Like other comments - I did a little tweaking on the sauce: one time I used red chile flakes and hot sauce in lieu of jalapeno's the other time I used a 7.7 ounce can of chopped jalapeno's (which turned out very spicy!) -but this a great recipe to build on. I served over basmati rice instead of pasta and topped with cilantro. Thanks!
FANTASTIC! I used rice instead of linguini and it was great because it was super spicy for me and my boyfriend who hates spicy foods just used more rice and he loved it too! I also added water chestnuts for some crunch and used plain milk instead of coconut and it worked great.
I wasn't going to rate this since I made quite a few changes - but it was just SO good! For one, we just made the sauce. We didn't have coconut milk - so we pureed regular milk with coconut flakes, strained it, and added some coconut extract (turned out great!). Also, we didn't have any jalapenos - so we just left them out. Then we mixed in some veggies and tossed it with rotini. Served it with my Spicy Orange Shrimp (Stir-Fry Shrimp With Spicy Orange Sauce), and it was a great spicy/creamy combo! Thanks for this recipe, I'll definitely use it again with the shrimp.
To be honest, my BF didn't like this. At first I wasn't sure about it because it was so different than anything I normally eat. I took the leftovers to work and shared them with the office and everyone loved it. Its fairly simple to make, doesn't take alot of time and is different enough to make you think you just ate some exotic cusine. I am not sure if I will make this again but I will definately give the recipe to others.

NEW YORK — Matt Harvey himself would have a hard time topping that.
Carlos Torres did his best imitation of the All-Star ace, carrying a two-hit shutout into the seventh inning for the New York Mets in an 11-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday.
Daniel Murphy had four hits, Eric Young Jr. got three and Anthony Recker launched a two-run homer on his 30th birthday as the Mets busted loose for their most runs since routing Washington 11-0 in the first game of a July 26 doubleheader.
"It started with Torres. He threw the ball so well," Murphy said. "He's done such a great job of any role we've asked him to do."
Torres (3-2) pitched in place of Harvey, diagnosed Monday with a partially torn elbow ligament, and gave the Mets everything they could have hoped for in helping them earn a four-game series split.
"I don't really think of it like that. I think of it as, I'm just another pitcher," Torres said. "There is no replacing Harvey whatsoever."
Three days after making a brief relief appearance, Torres struck out six and walked none over 6X\c innings.
He yielded four hits and left to a warm ovation from the crowd of 22,008 following Darin Ruf's long sacrifice fly.
"It's an audition every time you go out there," Torres said. "I'm just trying to show them that I'm willing to do anything."
It was Torres' fourth start for New York and first since getting hit hard July 28 in Washington. But the other three have been very effective, and he owns a 1.56 ERA in 23 games out of the bullpen.
"I've been very impressed with the way he's gone about his job because of all the dancing around. That's hard," Mets manager Terry Collins said.
New York finished 3-6 on a tumultuous homestand that included news of Harvey's injury and a trade that sent veterans Marlon Byrd and John Buck to Pittsburgh.
Harvey hopes to avoid Tommy John surgery that would probably sideline him for all of next season, but the Mets said no decision will be made until the right-hander is re-examined in a few weeks after the swelling subsides.
Phillies starter Ethan Martin (2-3) struck out a career-high nine, including five in a row.
After getting only two outs against Arizona in his previous outing, the right-hander lasted four innings this time. He was hurt by a leadoff walk in the fourth and Recker's long home run.
"He really seemed to hit a wall in the fourth. For a guy like him, it's late in the season," Phillies interim manager Ryne Sandberg said. "Once he lost his feel, it was time to get him out of there."
Philadelphia lost for the 15th time in 18 road games and fell to 8-6 under Sandberg.
Young made it 10-1 with a bases-loaded triple in a four-run seventh, giving him a career-high three RBIs on one swing of the bat. Andrew Brown hit a solo homer in the eighth and drove in two runs.
New York scored in six straight innings for the first time in one game since an 18-4 win at Arizona on Aug. 24, 2005, according to STATS.
