I like this character!
man i really love this pic dont no if i ever commented on it but the wings and the whip its intense and beautiful
purrtty cool looks a lot like ahri from league of legends
Beautiful work!
Nice work!!!!
Keep going!! you art is still very fantastic my dear )))
wow!! very great job *_*
wow! I love the anatomy and painting control you have on all your works! they always look amazing and full of movement!
Kakkoii desu!!
Woah coooooool
When I first saw this card in the game, I remember thinking how great the art was and how I wouldn't upgrade the card even if I got the chance later because that would change the art work completely. I love how the subject conveys such beauty, elegance, and strength, perfectly capturing what an angel would be like. Great job, and thanks for putting it up here to share with everyone! ^.^
Ahh thank you so much! Yeah, sadly because of the hurricane I wasn't able to draw the upgraded version of this card so I have no idea how it looks like up to this day.
If you do a search for "Sandala" here on deviantArt you can see the concept art that was submitted by the artist who did the upgraded version. The artist did a really nice job, but for whatever reason they changed the face drastically for the in-game version so that she doesn't look like the original version at all and extended the shadows to her face giving her an oddly... bloated look.
I'm sorry to hear about the hurricane. I hope you and everyone you know stayed safe.
I'm sorry to hear about the hurricane. I hope you and everyone you know stayed safe.
very cute I love
Wow the colors are outstanding! The wings are so bright, the way you brushed them adds to the flow of the whole thing it's gorgeous!

Napoleon man leaves $3 million to Archbold community college for student scholarships
ARCHBOLD - A Napoleon man known for saying, "It's not what you make; it is what you do with what you make," left what he made to Northwest State Community College.
College officials announced Wednesday that Francis O. Fackler had bequeathed more than $2.9 million to the college for scholarships for students who are from Henry County.
The donation was the largest received in the 40-year history of the college, which primarily serves students from Defiance, Fulton, Henry, Paulding, and Williams counties.
Mr. Fackler, a carpenter and real estate entrepreneur, died last May at the age of 94. He and his late wife, Charlien Elvin, had no children.41.5223 -84.30632

Product Description
To aid this endeavor, Patterson's Revelation in the New American Commentary series tackles the text by unpacking it pericope-by-pericope. Each pericope is easily accessible, makes arguments based on the Greek text, but presents those discussions using only the English. While the original languages are always useful, they are not necessary to access this commentary.
While primary attention is given to the text, Paige does discuss scholarly matters. These, typically, are not of the technical exegetical type but rather deal in the theology derived from the text of Revelation. Thus, Paige's work makes an exegetical argument but does so to posit a theological stance about the book while leaving room for critical interaction from the reader. Paige's work also interacts critically with historic interpreters, drawing on them were useful while discerningly avoiding overly eccentric readings of Revelation. Therefore, Patterson's work is a mid-level, non-technical commentary accessible to teaching laity, ministers, and members with some background in formal biblical studies.
Features of the NAC series:
- For the minister or Bible student who wants to understand and expound the Scriptures
- Commentary based on the New International Version (NIV) of Scripture
- The NIV text printed in the body of the commentary
- Sound scholarly methodology that reflects capable research in the original languages
- Interpretation that emphasizes the theological unity of each book and of Scripture as a whole
- Readable and applicable exposition

Publisher's Description
- commentary based on the New International Version (NIV) of Scripture;
- the NIV text printed in the body of the commentary;
- sound scholarly methodology that reflects capable research in the original languages;
- interpretation that emphasizes the theological unity of each book and of Scripture as a whole;

In the Introduction to his commentary on Revelation, L. Paige Patterson observes the widespread neglect of this closing book of the New Testament.
"Aside from a few journal articles and fewer monographs, few homiletical adventurers have evidenced the moxie to enter the eschatological lists and take on this book in the pulpit. This remains the case even though curi- osity abounds in many congregations where parishioners fervently wish that their respective pastors would explain the book to them. Among those who embark on this adventure, most sail no further than the message to the seven churches . . . thus missing the grandeur of the promises that proliferate in chapters 4-22."
Patterson writes with the strong conviction that preachers and professors can grasp Revelation and expound it fruitfully. To that end he has writ- ten this commentary, and in doing so, interacts with a wide array of interpreters of Revelation across the centuries. The reader who follows Pattersons interpretive decisions will experience a virtual hermeneutical workshop but far more than that. He will see more clearly than ever the glory and grandeur of Jesus Christ.

