joel! And wonderfully entertaining, as always!

Pristina really is a city where politics, recent history, ancient history and day-to-day life collide. Where stark communist blocks lie next to striking remnants of its Ottoman past. Beautiful 15th century mosques, hamams, clock towers and bazaars are all here to give you that distinctive eastern feeling. Amongst all this you'll find the hustle and bustle of the city's community life, mostly through the hum of the open-air cafes that flank the streets, particularly in Dardania. Sitting and drinking coffee is a national pastime and you'll be hard pushed to get a better macchiato anywhere in the world. And when they're not feeding their caffeine addictions the locals like nothing better than to hit the bars around Rexhep Luci and Peyton, where musical preferences range from dance and rock to hip-hop and jazz.
And throughout the city you'll find fabulous eateries selling everything from local dishes to high-class cuisine, not to mention good quality kebab vendors on every corner.
Make time for a visit to the Kosova Art Gallery for a fresh dose of modern art. There are regularly changing exhibitions of local and international artists, and special events (60 Rruga Agim Ramadani, galeriakombetare.com).
Get away for some skiing in Brezovica, 70km south of Pristina. The slopes are excellent, with accommodation, restaurants and bars getting better every year. Avoid busy weekends and check in advance if the chair lifts are running (Dane ski rental, email@example.com).

MUMBAI: Last Tuesday, All India Bakchod, a firm of comedians and impressionists, used its Facebook page to invite applications for internships in Mumbai. A written, sample piece of humour was compulsory with every application.
"Despite advising candidates to sleep over their work and not be in haste, we got 480 applications in the first two days," says co-founder of the company Tanmay Bhat. The firm had got 1,200 applications nationally during an earlier hiring drive in March. The company booked Rs1.5 crore in revenues from 20-odd shows during past five months. About half-a-dozen startups including The East India Comedy, The Viral Fever and Weirdass Comedy — all focussed on the business of humour — are now in the market to hire stand-up comedians, improvisers, satirists, etc. Salaries could be pretty attractive. Once established, a comedian can earn as much as Rs20-30 lakh a year, says Bhat.

Website: www.laotizer.com
7:00 p.m. | Mike Zito and The Wheel
A rising star in the blues/roots world for the past several years as a performer, songwriter and producer, Zito won the Blues Music Award for "Song of the Year" for the title-track of his Pearl River album, which he co-wrote with Cyril Neville. Website: http://www.mikezito.com/
11:00 a.m. | Latino American Harp Ensemble

We seek to promote our musical culture, impregnated with a heritage rich in rhythms, genres, and colors. Our music reflects the uniqueness of our syncretic culture: what we are and share in the Latin American Harp Ensemble.
12:30 p.m. | Christy Rossiter & 112 North Duck
Christy Rossiter & 112 North Duck play a progressive, high-energy, hard-rocking, guitar-driven brand of blues. Lead singer Christy Rossiter brings a big voice to the table and is as comfortable singing the roadhouse rockers as she is the smooth blues ballads. The band is powered by the electrifying guitar of Steve Byam and the propulsive rhythm work of Chet Crinklaw (bass) and J. E. Van Horne (drums).
2:00 p.m. | The Dust Jackets
The Dust Jackets is an American roots blues-rockabilly band from Lincoln, Nebraska. The band is fronted by husband and wife duo Travis and Becky Koester, joined on the drums by Nick Woodward. Website: www.thedustjackets.com

Obviously, there are elements of traditional country in what we do, elements of vintage rock and roll, soul and all that sort of stuff. We always try to stay grounded in that traditional blues center, and at the same time branch out and do as many different things as we can while still keeping it consistent with the sound we've developed."

You can do more with Facebook, but Twitter can easily be updated. Why not go for both?
twitter is better in social media marketing, because Twitter give me more unique visitor for my site.
In twitter easy to navigate and update, link to and promote anything while in facebook it is quite difficult. Facebook mainstay platform that needs to grow out of its shell while twitter has opportunity to become utility-like infrastructure, but not a destination.
It depends on traffic you are targeting. I prefer Twitter for more tech related users and Facebook for younger people.
Follow me on Twitter: @hendricius
I like Twitter because you can get more followers easily through Twitter as opposed to Facebook. Facebook seems to work better for connecting to friends and family. Twitter works better at connecting to like-minded people which is great for promoting your site or product.

hi all, i have a general question that which of among them have more fan community either face book or twitter,i am the marketing research student i needed that information for my project,please let me informed with proves.
Facebook has an Alexa rating of 2 and Twitter has an Alexa rating of 11, so it looks like Facebook still enjoys a comfortable lead on Twitter.
Google Trends also shows Facebook in the lead.