Murphy, refreshed by a rest on Wednesday night, singled in the first and put the Mets ahead with an RBI double in the third. He added a pop-fly double in the fifth and an RBI single with two outs in the sixth.
Justin Turner drew a leadoff walk in the fourth and Recker hit a long drive just inside the left-field foul pole for his sixth home run.
"I wanted to throw the first pitch down and away. Instead I left it right down the middle of the plate," Martin said. "I've felt pretty decent almost every start. It just seems when I hit the 60-pitch mark, I kind of have a little struggle there. I need to get to 60-70 pitches and get past it."
Two innings later, Recker sprang out of his crouch and hustled for a diving grab of Roger Bernadina's bunt in foul territory.
Buck's backup at catcher most of the season, Recker rarely played. He was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas on Aug. 20, four days after the Mets called up catching prospect Travis d'Arnaud, and brought back Tuesday when the team traded Buck.
Murphy's wind-blown double in the fifth dropped in shallow right between stationary second baseman Chase Utley and a charging Ruf, a converted first baseman who also appeared to have trouble with the sun.
Brown followed with an RBI single to make it 4-0.
It was Murphy's 10th career four-hit game, and fourth this season. Bernadina hit a two-run homer in the eighth off Gonzalez Germen.
NOTES: All-Star OF Domonic Brown (right heel) had two hits in his first start for the Phillies since Saturday. ... Pittsburgh sent RHP Vic Black to the Mets as the player to be named in the deal for Byrd and Buck. Drafted 49th overall in 2009, Black pitched in three games for the Pirates this season and had 17 saves with a 2.51 ERA for Triple-A Indianapolis. ... Lucas Duda played 1B for the Mets, his first major league start since June 21. Duda was recalled Saturday from Triple-A Las Vegas. ... New York CF Matt den Dekker went 0 for 5 with a stolen base in his big league debut. Combined with d'Arnaud and Triple-A pitcher Jacob deGrom, the Mets have cornered the market on last names beginning with a lowercase "d."

Belzberg Archiect's Award Winning Concept Eco Hotel Ray
Posted By Lori Zimmer On August 10, 2011 @ 10:20 pm In Architecture | No Comments
The Eames studio [8]occupied the popular Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice Beach from 1943 until 1988. The Hotel Ray was to be a green property featuring 57 private guest rooms, promoting ecotourism in the diversely cultured area of Venice. Fully taking inspiration from the design techniques of Eames, Belzberg fused that style of research with digital design programs, creating a curvaceous space that echoes the dynamics of an Eames chair. The hotel has a pool on one roof, and lush garden [9] on the other.
To achieve the bending and turning exterior, recycled woods [10] were put into the plan, as they are more flexible. Recycled fiber board [11] also has the ability to not only be milled and molded, but also set in a texture that brings life to the exterior. The five storey hotel would be the highest in the Venice area, which was a roadblock for the project, as most buildings in the area reach 30 feet, as opposed to the Ray Hotel's 55 feet.
The spa, hotel [12]and restaurant were to be operated with green technology, developed by the Ambrose Group, who regularly develops green properties.

Game Description: In an interesting mix of side-scrolling action and role-playing games, Valkyrie Profile will have you scouring the ranks of the dead in search of suitable warriors for Odin, the Norse god of gods. But before these dearly departed can be entered into Odin's einherjar, or heavenly army, you've got to train them in the right battle skills.
When looking at RPGs lately, it seems to be getting harder and harder to tell them apart. You know how it goes—a young hero from a quiet town is thrown into circumstances beyond his control. He sets out to right a wrong and gathers together a band of friends to help him on his quest. After facing insumountable odds and legions of evil dragons/sorcerers/corrupt rulers, etc., our courageous hero emerges victorious to right all wrongs done to innocent townsfolk everywhere. Justice prevails, you win. Throw in some cinematic CG cutscenes, a few well-built female characters, a plot twist involving amnesia and some big monsters to summon, and you've got yourself nearly any RPG from recent years. And then there's Valkyrie Profile.