Dear friends
My name is Artem Vorotnikov, and as some of you know, I have recently joined the RoR development team. Today I am going to talk about the RoR website goodies we have prepared for you this summer.
About current website
rigsofrods.com is a dynamic website that uses a content management system and several other software packages.
The primary part is of course vBulletin forum CMS. MediaWiki with numerous extensions is used for /wiki subpart. Both of these components share PHP installation and MySQL database, such setup provides account integration between the former two.
In this blog post I am going to describe how CMS work and why we should move away from it.
Dynamic past
Site authors have always wanted to author and publish content without much hassle.
It did its job then, and does today. Adding and modifying content is very easy for both owner and end user. Deployment does not require significant expertise. Simply put, you don't have to fire up an IDE or text editor because all configuration and authoring is done online with neat interface. This is how CMS became dominant in the wild.
Yet they have their own pitfalls. Sometimes nightmares. Read on.
The vast majority of content management systems (incl. vBulletin) require a database engine, usually MySQL for data storage. It is faster than plain text files and allows for more end user interactivity.
The latter part comes with a very hefty price. Ever heard of 'SQL injection'? Say, access a specially crafted link and you make the database engine execute the wrong code. It is one of the top online vulnerabilities today. And do you know how this became known to the public? You guessed it. Wordpress. Drupal. In short, content management systems.
There're other exploits: Joomla. vBulletin. CMS are just too bloated, complex to maintain and therefore buggy.
Speaking of our software, right now I am aware of several 0-day vulnerabilities that could break website database instantly. Pop. Nothing. Error 403 or 404 instead of years of RoR history.
As I have already mentioned dynamic websites require a database engine, usually MySQL. Not every hosting service can provide you with that.
And even if they do, you need to do maintenance work regularly, update. This consumes our precious time we could spend on improving the game itself.
Clothes make the man. If you manage to catch the eye of a potential user, you have the following, if you don't then my condolences.
To do that on the Internet one must have a modern, nice looking, professionally done and informative home page. It is that very thing tells the players basic 80% about the game. And unless it stands out from the crowd of thousands of such 'home's your average web surfer will skip it to never return.
What do we have today? A wall of text that really looks like a long forum post. A huge paragraph. Then another one. And another. Then a video. Afterwards a bullet list. And... that's it.
Nothing strange as the whole website is based on forum software. It may be robust and flexible as a forum, true, but really, really not as anything else. Not as home, not even as a blog.
Home page is almost always custom made, hand-crafted by web designer. This is exactly what CMS are not able to provide.
This is unacceptable so it's time to move on. Here's what awaits you.
Everything old is new again
Back in 1990s all websites were coded by hand. Yes, fire up the text editor and type, type, type.
Handcrafted website creation has never been easier than today, in 2015. Now we have rapid templating, light markup and website generators. There is no need for huge databases for most of the tasks anymore.
So, behold, the new home page.
100% static
The look of 2015
This home page actually stands out and catches the visitor's eye.
New Wiki
And yes, we have a new wiki (called docs).
No more MediaWiki, no more databases. Pages are stored in plain text and may be easily edited in Notepad (although I recommend Atom, hehe ;-) ).
Docs use AsciiDoc for markup now. The preferred image formats are PNG and WebP (it's open and has better compression than JPEG and PNG).
First-class localization
Да. Ja. Oui.
The new website is multilingual. Just try visiting the root of the site. If your browser language matches one of available locales, you'll be redirected. Otherwise you can choose the language yourself.
Most importantly, all content is kept in sync. All translations are directly based on English source articles. Even if some parts are added, foreign visitors will still be able to read them untranslated.
Feel free to help with translation, you can find instructions here.
The new documentation is also fully localizable, just see the Russian example here.
Streamlined workflow
The new website is developed with git software and hosted on GitHub. This corresponds with Rigs of Rods main development which also occurs on GitHub. Therefore if you wish to report bugs or fix stuff yourself - you can do it the same way as for RoR itself.
Free and open source
In line with the project spirit the new website code is open source under the GNU Affero General Public License v3. You can always tinker with it, see how it works for yourself.
About the forums
vBulletin forum has served us well so far and there're no immediate deprecation plans. It will eventually be moved to forum.rigsofrods.com, however.
All hands on deck
What you see is a developer preview right now. We need all the help we can get for porting content, weeding out bugs. Please visit our GitHub repository page for more information
Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy our work.