Since 2002 Perimeter Institute has been recording seminars, conference talks, and public outreach events using video cameras installed in our lecture theatres. Perimeter now has 7 formal presentation spaces for its many scientific conferences, seminars, workshops and educational outreach activities, all with advanced audio-visual technical capabilities. Recordings of events in these areas are all available On-Demand from this Video Library and on Perimeter Institute Recorded Seminar Archive (PIRSA). PIRSA is a permanent, free, searchable, and citable archive of recorded seminars from relevant bodies in physics. This resource has been partially modelled after Cornell University's arXiv.org.
The path integral is a very elegant formulation of quantum theory. It can also be an incredibly useful one, since it allows us to use methods of statistical physics, like computer simulations.
In this talk I will introduce the subject of Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations to solve the path integral over geometries. This general introduction will use examples from Causal Dynamical Triangulations, Causal Set Theory and Non Commutative geometry to show how different issues can be explored in this manner.
The orbital angular momentum in a chiral superfluid has posed a paradox for several decades. For example, for the $p+ip$-wave superfluid of $N$ fermions, the total orbital angular momentum should be $N/2$ if all the fermions form Cooper pairs. On the other hand, it appears to be substantially suppressed from $N/2$, considering that only the fermions near the Fermi surface would be affected by the pairing interaction. To resolve the long-standing question, we studied chiral superfluids in a two-dimensional circular well, in terms of a conserved charge and spectral flows.
I will overview recent progress in understanding Weyl anomalies and the a-theorem in supersymmetric six-dimensional field theories.
The primary objective of an effective field theory is modelling observables at the given scale. The subject of this talk is a notion of observable at a given scale in a context that does not rely on a metric background.
In order for quantum fluctuations during inflation to be converted to classical stochastic perturbations, they must couple to an environment which produces decoherence. Gravity introduces inevitable nonlinearities or mode couplings. We study their contribution to quantum-to-classical behavior during inflation. Working in the Schrodinger picture, we evolve the wavefunctional for scalar fluctuations, accounting for minimal gravitational nonlinearities. The reduced density matrix for a given mode is then found by integrating out shorter-scale modes.
I will present a pedagogical introduction on the application of tensor networks to the renormalization group. This program has resulted in a non-perturbative, real-space RG approach for lattice systems and the multi-scale entanglement renormalization ansatz (MERA). The MERA is currently of interest in a wide range of research areas, from statistical mechanics to condensed matter, from quantum field theory to holography in quantum gravity.

"By learning about meat and where it comes from, we become more competent and responsible cooks and carnivores. In this tribute to farmers and animals, the Applestones and Ms. Zissu have put together a compelling guide to local and sustainable meat and poultry. In an honest, irreverent, and funny primer, we learn which are the best cuts for a given dish, how to cook (and serve) a perfect steak, and what to expect when buying a turkey. This charming and informative reference is sure to influence irreversibly the way we buy, prepare, and appreciate meat."
--James Peterson, author of Meat and Cooking
"If you like eating meat but want to eat ethically, this is the book for you. From the hard-headed, clear-eyed, and sympathetic perspective of butchers who care deeply about the animals whose parts they sell, the customers who buy their meats, and the pleasures of eating, this book has much to teach. It's an instant classic, making it clear why meat is part of the food revolution. I see it as the new Bible of meat aficionados and worth reading by all food lovers, meat-eating and not."
--Marion Nestle, Professor of Nutrition, Food Studies and Public Health, NYU, and author of What to Eat
"…clear, useful instruction on dealing with cuts of beef, lamb, pork, and poultry, interesting meditations on sustainable dining, and a dozen or so recipes thrown in for good measure."
--Publishers Weekly
"The new bible for conscious carnivores." – Bon Appétit

Visual jazz.
(Follow-upFilter) It's rare that jazz videos venture beyond filming live performances. This makes the exceptions all the more notable. Animation seems the medium of choice: from George Griffin's 1988 paper collage for Charlie Parker's "Ko Ko" to Len Lye's swinging The Lambeth Walk (1939), or (stretching musical definitions just a bit) his 1958 masterpiece "Free Radicals". More recent jazz seems to fit just as well: witness Lung's psychotic piece for Ladyscraper's "Thou Art Fucking Dead". [more inside]

Additional Information
More information about this loan
Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas. Arariwa fosters village banking, supports savings accounts, promotes access to education, and empowers women entrepreneurs (who make up 78% of its borrowers).
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