Valkyrie Profile is a highly nontraditional RPG based upon elements taken from tales of Norse mythology. Not content to merely use a distinctive setting to set itself apart from the crowd, Valkyrie Profile wholly redefines what makes an RPG by taking the dramatic storytelling RPGs are known for and combining it with side-scrolling, 2-D platform gameplay. In addition, the battles are extremely fast and combo-based, featuring more player interaction and fun than I've ever witnessed in a game of this type. Rounding it all out is a system of resource management and skill building which is fathoms deep and allows for a wide range of character customization as well. Oh, and did I mention the game is on a time limit? The overall effect is that you're playing something created by people who were thinking far outside the box, with no fear of breaking standards of what an RPG should be. Unfortunately, while such originality is highly appreciated and should be encouraged, simply being different does not guarantee a success. Most of the chances taken in Valkyrie Profile are refreshing to the extreme considering how stale and plagiaristic RPGs have been recently, but it does go astray in a few key areas.
The game centers around Lenneth, a young girl who dies a tragic death only to be chosen by Odin, lord of Asgard and become a Valkyrie in the afterlife. Her mission is to gather warriors who have died in the physical realm and train them to become powerful fighters for the forces of good—the Aesir. The war bringing end of the world, Ragnarok, is coming soon with the outcome and the fate of existence depending on your recruiting efforts.
Since the point of the game is to acquire, train and deliver warriors who are powerful enough to help turn the tide of battle, it's supremely gratifying to finally play a game where "leveling-up" makes solid, logical sense.Your roster of available party members is constantly changing as you send the ones who are ready to Valhalla and take on new warriors in their place. You will receive a wide range of characters with differing skills and attributes, and with each one comes with a short vignette chronicling the events leading up to their death. It's sometimes tough to let a good character ascend to the heavens, but you have to keep the big picture in mind, and the frequent exchanging of characters makes for an interesting play mechanic as your team becomes continually rebalanced.
The game is broken up into chapters, and has a very nonlinear feeling to it. You are able to choose where to go and what to do, and there are a wide range of locations from the beginning. In addition, most bosses do not need to be defeated, and most areas do not need to be cleared in order to progress through the game, although the overall outcome is heavily weighted by your actions.
Before I go any further in this review, it must be said that his game will literally bring tears to the eyes of anyone who loves stylized, 2-D sprite graphics. The well-drawn character sprites used for the town and dungeon areas are absolutely overflowing with fluid animation. Within a few seconds of beginning the game, it's obvious that the people who spent their time in the graphics department weren't only superb artists, but that they were actually pouring heartfelt love into what must have been a painstaking amount of frames. Their work has definitely paid off. The close-up portraits sport a similarly high level of craftsmanship, though done in a more anglicized style than is usually seen in RPGs. After you get over the initial shock of not seeing the traditional blue hair and huge eyes of the usual japanese artwork, it's a nice change of pace.
Another thing to rejoice over was the return of the parallax scrolling technique—which has not seen much use since the 16-bit era. However, in Valkyrie Profile it's back and in full effect. For those of you who may have started playing games in the 32-bit age, parallax is when there are several layers of 2-D background art moving at different speeds giving the illusion of depth. This abandoned technique adds a special life and vibrance which has been sorely missed in the polygon age, and enhances otherwise static areas into things of beauty. No matter how advanced game technology becomes, there will always be a place for the kind of top quality artwork Valkyrie Profile features.
For audiophiles, the orchestral soundtrack matches the nordic theme of the game quite nicely with an assortment of robust Wagner-ish compositions. Some very rousing pieces to be sure. I would have liked a few more tracks for diversity throughout the course of the game, but the music present is definitely high quality. While on the topic of sounds, I've often been given cause to wonder if the people who pick voice actors for games here in the USA are completely deaf. Thankfully, the voiceovers here are done just as well as the music, and I have no complaints. Valkyrie Profile ranks easily among the cream of the crop when it comes to domestically released games. Lenneth's voice in particular is strong and matches her character effectively, with the rest of the characters getting equal treatment. It's nice to see the ratio of "well-done" to "embarassing" English voiceovers slowly changing for the better. It's about time.