Working on some good stuff for RoR community. Big surprise and new devblog by this weekend.
Updated 07-08-15 at 11:39 AM by skybon
Hello all RoR fans.
Late as usual, I bring you an overview of development done during May.
The project
I'm happy to state RoR has a healthy pulse. The GitHub repository is greatly helping our development. The issue tracker is receiving a lot of submissions from users testing our latest builds, and the dev team does their best to attend to and resolve them. We're also receiving stars and attracting new contributors.
Hiradur worked hard to set up Travis CI for RoR. It's a continuous integration service - it builts RoR regularily under linux to see if build passes OK. This is very important for us since we maintain both windows and linux compatibility, and from time to time, some windows contributions (ahem, mine...) break linux build.
Max98 had a great idea to set up Gitter discussion board for RoR. Gitter is a browser based chat service directly linked to our repository. Great place for developers to meet each other and other community members to talk about technical aspects of RoR. And, it's already attracting new people who may contribute important knowledge to the project.
The 0.4.5-NextStable
It's still in development, there's still no release date and the purpose has slowly and silently changed. Original plan was to only make RoR stable, content-compatible and crash-free while ignoring performance and not adding any features. However, volunteer-based development progresses slowly and players are equally concerned about performance, stability, graphics, performance and gameplay experience as a whole. And yes, I know I wrote "performance" twice. So, the new motto of 0.4.5 is "All kinds of improvements, as long as nothing gets broken and it runs at least a little faster than before".
The fix of the month are definitely FlexBodies. Somewhere between 0.39 and 0.4.0x they became malformed, as reported in this issue. In test build 3, they are corrrect again and faster than before, thanks to Max98.
Another improvement is speed of vehicle loading. During testing, I got angry about vehicles taking too long to load, so I incorporated a tiny profiler into the codebase and started investigating. The major bottleneck were verbose logs I added to the spawn process. I added config options for them and made them disabled by default. Next, it got interesting - the bottleneck were FlexBodies, but curiously, not their generation, but finding LOD files in OGRE's resource system (which is super slow and targeted for elimination by OGRE team, btw). Since nobody seems to use the feature, I added config option to disable it by default. Next bottleneck was flexbody generation itself and I found a way to bypass even that - I added a cache support to flexbodies, so they are only generated once and saved as binary file to cache, subseqent spawns load it from the cache. Right now the feature is disabled by default, see file /resources/skeleton/conf/README.txt for instructions how to enable and test it. I have to say I'm quite proud of this improvement and I'm planning to use it in more areas of RoR to speed up loading even further.
The future
I've done enough dreaming in the last devblog post. Now I'm back to the boring but necessary fixing of vehicle/map compatibility. Current work: fixed objects on maps. But I can't resist the urge to slowly enhance the rig editor as well. Current work: flares. And finally, I also began attending to performance issues. Current work: adding a performance graph window to help pinpoint the bottleneck on various player hardware. This makes the development somewhat fuzzy and unfocused, but it's the best answer to the requests from the community.
Have fun playing RoR!
Hello RoR fans.
Another 2 months have passed and 1 new progress report is here. It turned out everyone (including me) was so busy in march that barely any development happenned and I had no time to write a blog post (plus, nothing new to write about, really ). Fortunately, April has been much more relaxed and I've been able to do some very important progress. All of my latest changes are incorportated in 0.4.5.0-dev test build 2 - I encourage everyone to test!
Vehicle compatibility status
... has improved! I tested with many more vehicles and I re-thought my approach to parser design. For one thing, I began loosening the very strict syntax checking which was causing vehicles to spawn crippled and littered the "spawner report" window with loads of warning messages. Very common mistakes, such as extra commas at the ends of lines, trailing comments (yes, they weren't legit), invalid flags and bad lettercase of keywords is now tolerated, often silently without warning message. Further, I began adding "fallback" method of parsing for lines which don't make it through the syntax check - in this case, parser will emit a warning and process the line by means of RoR v0.38/v0.4.0.7 - unsafe, but mostly workable. So far, "nodes/nodes2" were augumented this way.
But most importantly, I changed my philosophical approach to processing the .truck format. From the very start, I knew that the parsing process used in 0.4.0.7 has to change, both to clear the way for further development of RoR's physics (the old parser was seriously blocking it), and also because I wanted to equip RoR with a built-in rig editor. However, at the same time, I needed to maintain compatibility with existing content. Until now, I've been trying to write a parser which would satisfy both requirements. It didn't really work, most vehicles got broken and I wasted a lot of words rambling about how bad was both the code and the truckfiles. But about a week ago, I finally concluded the parser I wrote suits my needs, but it will never fit together with existing content. After realizing this, it was obvious what I have to do: Declare a new fileformatversion for future content, and write an importer component for content with lower fileformatversion. For the new fileformatversion number, I chose "450", to resemble version number 0.4.5.0 and also to signify it works differently than older numbers (1,2,3) - those were just informational and the parser ignored them. My fileformatversion actually makes a big difference.
Nonetheless, I began bumping into prevailing v0.38 -> v0.4.0.7 incompatibilities, such as this one. Those will be harder to tackle because the code of version 0.38 is 4 years old and uses outdated dependencies, so it'll take some time to create a working dev version for testing and investigation. I'll try my best, but no promises at this point.
Again, I encourage everyone to download a test build and check his favourite vehicles. They should work a lot better now.
Rig editor status
The editor is still not usable, but it's progressing steadily. This time, I added support for wheels (meshwheels2 + flexbodywheels so far). There's a selection menu in the top menubar and panels which can alter wheel parameters. Changes to wheel size or number of rays are displayed immediately and you can select + edit multiple wheels at the same time. There's also an option to create a new rig from scratch and the "engine" panel was equipped with [add engine]/[remove engine] buttons which were missing before. The N/B editing controls are still not complete (you can delete beams, but you can't add them yet), but work is being done. Further, the wheel-subsystem components (selection menu, highlight boxes, panels) were created as generic, so there will soon be similarly implemented support for flares, props, wings and more features.
Anyway, at this point, some of you may legitimately question my efforts to create the rig editor. Although it's a nice thing to have, it doesn't seem to be really needed, modders have been happily creating content using existing methods and without any apparent issues, as this forum thread shows. So, do I have good reason to burn a lot of time working on the editor when there are much more serious flaws to tackle? I believe so, and you deserve to know it.
Physics of the future
Currently, RoR can handle roughly 500 nodes + 3000 beams per vehicle. With so few elements, it's reasonable to do this work manually. However, this system leaves a lot to be desired - the soft body physics model (with weighted nodes acting like joints + weightless beams + stability requirements) is very hard and unnatural for a human to work with. Also, the RoR handles only enough N/B to create a grid-like chassis where 3d models can be attached (props, flexbodies).
Now imagine I created a completely new physics engine which could handle roughly 10x more N/B than the current engine (think 5,000 nodes and 30,000 beams). These numbers must sound insane to RoR veterans, but I have good technical reasons to believe such performance can be archieved. Further details aside, you'll agree with me that creating so detailed N/B by hand (or in Blender, or Editorizer, or any other similar method) will become humanly impossible. Further, such performance increase will deserve new approach to N/B architecture - instead of modelling a vehicle as a whole, it will be possible to model individual components (rigid frame, soft interior, heavy rigid engine, outer chassis components, possibly a rollcage) and then join them to create more reallistic deformation behavior.
There is only one way to deal with such a modding challenge - using a CAD-like editor where the vehicle can be modelled the way technical engineers do - by defining real-world shapes of components, materials and means of joining components together. The editor would then compute the best fit N/B to simulate such vehicle. And THAT is precisely where I'm headed in my rig-editor efforts. Currently, the editor has only partial support for hand-editing the N/B, but that's just something to start with and an utility for current modders + current content. But I'm really looking into the future, and the future is CAD.
Naturally, this is only an enthusiast project done in people's free time. It may not succeed. But I'll incorporate enough scripting support to spread the implementation complexity among members of the comunnity, so everything will be archievable. I'm optimistic.
Until then, please bear with me.