SympathyForTheHero Sympathy For the Hero YKTTW Discussion
|Sympathy For the Hero
A villain, gray character or bystander feels sympathy or pity for a heroic character.Needs Examples
You are an honest and honorable man, Lord Eddard. Sometimes I forget that, I have met so few of them in my life. When I see what honor and honesty have won you, I understand why.Sympathy for the Devil. There, a hero or Anti-Hero feels sympathy for or relates to a bad guy. Here, a bad guy, morally gray character or Innocent Bystander feels sympathy or pity towards a hero, usually because Being Good Sucks and No Good Deed Goes Unpunished. Of course this may also be just a ploy if done by a villain, and can easily be a lead in to a Not So Different speech, offering to rule together, a Hannibal Lecture and/or trying to Break Them by Talking, etc. Compare It Sucks to Be the Chosen One and Antagonist in Mourning.
- During the Kindly Ones volume of The Sandman, Lucifer notes that while he once swore to destroy Dream (over a fairly trivial matter) he now feels almost sorry for him when he sees the mess that Dream has gotten into.
- There's a scene in The Prophecy where Satan briefly commiserates and shows sympathy to Detective Daggett, (a cop who years earlier lost his faith just before he was set to become a Catholic priest) about how hard it is to believe and keep faith.
- Villain Protagonist Yuri Orlov shows a grudging respect and admiration for Hero Antagonist Agent Valentine several timea in Lord of War, noting Valentine's honesty and integrity, as well as showing some sympathy when Valentine is about to be betrayed by the system he has risked his life defending.
- In the 2003 film version of Peter Pan, Hook uses a Hannibal Lecture on Peter to take away Pan's flight and distract him. Throughout it Hook talks about how Wendy will grow up, and move on, leaving Peter alone, forgotten, and old. At the end he suddenly looks tremendously sad and adds "Just like me".
- Spider-Man2: after Spider-Man saves the train from falling off the tracks, he's exhausted and almost falls off the train. The people in the train pull him back in and lay him on the floor. Peter's lost his mask in the fight, so everyone in the train can see how young he is. One man notes with sympathy "He's... just a kid. No older than my son."

Saruman rose to his feet and stared at Frodo. There was a strange look in his eyes of mingled wonder and respect and hatred. "You have grown, Halfling," he said "Yes, you have grown very much. You are wise, and cruel. You have robbed my revenge of its sweetness, and now I must go hence in bitterness, in debt to to your mercy. I hate it and you!"

OBJECTIVES: To examine racial/ethnic variations in rates of hospice use in a national cohort and to identify individual characteristics associated with hospice use.
DESIGN: Secondary analysis of the 1993 National Mortality Followback Survey (NMFS), a nationally obtained sample using death certificates and interviews with relatives (proxy respondents) to provide mortality, social, and economic data and information about healthcare utilization in the last year of life for 23,000 deceased individuals.
SETTING: Hospice care.
PARTICIPANTS: Individuals aged 15 and older who died in 1993. Subjects were included in this analysis if they died of nontraumatic causes (N = 11,291).
MEASUREMENTS: Hospice use was dichotomized by proxy responses indicating use or nonuse of home or inpatient hospice services. The percentage of individuals using hospice services in the last year of life was calculated.
RESULTS: Unadjusted bivariate results found that African Americans were less likely to use hospice than whites (odds ratio (OR) = 0.59; P < .001) and that those without a living will (LW) (OR = 0.23; P < .001) and without a cancer diagnosis (OR = 0.28; P < .001) were less likely to use hospice. The negative relationship between African Americans and hospice use was unaffected when controlled for sex, education, marital status, existence of a LW, income, and access to health care. Logistic models revealed that presence of a LW diminished the negative relationship between African Americans and hospice use, but the latter remained significant (OR = 0.83; P = .033). A subanalysis of subjects aged 55 and older showed a significant interaction between access to care and race/ethnicity with respect to hospice use (P = .044). Inclusion of income in this multivariable logistic model attenuated the relationship between African-American race/ethnicity and hospice use (OR = 0.77), and the difference between whites and African Americans became only marginally statistically significant (P = .060).
CONCLUSION: In the 1993 NMFS, hospice use was negatively associated with African-American race/ethnicity independent of income and access to healthcare. The relationship is not independent of age, insurance type, or history of stroke. For subjects aged 55 and older, access to healthcare may be an important confounder of the negative relationship between African-American race/ethnicity and hospice use. Consistent with previous studies, this analysis found that African Americans were less likely to use LWs than whites. The reduced importance of African-American race/ethnicity on hospice use with the inclusion of presence of a LW in logistic models suggests that similar cultural processes may shape differences between African Americans and whites in advance care planning and hospice use.