Other positives to note relate to some of the more polished supplementary features in the game. The 3-D map available in the dungeons is excellent, and highly useful given the nature of the sometimes confusing areas. Many RPGs have real trouble with maps, but Valkyrie Profile nails it dead-on. The other thing which struck me as particularly indicative of the borderline-obsessive level of work put into the title was the character update available during the intermissions. Between levels, you are able to pull up full status reports on each and every warrior sent to Valhalla, including watching conversations they've had and brief re-enactments of the battles they've fought in. This level of attention to detail is almost unheard of, and offers a lot of nonessential yet appreciated information for people to sink their teeth into if they so choose.
Speaking of the game as a whole, the good points of Valkyrie Profile outweigh the bad points, but the negatives that do exist are sadly significant and not easily overlooked. The incredibly high learning curve will be the one that hits you in the face first. There are an ungodly huge number of menus, screens and stats to explore and be mystified by, with various points, attributes and skills to manage between as well. As if the effort in learning the inner workings of the hip-deep menu system isn't enough to keep your hands full, there are an absolutely insane number of items which end up cluttering the various inventory screens. I suppose this unwieldy amount was intended for those gamers who like to spend a large amount of time delving into every secret nook and cranny a game can possibly offer, but literally 98 percent of the items I received either sat collecting electronic dust throughout the game or were recycled into magic points without ever being used once. With the vast, nearly limitless array of things to tinker with, it's quite easy to become overwhelmed by the information overload. I felt that the paltry two or three pointers which popped up from time to time were woefully inadequate, and that a meatier in-game tutorial was necessary and could have reduced the "What the heck does this option do?!?" factor by at least 10. Honestly speaking, I felt that I didn't really get a full grasp of the game until the third chapter, and there are only eight to play through on the "normal" level of difficulty.
The towns are very simple, empty affairs with most of the important interaction being a matter of having the right party member in the right place at the right time. It's a real matter of luck and guesswork, and after four or five unsuccessul attempts with the townsfolk I simply stopped gambling with the limited time before Ragnarok. It should also be noted that the writers have a serious addiction to flashbacks during the vignettes. When new characters join your party, the excessive use of flashbacks sometimes interferes with the narrative and breaks up the flow of the stories. A few of the tales were fairly compelling, but most felt like I had tuned into a dramatic television show five minutes before it was over. I knew something important was going on and had seen the outcome (it's always death, by the way), but I didn't know enough about the characters or the situations most times to really make them hit home. A real shame when considering that this could have been used as a powerful opportunity to write some wonderfully deep characters instead of being quick impressions of people we hardly get to know.
Those things aren't necessarily game-ruiners by themselves, but the most serious wrong turn taken by the design team would have to do with the quantity of the game's central storyline, or lack thereof. The average player will want to go through and follow the most natural course of action by keeping Odin's opinion of your efforts very positive, following orders from Valhalla to a "T," and training warriors in order to to assure victory for the Aesir. Knowing this to be the most probable and logical course of play, Tri-Ace did something completely illogical and went out of their way to actually "hide" the storyline of the main character. Revealing anything related to Lenneth's backstory and seeing any of the plot besides the stand-alone vignettes or the war's progress is accomplished by doing a string of highly unintuitive things which any normal gamer would not attempt to do unless they knew about it beforehand. The end result is that the average person will complete the game without ever seeing any development whatsoever in the characters, and not even begin to understand the majority of events or connections between actions taking place. It goes without saying that such choices do not make for a very involving or cohesive RPG. Consequently, the game feels moody and highly disjointed at times, not to mention extremely confusing due to so many holes in the continuity which require a FAQ to fill. This design decision (or painfully obvious mistake, as I like to call it) is an extremely damning one and prevents what could have, and should have, been an utterly stunning RPG from ever achieving its full greatness.
Despite the game's shortcomings, it remains an enjoyable affair from a certain standpoint, and there is a lot here to like especially for old-school gamers or those who are open to enjoy something created with a mindset very different than most of the titles on the shelf beside it . It's a tragedy that the game's potential is unrealized and thus easily overlooked, but in spite of it still provides a refreshing break from the standard self-imposed limitations of conventional RPG thinking. Tri-Ace shoud be punished and applauded at the same time.