Hi all RoR fans!
Another month has passed and it's time for me to write a progress report. In fact, the report is already slightly overdue because I've been really busy lately and I could only hardly follow RoR development. However, there are several other active developers and a growing number of testers and bug-reporters, so the project is steadily improving.
To shortly iterate what's been hapenning:
I've been working on rig editor, specifically adding panels to edit properties of nodes/beams and other beam types. Currently I'm adding support for all types of wheels, including the possibility to add/edit/delete wheels. I've also started several experimental dev branches oriented on performance and more maintainable code.Hiradur continues to improve linux compatibility and maintains the multitude of RoR dependencies.Aperion has returned to what he's good at - improving the very core of the gameplay, the physics simulation. So far, he's only been doing careful cleanups not to disrupt the upcoming stable release, but there seems to be a lot to look forward to.Max98 is simultaneously improving many player-oriented aspects of the game, ranging from UI and HUD through enviromental improvements like skies and water to signifficant gameplay fixes.
Status of planned 0.4.5 release
Current development effort aims towards a stable release with version number 0.4.5. This long-awaited release will fix many long-standing bugs, bring UI improvements and generally enhance player experience.
The major development problem regarding this project is vehicle support. In the past, version 0.4.0.x broke compatibility with older vehicles and forced modders to double-release their new content. Then I came and broke things further, despite I claimed to improve it. Up to now I wasn't able to completely restore all broken features, although situation is improving. Recently, RoR got a new window which displays all errors and warnings about about loaded vehicles. Thanks to Max98, the messages are also colored. This window will inform players what's wrong with their favorite vehicles and also help modders to avoid risky or unsupported practices.
I'd like to explain the cause of the current situation. When I analyzed RoR's vehicle loading code back in 2013, I discovered that the problem is in the design of the format - modders can define various parts of the vehicle (beams, nodes, wheels, cinecam, rotators, triggers, more wheels, more beams) in an arbitrary order, possibly interleaving things, and the parser will process all of it in the exact order. A software like this is a programmer's inferno because it's impossible to tell how exactly things are going depend on each other, how they will interact and what side effects may arise. Since RoR's vehicles were quite feature rich and features were built on top of one another, the amout of possible scenarios was astronomic. To name a few cases, I've seen vehicles defining some nodes, then defining wheels (which generate nodes) and then define more nodes. But hey, nodes have numbers, and if you auto-generate nodes in between, are you sure your numbering will continue correctly? Further, some modders attached beams to nodes before those were defined, or to nodes which were auto-generated by different sections (or possibly never generated). How is a programmer supposed to check if the connection is correct? To make things worse, there's the half-baked 'named nodes' feature (nodes2). More than half of truckfile sections don't support them, but at the same time, named nodes can still be reffered to with numbers, so modders did it that way. As a result, a programmer sees code trying to look for node 123 and he has no idea where that node will come from. Impossible to work with. Despite all these alarming facts, RoR vehicles have been working happily... until original authors left, along with the knowledge of all quirks and obscure mechanisms of the vehicle support. Un-involved coder didn't stand a chance. That's why 0.4.0x became incompatible with 0.38, and only problems followed.
My solution to this issue was developing new vehicle parser: one that would read all data first and only then process them, in a given order, to avoid all unexpected results. From software design standpoint, this is an only plausible solution. Unfortunately, this approach broke all vehicles which relied on the quirky nature of the old parser. In addition of that, many bugs were introducted in the process, because RoR's vehicle format is very feature-rich and I was a new coder to the project. So far, I've been able to track and fix many of those bugs and also detect and work-around many legacy requirements of older vehicles. I had been hoping to work around everything, however, I've arrived to a point where some vehicles directly conflict with my parser's architecture. And even thoug I'd really love to make everything work, I'm not willing to compromise future development by making compatibility hacks into my code. Some content will just have to go.
In a near future, I'll publish a new test build of NextStable, along with all latest fixes and compatibility enhancements, and I'll begin to sort out supported vs. unsupported content. I'll be in touch with modders, discussing the do's and dont's which 0.4.5 will impose.
Stay tuned.