Here we have a red-ruffed lemur at the San Antonio Zoo. This picture quite literally took my breath away when I shot it -- not many of my shots do, so that should tell you a bit about my opinion of it. Hope you like it just as much.
Wow! look at that eye! it's amazing, looks like it has a printed flower inside
Yepp, it's amazing the amount of detail that can be contained within an iris. These are still some of the most amazing eyes that I've had a chance to photograph. Glad you like it.
I have a thing about animal eyes, and the eyes in this picture are simply gorgeous.
I just love red ruffed lemurs, last week I had the chance to visit a Zoo where you can actually sit next to them, being able to touch them and be part of the group. It was hilarious!
I keep stumbling across this picture, I've already faved it but I just had to comment because its so gorgeous. Stunning job, really love the detials of his whiskers and eye.
Haha, thanks. It's really weird how even in a site as big as dA is, you'll still run across the year-old same picture from time to time. Glad you like the shot enough to fav and comment (twice!). I appreciate the kind words.
Stunning shot!
*stares back*
Oh goodness, I love how it looks, you got an amazing shot. I love it's little face, and how the nose isn't actually as prominent on it like some other animals.
oh no worries, I'm just happy to hear back! XD and oh my yes, that monkey definitely has a very... special and unique type of nose.
I've never seen them this color! I've seen the black and white version. Very interesting looking. And his eyes are amazing. Very nice capture.
Eyes!!! Great captured
This really is stunning. ^.^
Well done!
I've been able to get up close to these guys myself, but not been able to get a shot like this.
The eyes are just stunning!

Simulation of broadband ground motion including nonlinear soil effects for a magnitude 6.5 earthquake on the Seattle fault, Seattle, Washington

AbstractThe Seattle fault poses a significant seismic hazard to the city of Seattle, Washington. A hybrid, low-frequency, high-frequency method is used to calculate broadband (0-20 Hz) ground-motion time histories for a M 6.5 earthquake on the Seattle fault. Low frequencies (<1 Hz) are calculated using a deterministic approach and finite difference in a 3D velocity model. High frequencies (>1 Hz) are calculated by a stochastic method that uses a fractal subevent size distribution to give an ??-2 displacement spectrum. Time histories are calculated for a grid of stations and then corrected for the local site response using a classification scheme based on the surficial geology. Average shear-wave velocity profiles are developed for six surficial geologic units: artificial fill, modified land, Esperance sand, Lawton clay, till, and Tertiary sandstone. These profiles together with other soil parameters are used to compare linear, equivalent-linear, and nonlinear predictions of ground motion in the frequency band 0-15 Hz. Linear site-response corrections are found to yield unreasonably large ground motions. Equivalent-linear and nonlinear calculations give peak values similar to the 1994 Northridge, California, earthquake and those predicted by regression relationships. Ground-motion variance is estimated for (1) randomization of the velocity profiles, (2) variation in source parameters, and (3) choice of nonlinear model. Within the limits of the models tested, the results are found to be most sensitive to the nonlinear model and soil parameters, notably the over consolidation ratio.

91 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2008 Pinot Noir La Paulée is a blend of selected lots from all of the vineyards sourced by Scott Paul. Medium ruby red, it displays an expressive nose of smoke, spice box, cherry blossom, raspberry, and cranberry. This leads to an elegant, medium-bodied wine with outstanding concentration, savory, spicy flavors, good volume, and a lengthy finish. It can be approached now but will benefit from 2-3 years of additional bottle age." (10/10) 91 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Vivid ruby. Fresh red berries and flowers on the nose, with sexy Asian spice and mineral notes adding vivacity. Lively and precise in the mouth, offering sweet strawberry and raspberry flavors and strong spicy cut. Fine-grained tannins come up on the finish, which is impressively focused, juicy and long. This is delicious now but balanced to age." (Jul/Aug 10)