Brad and I couldnt agree more on Valkyrie Profile. Unlike so many of the role-playing games that are out now, here is one that is wonderfully fresh and endlessly interesting (in other words, the complete opposite of The Legend Of Dragoon). I love how the game creatively wraps itself in Norse mythology, and how it infuses the battles with such action and excitement. It has truly been a while since Ive played such an imaginative and energetic piece of work. However, I just cant justify giving Valkyrie Profile a higher score because the game goes a little overboard in the scope of both its gameplay and its epic story.
About midway through, I found the game hard to manage. I became overwhelmed by its complexity, and I had a hard time adjusting to the abrupt shift in difficulty and the constant juggling of the individual storylines for the games many characters. This doesnt mean that I ever felt like giving up on Valkyrie Profile. Even through the games trying parts, I couldnt put it down. However, theres A LOT of game here, and I feel Valkyrie Profiles basic structure could have been simplified a bit. While I had a good time playing it, I never felt like I had a good grasp or a complete understanding of what was expected of me in this game.
Valkyrie Profile contains so many good things; unfortunately most of them come with a negative flip side attached. I agree with Brad that the story can seem disjointed at times—which makes it easy to lose interest—but I really like how the game goes about telling its story. The first 20 minutes of the game had a little too much story and not enough playing for my tastes, but Valkyrie Profile does make effective use of the in-game graphics and the generous amounts of spoken dialogue to provide some of the best storytelling Ive ever seen in an RPG. If only the actual writing had been better. The separate short stories that chronicle each characters death were right on the cusp of striking a strong emotional cord with me, especially in the instances in which we see how the loss of a life affects those left behind. Valkyrie Profiles English translation was handled by Jeremy Blaustein and his IMAGIC team, so I was expecting to read and hear some really nice words. (For those of you who dont know, Jeremy Blaustein is guy responsible for the great localization work on the Konami masterpieces, Snatcher and Metal Gear Solid.) Surprisingly, I found the writing and dialogue in Valkyrie Profile to be a bit heavy-handed and unimpressive in several places. Had the writing been treated with a little more care, Valkyrie Profile could have really accomplished something special. As it stands, most of the writing is the stuff bad fantasy novels are made of, although the voice talent good enough to sell it anyway. I think the game contains enough dramatic imagery and strong voice work to get its point across, but stronger writing would have made a more lasting impression.
Like Brad, I also appreciated the free-flowing gameplay in Valkyrie Profile. There is a certain structure to the game, but its nowhere near as linear as in most RPGs. The game illustrates this pretty clearly by allowing you to control the lead character Lenneth as she flies above Midgard totally free of any restrictions. She is a god after all—she can pretty much do what she wants as long as she heeds Lord Odin. Appropriately enough, Lenneth doesnt have to buy weapons, armor or items—she can make them herself. Now, the game implements this idea in a fashion that will be familiar to RPG fans, but its still a good example of how Valkyrie Profile makes its own rules, and how it follows through on its ideas pretty successfully.
If theres one problem I have with Valkyrie Profiles gameplay, its that I dont believe the game does a good enough job of informing the player of its expectations. I love the idea of training recently deceased warriors (the Einherjar) so they can fight with the gods in Asgard, but I was never sure if I was sending the right ones, and even if I was, I wasnt sure if I was sending them at the right time. I also found the whole process of managing party members, weapons and items frustrating, and its sometimes unclear as to what youre supposed to do next. Its almost as if the game expects you to figure everything out for yourself. That would normally be all right with me—I enjoy discovery and nonlinear play as much as the next guy—but for a game that contains such deep gameplay possibilities in practically every facet of its design, more explanation and guidance is needed so the player doesnt get lost.