Thirty years ago today, Mike Parker joined the staff of WBBM-Channel 2. It was an era when the CBS-owned station was No. 1 in the ratings and when "The Ten O'Clock News" was must-viewing in the market. While almost everything else has changed since then, Parker remains a model of straightforward, intelligent reporting.
With all the gloom and doom pervading the news business, it's nice to know Chicago still has room for a few solid, reliable professionals like him. Countless general managers, news directors and anchors have come and gone since he started, but Parker continues to command the respect of his bosses and the admiration of peers.' "He's very special -- a crafty writer with great 'pipes' and a talent for relating to people," said Bruno Cohen, president and general manager of Channel 2. "Chicago is lucky to have him."
At 66, the Rock Island, Ill., native says he still feels right at home here. The only time he ventured out since starting at Channel 2 was in 1986 for what he calls his "brief foray onto New York City's mean streets" as a reporter for ABC-owned WABC-TV. But he quickly came back and stayed for good:
"It may seem strange, but I still love doing the work I do," he said. "I learn new things every day, meet fascinating people, get to work with the language, and make little 'movies.' What a life. I'm also kept young and challenged by my family -- my dear wife, Marian, and my amazing 16-year-old daughter, Claire."
The last time I profiled Parker a decade ago, he acknowledged a lingering desire to anchor, which he did creditably for years on weekends before shifting to reporting full-time. While those ambitions may have waned, he's no less enthusiastic about working today and, if fate allows, far into the future:
"I'm not done with the news business -- not by a long shot. CBS 2 is enjoying some new viewer attention, and I'm delighted to be reporting nightly for our 10 p.m. broadcast. At 66, I feel like I'm at the top of my game, that I've finally figured this stuff out. I think I'll hang out with you guys for a while."

Feb 22 2013, 10:19am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr
Anna Kendrick will star in musical film 'The Last Five Years'.
The 'Up in the Air' actress - who first showed off her vocal chops in 2012's 'Pitch Perfect' - will once again play a songbird in the film, which is based on an off-Broadway stage musical of the same name, reports Deadline.
The musical explores the five year relationship between a struggling actress, Cathy - played by Anna - and her rising novelist boyfriend, Jamie, who will be played by 'Smash' actor Jeremy Jordan.
'Beautiful Creatures' director Richard LaGravenese wrote the script for the film and will both direct and produce. Lauren Versel, Kurt Deutsch, and Janet Brenner are also listed as producers for Lucky Monkey Pictures.
The original stage version was written by Jeremy Jordan Brown and has been staged in several countries, including the United States, Germany and Britain, since it first launched in 2001.
Broadway star Jeremy earned a Tony Award nomination for his role in 'Newsies' last year, while Anna won praise for her role as Beca Mitchell in 'Pitch Perfect', about a struggling all-girl singing group.

Liocarcinus pusillus
Liocarcinus pusillus, common name dwarf swimming crab,[3] is a species of crab in the Portunidae family.[4]
Liocarcinus pusillus is a small, colourful species with a broad, suboval carapace having a maximum width of 25 mm (1.0 in). However, most specimens are usually less than 20 mm (0.8 in).[4][5][5] This species occurs in a wide range of colours.[4] The front has three sharpened tusks, directed forward.[3]
Liocarcinus pusillus occurs from North-West Africa, to Lofoten, Norway[4][5] including the North Sea.[3] It is found around the shores of: England, in such places as Northumberland, Yorkshire, The Wash, Thames, the eastern English Channel, Isle of Wight, Portland, Plymouth, the Scilly Isles, the Bristol Channel, Liverpool Bay; Scotland - Shetland, Orkney, Firth of Forth, Argyll and Clyde, The Minch; Ireland, occurring in and around Dublin, Belfast, Mayo, Galway Bay, Fastnet, Cork; and elsewhere in the British Isles including the Channel Islands, Anglesey and the Isle of Man.[6]
Specimens range intertidally up to 100 metres,[5] dwelling on sandy to stony bottoms,[4][6] but prefer gravel or stony substrates.