Intensive Agriculture and Socio-Political Development in the Lake Patzcuaro Basin, Michoacan, Mexico
Fisher, Christopher T., Pollard, Helen P., Frederick, Charles, Antiquity
Intensive agriculture played a pivotal role in the development of archaic states, but there is considerable debate concerning its relationship to population growth, climatic variability, and centralization. One important example is that of the Tarascan State (Lake Patzcuaro Basin, Michoacan, Mexico (Pollard 1997) [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1 OMITTED].
Newly discovered intensive wetland features, in the form of canals and associated agricultural fields, allow the intensification question to be assessed in this region for the first time. This new research examines the relationship between intensification, demography, environmental variability, and the emergence of social complexity for the pre-Tarascan period. Relict agricultural features are an amalgam of socio-economic process and landscape manipulation requiring multiple lines of archaeological and environmental data to decode. This synthesis is best accomplished through a landscape approach.
Intensification in perspective
Two types of intensification approaches can be defined based on core assumptions [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 2 OMITTED]. The first, the top down and the bottom up type of approach (Chambers 1980; Erickson 1993a; Scarborough 1991) debates who, and with what resources, was able to construct water-management features. The more traditional and most often applied top down approach, following the hydraulic hypothesis (Wittfogel 1957), suggests that the complexity, large scale, technological sophistication and massive labour requirements of intensive agriculture require co-ordination, planning, management and possibly coercion, most often by the state (Kolata 1996; Matheny & Garr 1983; Sanders et al. 1979; Stanish 1994). In this view, only state-level societies are capable of absorbing the presupposed high labour, capital, and administrative costs.
Recent archaeological research has come to re-examine the top down approach. Excavation and survey within the Lake Titicaca Basin (Erickson 1993a; Graffam 1992) has identified extensive tracts of raised fields and associated settlements that can be securely dated to periods that precede and post-date regional integration by the Tiwanaku state. These systems also initially evolved and persisted in the absence of population or other stresses. Raised-field and canal systems have also been located prior to regional integration contexts in other areas of Latin America (Doolittle 1990; Sluyter 1994). This has led Erickson to argue that raised-field farming was organized locally, producing, over time, a totally human-made landscape (1993a: 371).
The second type of approach is composed of explanations emphasizing differing evolutionary mechanisms for the adoption of agricultural intensification. Either a prime mover (push) or political economy (pull) based approach provides the impetus for intensification. The push-based mode assumes that prehistoric farmers participate in a labour-intensive mode of subsistence as a response to some sort of resource imbalance, most often demographic. Thus, in this prime-mover-orientated approach, population pressure (Boserup 1981; Sanders et al. 1979; Turner et al. 1977), becomes an evolutionary mechanism that is seen as a prerequisite for intensive agricultural systems. In recent literature the systemic relationship between population growth and agricultural intensification first proposed by Boserup (1965) has been critically examined. As a result there is a growing body of archaeological literature that suggests the lack of a causal link between demographic stress and agricultural intensification (e.g. Blanton et al. 1982; Brumfiel 1976; Feinman et al. 1985; Kowalewski et al. 1989).
Political-economy-based explanations assert that intensification is a response to socio-economic systems promoting predictable surplus to facilitate kin-based exchange, risk management, craft specialization and lineage-based demands for tribute (Brumfiel & Earle 1987; D'Altroy & Earle 1985; Price & Feinman 1995; Wright 1984). …

Sergio Perez has finally been officially confirmed as Nico Hulkenberg's new teammate at Force India.
Perez began talking to the team soon after he was dropped by McLaren, whose boss Martin Whitmarsh also tried to persuade the Silverstone outfit to take his departing driver.
His longtime mentor, Carlos Slim, personally intervened to help Perez land the drive.
"He brings a healthy mix of youth and experience, and I've been very impressed with his recent performances," said billionaire Force India owner Vijay Mallya. "He already has several podium finishes to his name, and being chosen by McLaren last year was a clear indication that he is a driver to watch for the future.
"We also recognize Sergio's incredible talent, and we are proud to have him in our team. He clearly has great speed and plenty of fire in his belly. Our job is to make sure he settles in quickly by creating the right atmosphere so that he can realize his potential. By pairing Sergio alongside Nico, we enter the new season with an extremely competitive lineup, which will go toward helping us achieve our goals for the new season."
"Coming here was always my first choice, and I'm really happy everything has now been confirmed," said Perez. "I want to say 'thank you' to Vijay and the whole team for giving me the opportunity. This is a young team with a lot of determination, and they've produced competitive cars for the last few years. It's all changed for next season with the new regulations, but I already have a good feeling about 2014. My plan now is to visit the factory and get to know everyone in the team."
The news means that Adrian Sutil, who had an ongoing contract with Force India, is currently without a drive. However, he remains close to Sauber, with which he has been in close contact for some weeks.
Meanwhile, Paul Di Resta has known for some months that he has been out of a job.Force India, Formula 1, Nico Hulkenberg, Sergio Perez