However, I dont want to dwell too much on my gripes with the game. The positives far outweigh the negatives in Valkyrie Profile. When all is said and done, its a game filled with great ideas, beautiful graphics and music, and engaging gameplay. The action-packed battle system is easily the best and most fun that Ive ever played. To all those RPG Nazis who continue to email me telling me how stupid I am for bashing the "additions" system in The Legend Of Dragoon—you dont know what player interaction is in a battle until youve played Valkyrie Profile. And I would be remiss in my duties as a game critic if I didnt mention the coolest and most memorable aspects of the battles—the character voice clips. I never got tired of—nor I will ever forget—hearing the heroine Lenneth begin every battle by exclaiming, "To my side, my noble Einherjar!" and then finishing off a battle by dispatching of the last monster while shouting "Divine assault Nibelung Valesti!" Totally awesome—thats what RPGs are all about.
According to ESRB this game contains: Mild Animated Violence, Mild Language, Suggestive Themes
Parents don't have much to worry about despite the "T" rating. In all honesty, I'd say that the game is far above most younger gamers' abilities, so the kids or young adults who would choose to play it have probably encountered the issues present several times before. There may be one or two instances of questionable language, but those are few and far between. Some of the themes may be a bit heavy at times since death factors into the game quite often, but it's nothing to be particularly cautious of, and there is no nudity nor any sexual themes to be seen.
Casual gamers looking for lots of CG movies and similar bells and whistles found in today's RPGs had better look elsewhere as Valkyrie Profile combines some of the best elements of days gone by into a dynamic new package. The emphasis on stats and item management as well as the lack of a strong central narrative may be a bit of a turn off to some players looking for something more cinematic and light.
RPG fans with open minds will find a true departure from the norm, with interesting takes on nearly every aspect of the genre. It's not anything like a Final Fantasy, and for some that may be quite appealing.
Old-school gamers and fans of 2D art should definitely check it out since it's practically a blue moon whenever a piece of art like this gets released. The visuals are second-to-none on the PlayStation when it comes to sprite graphics—and with a warm, fuzzy feeling of 16-bit about it—most gamers old enough to remember the NES or Super NES release days should feel right at home.

What Pioneers Can Teach Us All
The glory and plight of the pioneer, something we should all aspire to.
We all know the feeling.
The feeling the pioneer gives us, the disbelief, the shock, the awe.
We never know until we experience it — but when we do, we are lost for words. We are hit like a ton of bricks, and left thinking "that's incredible."
It's innovative, it's barrier breaking, it's revolutionary, it's glorious — it's what a pioneer does.
What a pioneer instills in us is hope. The drive to do something we have never done before, something we thought impossible.
When the pioneer builds something we can't comprehend, when they manufacture an entirely new category of products, or when they win like we never thought possible — it's inspiring.
Pioneers re-define the rules.
Pioneers move us forward as a species, as a civilization, as people. They make us dream of more, inspire us to move, and create. They motivate us to be better than what we think we are capable of, and to push the boundaries wherever we can find them.
But there are things that we don't see up-front in the pioneer.
We don't see the struggle, the anguish, the battles, the small victories and the large defeats.
There is a duality to the pioneer. On one end they inspire us to be better and strive for more but on the other they struggle to keep going, to keep moving. Because while we only see the final win, they have been changing the rules, questioning authority, and breaking down the status quo.
The pioneer is forced to be an outcast, a misfit, a rebel. Because society isn't ready for the pioneer.
The pioneer struggles, battles, wins in spite and triumphs, but not without sacrifice. Winning, but not without a fight, not without opposition.
The beauty is that the pioneer is hardened by their opposition, they feed off of it, they use it, they embrace it.
Opposition nurtures the pioneer. They use it like air in a wind-tunnel, shaping them, molding them, hardening their purpose, making them more resistant to the negative drag.
The pioneer is nothing without their fight. Greatness doesn't come from a lack of adversity. Greatness comes from a fight. A fight to overcome, to triumph, to crawl out from where they've been forced.
Perhaps this is why we believe that we can't become pioneers. Because we're disconnected from this fight, because we don't have to struggle. We don't have the "chance" to be great, we haven't had the opportunity.
Pioneers seek the opportunity. Pioneers don't follow the path, they find where the path should be. It's not that we haven't fought hard enough, it's that we haven't fought where the fight should be fledged.