When Georgia's legislature drew up a list of places where sex offenders were not allowed to live, the majority leader of the state House said he hoped the restrictions would be so intolerable that sex offenders "will want to move to another state." By overturning those restrictions, the Georgia Supreme Court has created an opportunity to reconsider the mindless harsher-is-better approach they exemplified, which is neither fair as a matter of criminal justice nor sensible in terms of public safety.
Despite all the talk of protecting children, registered sex offenders are not synonymous with predatory criminals, let alone child molesters. In Georgia, they include many people who were guilty of nothing beyond consensual sex as teenagers.
Even if they have never demonstrated a propensity to abuse children, the 10,000 or so sex offenders covered by the registration requirement have to regularly report their whereabouts to local law enforcement officials, who in turn make the information publicly available. Failure to report triggers a prison sentence of at least 10 years.
Yet, until the Georgia Supreme Court intervened, sex offenders also had a strong incentive not to register since doing so enabled the government to enforce residence restrictions that made nearly all locations in urban areas off limits. The penalty for violating those restrictions was the same as the penalty for failing to register.
Georgia's law barred sex offenders from living within 1,000 feet of a school, church, daycare center or any other location where children might congregate, including parks, playgrounds, swimming pools, skating rinks and school bus stops. Even if a sex offender managed to find a legal place to live, he could be ordered to move again and again, depending on how his neighbors decided to use their property.
Anthony Mann, the registered sex offender who successfully challenged Georgia's law, bought a house in Clayton County with his wife in 2003. At the time, it was a legal location. But then a daycare center opened nearby, rendering it illegal.
"Under the terms of that statute," the state Supreme Court noted, "there is no place in Georgia where a registered sex offender can live without being continually at risk of being ejected." Concluding that the law "precludes appellant from having any reasonable investment-backed expectation in any property purchased as his private residence," the court unanimously ruled that it violated the Fifth Amendment's ban on uncompensated takings of private property.

The Washington Post's Howard Schneider asks, "In Europe's grand battle over growth vs. austerity, has Ireland proved that austerity works?" If so, keeping unemployment more than 10 percentage points above pre-recession levels is an odd sort of "working."
Washington Post's Austerity Backer, Still Trying
The Cure for French Malaise: Cut Worker Pay
With an unemployment rate at just over 26 percent and regular street protests against government austerity policies, it's hard to imagine anyone holding up Spain as a model. But Howard Schneider, writing in the Washington Post, does just that–warning France that it had better shape up and be more like Spain:
Washington Post Softens Israel's Gaza Blockade
The Israeli government's near-total blockade of the Gaza Strip has been roundly criticized by international human rights groups as a harsh form of collective punishment. Some U.N. investigations have labeled it much worse–that Israel's actions amount to crimes against humanity. Back in medialand, the Washington Post's Howard Schneider has a story today (12/15/09) comparing life in Gaza with the West Bank. While the latter is still under Israeli occupation, its economy is (predictably enough) much stronger, and its standard of living relatively higher. This is a somewhat familiar theme in the press–noting that while Hamas' rule in Gaza is a […]
Israeli Settlement Isn't, Says Washington Post
The big news out of the Middle East yesterday was the Israeli government's decision to approve an expansion of the Gilo settlement near Jerusalem. The White House's muddled position on settlement expansion has been a key part of Israel-Palestine negotiations. Many headlines framed the news as you'd expect (New York Times: "Plan to Expand Jerusalem Settlement Angers U.S.", for example). The Washington Post, though, went with this headline today: "Housing Plan for Jerusalem Neighborhood Spurs Criticism." The article by Howard Schneider refers to a "disputed neighborhood of Jerusalem," the "Jewish neighborhood of Gilo," a place "annexed to the city in […]

Good for adoption events
posted 7 years ago
These harnesses are great for showing cats at adoption events outside the shelter. It allows potential adopters to interact with the cat outside of a cage, and prevents the cat from running off. Some cats do not do well in them though, so they are only useful in certain situations.
Pros: Helps promote adoptions at events
Cons: Some cats do not like

Did you?
Totally safe
posted 7 years ago
I really like this harness because mycats can't slip out of it. However, I dont take them far...I basically use it to take them out on the front porch, or to sit in the grass in the yard on a warm sunny day while I read a book or something. They really dont go walking around with it. But my cats do love rolling around in the grass, and so far I havent had any problems with it.
Pros: trust it
Cons: none

I Won't Give Up Lyrics
I Won't Give Up Song Lyrics
When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find
'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I've got, and what I'm not
And who I am
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
Still looking up.
I won't give up on us (no I'm not giving up)
God knows I'm tough enough (I am tough, I am loved)
We've got a lot to learn (we're alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

A little bit slow on service but I really enjoy the teriyaki chicken. I eat here almost everytime I visit the area.
My boss and I had lunch there today and we were both very much impressed. The portion sizes were huge and the meat was very tender. We were slightly taken back at first with the prices. However with the portion sizes and quality of the food we can no longer complain about the price. I will for sure eat here...
Came here for lunch and ordered the aloha chicken stirfry. Tender, juicy meat piled on perfectly cooked veggies and rice. Generous portions, inexpensive, and great taste. What more could you want?
Tiki never fails to disappoint in the quality of their food. My only complaint is after summer is over (no more outside seating), there is pretty limited seating.
I've never had an issue here, EVER. Our meal is always right, the service is always good and I have never seen a harder working , nicer family. We eat here all the time , it is one of our favorite places and best of all , their stuff is made in house! For us that means gluten free sauce...
This is a good place to eat. Went to lunch with my daughter & it is very good. It is a little slow so go if in a hurry. But well worth it
I enjoy the food, the people working are friendly but slow when it comes to orders. They mess up orders once in a while but who doesnt make mistakes! Would recommend this place for something tasty and different from fast food or take out! Very happy with prices for what you get!
There was only one vegetarian option, a teriyaki tofu rice bowl, but it was very tasty. I ordered take out, and it took a little longer than expected. Atmosphere was very nice and clean.
I love this place. The salads are fresh and dressings and homemade. This is not McDonald's people. It takes time to cook your food. I don't mind if I have to wait its worth it.
So nice to have this here in Walla Walla! Very very good food and great portions! I try to go as often as I can! Worth checking out!

Article: Intravenous AICAR During Hyperinsulinemia Induces Systemic Hemodynamic Changes but Has No Local Metabolic Effect[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: AMPK activation may stimulate glucose uptake in skeletal muscle, but the results in humans have so far been inconclusive. The authors investigated whether infusion of the AMPK activator, 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-riboside (AICAR), increased whole-body glucose infusion rate (GIR) and forearm skeletal muscle glucose uptake (FGU) during hyperin-sulinemia in vivo in healthy humans. Ten participants (paired data: n = 8) underwent 2 euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamps (60 mU·m(-2)·min(-1), 120 minutes) with concomitant AICAR (67 mg·kg(-1)) or placebo (saline) administration over the last 60 minutes. The authors also measured forearm blood flow (FBF; plethysmography), heart rate, blood pressure, and AICAR and AICA-ribotide (ZMP) concentrations in plasma and erythrocytes. FGU and GIR (T = 95-120 min) did not differ between insulin + AICAR and insulin + placebo. Compared with insulin + placebo, insulin + AICAR raised heart rate more profoundly (T = 60-120 minutes: from 58 ± 3 to 70 ± 3 vs 60 ± 4 to 63 ± 4 bpm for placebo; P < .05 between treatments) and lowered blood pressure significantly. AICAR plasma concentrations increased significantly during AICAR infusion; AICAR was rapidly taken up by erythrocytes and phosphorylated to ZMP. In conclusion, AICAR does not seem to have a direct effect on systemic or local glucose uptake in humans. AICAR increases heart rate and decreases blood pressure, most likely by systemic vasodilation.
Article: Intra-arterial AICA-riboside administration induces NO-dependent vasodilation in vivo in human skeletal muscle[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In animal models, administration of the adenosine analog AICA-riboside has shown beneficial effects on ischemia-reperfusion injury and glucose homeostasis. The vascular and/or metabolic effects of AICA-riboside administration in humans remain to be established. AICA-riboside was infused intra-arterially in four different dosages up to 8 mg x min(-1) x dl(-1) in 24 healthy subjects. Forearm blood flow (FBF) and glucose uptake and plasma glucose, free fatty acid, and AICA-riboside concentrations were assessed. We also combined AICA-riboside infusion (2 mg x min(-1) x dl(-1)) with the intra-arterial administration of the adenosine receptor antagonist caffeine (90 microg x min(-1) x dl(-1); n = 6) and with the endothelial NO synthase inhibitor l-NMMA (0.4 mg x min(-1) x dl(-1); n = 6). Additional in vitro experiments were performed to explain our in vivo effects of AICA-riboside in humans. AICA-riboside increased FBF dose dependently from 2.0 +/- 0.2 to 13.2 +/- 1.9 ml x min(-1) x dl(-1) maximally (P < 0.05 for all dosages). The latter was not reduced by caffeine administration but was significantly attenuated by l-NMMA infusion. Despite high plasma AICA-riboside concentrations, forearm glucose uptake did not change. In vitro experiments showed rapid uptake of AICA-riboside by the equilibrative nucleoside transporter in erythrocytes and subsequent phosphorylation to AICA-ribotide. We conclude that AICA-riboside induces a potent vasodilator response in humans that is mediated by NO. Despite high local plasma concentrations, AICA-riboside does not increase skeletal muscle glucose uptake.
Article: Ischemia and insulin, but not ischemia and contraction, act synergistic in stimulating muscle glucose uptake in vivo in humans
Article: Intravenous AICAR administration reduces hepatic glucose output and inhibits whole body lipolysis in type 2 diabetic patients[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway is intact in type 2 diabetic patients and is seen as a target for diabetes treatment. In this study, we aimed to assess the impact of the AMPK activator 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide riboside (AICAR) on both glucose and fatty acid metabolism in vivo in type 2 diabetic patients. Stable isotope methodology and blood and muscle biopsy sampling were applied to assess blood glucose and fatty acid kinetics following continuous i.v. infusion of AICAR (0.75 mg kg(-1) min(-1)) and/or NaCl (0.9%) in ten male type 2 diabetic patients (age 64 +/- 2 years; BMI 28 +/- 1 kg/m(2)). Plasma glucose rate of appearance (R (a)) was reduced following AICAR administration, while plasma glucose rate of disappearance (R (d)) was similar in the AICAR and control test. Consequently, blood glucose disposal (R (d) expressed as a percentage of R (a)) was increased following AICAR infusion (p < 0.001). Accordingly, a greater decline in plasma glucose concentration was observed following AICAR infusion (p < 0.001). Plasma NEFA R (a) and R (d) were both significantly reduced in response to AICAR infusion, and were accompanied by a significant decline in plasma NEFA concentration. Although AMPK phosphorylation in skeletal muscle was not increased, we observed a significant increase in acetyl-CoA carboxylase phosphorylation (p < 0.001). The i.v. administration of AICAR reduces hepatic glucose output, thereby lowering blood glucose concentrations in vivo in type 2 diabetic patients. Furthermore, AICAR administration stimulates hepatic fatty acid oxidation and/or inhibits whole body lipolysis, thereby reducing plasma NEFA concentration.