Prior to the 1968 Summer Olympics no one approached the high-jump in the way that we now consider normal. That was until Dick Fosbury took a back-first jump to win the Gold medal at his first Olympic appearance. The style that we now know as the "Fosbury Flop" was met with initial skepticism, and even thoughts of illegality. Though now 34 of 36 Olympic medalists in the event from the 1972 Olympics up until the 2000 Olympics used the flop.
"To follow the path that others have laid before you is a reasonable course of action; therefore all progress is made by unreasonable men" — Steve Jobs
No one thought to take 8 rounds of lethal punches from George Forman before laying an assault on the tired giant to win by knock-out in arguably the greatest sporting event of the 20th century, in Kinshasa, Zaire.
That was until Ali took the ring and showed the world something we had never seen before. Laden with ridicule, thoughts of imminent defeat, and scorn, Muhammad Ali took to strategy that no one would ever expect, tiring an undefeated heavyweight champion to reclaim his title in the 8th round. He didn't follow the path, that would have led him toe-to-toe with a raging bull. Ali forged his own path, tiring the champion, taking hit after hit until finally the time came to make his mark. An assault of glory, bestowed upon arguably the most powerful boxer of all time, to take back his crown for the third time.
The plight of the pioneer is that they will always be met with backlash, with friction, with negative resistance — because everything they fight for is against the grain. It may be from the people around them, it may be internal turmoil but there is always that harsh resistance met by a rebellious incentive to do things the way they believe things should be done.
Every great hero has a great nemesis, just as every pioneer has their struggle. Struggle only sharpens the pioneer, it's something to measure against, it's a visceral battle. When the pioneer overcomes the adversity, when they finally breach that precipice and stand anointed as a true "great" — that's when we are left in awe.
That's also when the critics, the naysayers, the close-minded status quo marchers, the friction, the opposition shows up and says, "Is that even legal?" But the pioneer has already won.
"A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor"
We would not be the same without pioneers. They teach us to question the rules, break the status quo, seek our own way, and stand out amongst the crowd. They teach us to seek the fight, not take the easy way out, to embrace the pain, because the pain is where the true path lays. They teach us to be better, to think differently, to be the greatest, to seek perfection.
Pioneers teach us that our fight is not worthless, that our dreams are not a fantasy, that we can obtain all that we dream of, and that the battle is worth the fight.
What is your fight? What do you believe in? Are you rolling with the current, or are you forging your own path? Where will you end up ? Awash in regret, or remembered throughout history?
Aspire to be great, aspire to change the world, aspire to be the pioneer.
Glory to the pioneer.

text: 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data A 200kg weather rocket is loaded with 100kg of fuel and fired straight up. It accelerates upward at 34m/s^2 for 32s , then runs out of fuel. Ignore any air resistance effects. how long is the rocket in the air? 2. Relevant equations d=Vit +1/2at^2 Vf=Vi + at V=d/t? and possibly Vf^2=vi^2 +2ad 3. The attempt at a solution Ok so i calculated the rockets average velocity which is 78km (i have to use 2 sig figs), don't know if thats revenant though. Also is the weights even a part of the problem? or is it a trick? I figured out that this problem has 2 parts, the part where its accelerating and the one where the fuel runs out but its still going upward. from the question it says 32s (which is for the first part) so do i have to find the distance for the 2nd part and just add them? some help would be very welcome :)

YourArlington -- which has published online, unscientific polls since 2006 --asked residents how they expected to vote in the March 28 town election on the ballot question asking whether they favor adding five all-alcoholic beverage licenses, from 15 to 20.
According to unofficial figures, voters favored the measure, 1,957 to 539, or 78 percent to 22 percent.
In an online poll conducted from 6:30 a.m. Monday, March 9, to 9 p.m. Friday, March 27, resulted in these responses:
Yes (94 votes or 87.04%)
No (12 votes or 11.11%)
I won't vote. (1 vote or 0.93%)
I don't care. (1 vote / 0.93%)
The ballot question said: Shall the Board of Selectmen be authorized to grant an additional 5 licenses for a total of 20 licenses in the Town of Arlington for the sale of all-alcoholic beverages by restaurants and function rooms having a seating capacity of not less than 50 persons?