Article: Ischaemia and insulin, but not ischaemia and contraction, act synergistically in stimulating muscle glucose uptake in vivo in humans[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ischaemia, like muscle contraction, has been reported to induce skeletal muscle glucose uptake in in vitro models. This stimulating effect appears independent of insulin and is probably mediated by activation of AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase). In the present study, we hypothesized that in vivo in humans ischaemia- and insulin-induced glucose uptake are additive, and that the combined impact of ischaemia and contraction on glucose uptake is of a similar magnitude when each is applied separately. We assessed the effects of ischaemia with and without euglycaemic-hyperinsulinaemia (clamp; protocol 1) and with and without muscle contraction (protocol 2) on muscle FGU (forearm glucose uptake) in healthy subjects. Furthermore, we assessed the impact of ischaemia on FBF (forearm blood flow; plethysmography). In protocol 1, ischaemia increased FGU from 0.6+/-0.1 at baseline to 5.5+/-1.9 micromol x min(-1) x dl(-1), and insulin increased FGU to 1.6+/-0.3 micromol x min(-1) x dl(-1) (P<0.05 for both). The combination of ischaemia+insulin increased FGU to 15.5+/-2.2 micromol x min(-1) x dl(-1) (P<0.05 compared with each stimulus alone). Maximal FBF obtained after ischaemia was similar with and without hyperinsulinaemia. In protocol 2, isometric contraction increased FGU from 0.3+/-0.1 to 2.7+/-0.8 micromol x min(-1) x dl(-1) (P<0.05), but FGU was not significantly different from ischaemia compared with ischaemia+contraction. However, combined ischaemia+contraction resulted in a greater increase in FBF. In summary, ischaemia and insulin independently stimulate skeletal muscle glucose uptake in vivo in humans, whereas ischaemia and contraction do not. The observed differential effects of these stimuli on glucose uptake appear to be unrelated to changes in muscle blood flow.
Article: Acute elevation of plasma non-esterified fatty acids increases pulse wave velocity and induces peripheral vasodilation in humans in vivo[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Plasma NEFA (non-esterified fatty acid) concentrations are elevated in patients with obesity. In the present study we first aimed to provide an integral haemodynamic profile of elevated plasma NEFAs by the simultaneous assessment of blood pressure, pulse wave velocity, FBF (forearm blood flow) and sympathetic nervous system activity during acute elevation of NEFAs. Secondly, we hypothesized that NEFA-induced vasodilation is mediated by adenosine receptor stimulation. In a randomized cross-over trial in healthy subjects, Intralipid was infused for 2 h to elevate plasma NEFAs. Glycerol was administered as the Control infusion. We assessed blood pressure, pulse wave velocity, FBF (using venous occlusion plethysmography) and sympathetic nervous system activity by measurement of noradrenaline and adrenaline. During the last 15 min of Intralipid/Control infusion, the adenosine receptor antagonist caffeine (90 microg x min(-1) x dl(-1)) was administered into the brachial artery of the non-dominant arm. Compared with Control infusion, Intralipid increased pulse wave velocity, SBP (systolic blood pressure) and pulse pressure, as well as FBF (from 1.8+/-0.2 to 2.7+/-0.6 and from 2.3+/-0.2 to 2.7+/-0.6 ml x min(-1) x dl(-1) for Intralipid compared with Control infusion; P<0.05, n=9). Although in a positive control study caffeine attenuated adenosine-induced forearm vasodilation (P<0.01, n=6), caffeine had no effect on Intralipid-induced vasodilation (P=0.5). In conclusion, elevation of plasma NEFA levels increased pulse wave velocity, SBP and pulse pressure. FBF was also increased, either by baroreflex-mediated inhibition of the sympathetic nervous system or by a direct vasodilating effect of NEFAs. As the adenosine receptor antagonist caffeine could not antagonize the vasodilator response, this response is not mediated by adenosine receptor stimulation.

Respond to Review of Maoz Vegetarian
by Miru
Review: Yummy little falafel place right near the St. Michel metro stop and Notre Dame. Paris gets expensive and it's nice to duck in for a cheap & tasty meal. A large falafel sandwich w/fries & drink is only 6,50 Euros. Plus you can load up the sandwiches all you want from the fixins bar. Definitely worth a stop or two.