Summary of question: At the request of the Board of Selectmen, the 2014 Annual Town Meeting voted to ask the Legislature to authorize placement of this question on the 2015 annual election ballot, which the legislature did. This ballot question asks the electorate to authorize the Board of Selectmen to issue up to 5 additional licenses (for a maximum total of 20) for the sale of all alcoholic beverages to be consumed on the premises in restaurants or function rooms that can seat at least 50 people.
Currently, the Board of Selectmen is authorized to issue up to 15 licenses, and to date, all 15 of these licenses have been issued. A "yes" vote on this ballot question would authorize, but not require, the Board of Selectmen to issue up to 5 additional licenses for a maximum of 20 total licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages to be consumed on the premises in restaurants or function rooms that can seat at least 50 people. A "no" vote would make no change in existing licensing of sales of alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises. This question does not affect package stores.
These poll results were published Sunday, March 29, 2015.

Sullivan's takes steaks very seriously, perfecting an American steakhouse experience from its polished wood paneling, gold patina lighting, and waved glass partitions, to hand-cut signature steaks, extravagant entrees, and sumptuous seafood. This classic takes its name and theme from the late heavyweight boxer John L. Sullivan whose early 1900s fame launched a manly savoir faire for steaks, cigars, sports, and hand-shaken martinis. Vintage photos of Sullivan's life and times add charm and authenticity.
Sullivan's has held court atop the Gardens on El Paseo for 14 years, earning awards for the Best Martinis, Best Singles Bar and Best Steak House. Thick, juicy filet mignons; lavish, buttery New York strips; massive, 18-ounce bone-in Kansas City strips; and "heavy weight" contender, a 22-ounce bone-in cowboy cut rib eye all come with a complimentary sauce or butter topping. Wild salmon simply broiled, bacon-wrapped sea scallops, or ahi tuna steak crusted with sesame and chives are among fresh seafood expertly prepared by Executive Chef Kevin Favinger, at the helm for the past four years.
Sullivan's also features a "seasonals" menu every four months, and The Sure Thing, a $39 three-course menu available year-round.
Sullivan's award-winning bar attracts the crowds for happy hour from 4 p.m., and latenight drinks and light dining. Signature martini, The Knockout, blends Svedka Clementine vodka infused with fresh Hawaiian gold pineapple. Classic Manhattans, margaritas, a Napa Collins and blueberry lemon drop are also favorites. The dramatic curved bar, high top tables, and outdoor patio provide plenty of choice seating.
Along the main dining room's back wall, a massive glass-enclosed wine cellar features 3,000 bottles offering some 300 to 400 vintages from around the world. The cozy Library with its bookshelves, leather booth seating, and subdued lighting, and the private dining room overlooking the Santa Rosa peaks, are other dining options.
Dining room opens at 5 p.m., nightly; bar at 4 p.m.; with live music. Reservations are recommended.

The Big Blue Bahamas beatdowns ended in Kentucky's second game against Champagne Chalons-Reims Basket, but as far as UK is concerned, everyone went home a winner Saturday. The fans got a close contest in the Bahamas for the first time in five games, UK got its victory, and on a trip that's supposed to be about learning, John Calipari found out in a 75-71 nail-biting win that his team still has the same heart and the same late-game toughness that defined the Cats during their magical 2014 postseason run.

There are two ways to join multiple strings: using the + operator that the String class overloads, and using the StringBuilder class. The + operator is easy to use and makes for intuitive code, but it works in series; a new string is created for each use of the operator, so chaining multiple operators together is inefficient. For example:
Although four strings appear in the code, the three strings being joined and the final string containing all three, five strings are created in total because the first two strings are joined first, creating a string containing "one two." The third is appended separately, forming the final string stored in
Alternatively, the StringBuilder class can be used to add each string to an object that then creates the final string in one step. This strategy is demonstrated in the following example.
The following code uses the Append method of the StringBuilder class to join three strings without the chaining effect of the + operator.
