Amazing picture!! ^-^ If the cords weren't so apparent, it'd be like fireflies in a jar.

Beautiful idea; love the simplicity and colours.
soo amazing...
Thanks for the inspiration!
wow nice.
Pure awesome
Both surreal and serene, I love this!
I like how you rearranged the wires to create a flower like design. Now they're a sight rather than an eyesore.

Indeed the FFM requirements evolved over the two years since award as regulations implementing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act were issued by CMS
This is where it gets tricky. With the evolution of the PPACA's legislative requirements, it is unclear whether the existing IDIQ for Enterprise Systems Development (awarded two years prior to the legislation as annotated above) was appropriate for the work required to build the FFMs.
Nevertheless, when the Task Order Proposal Request was issued to the 16 IDIQ holders in 2011, it should have described the work needed to support or deliver the FFM requirements specified in the PPACA legislation and implementing procedures as interpreted by CMS.

drawing.h (here) and

"drawing.h" in the
main.cpp file that you create. The following functions are declared in
void beginDrawing();
void drawShadow(int row, int col);
void drawSpeedy(int row, int col);
void drawBashful(int row, int col);
void drawPokey(int row, int col);
void drawErrorMessage(int row, int col);
void endDrawing();
Sprite with the following members:
which takes integers for row and column (in that order) and stores them
in the private data members described above, returning nothing.
getRow and
getCol, which take no arguments and return the integer values of the corresponding private data members.
draw, which takes no arguments and returns no arguments:
drawErrorMessage should be called (with the values of the row and column data members passed to it).
Bashful, and
Pokey. For each of the derived classes:
draw function so that it will be properly invoked by polymorphic calls to base-class pointers to derived objects.
draw function's only job is to call the corresponding draw function from
drawing.h (passing it the base class object's row and column values). For example,
Shadow calls
Speedy calls
drawSpeedy, etc.
main function to do the following:
Sprite class. (Note: The array itself does not need to be dynamically allocated.)
beginDrawing to prepare the window for drawing.
Shadow: 5, 10.
Speedy: 5, 44.
Bashful: 22, 44.
Pokey: 22, 10.
draw function through each of the base class pointers in the array.
new above, there should be a corresponding call to
delete. As always, I recommend drawing all dynamic memory operations to ensure correctness.)

Now outgoing South Korean President Kim Dae Jung has contributed the following: "Pressure and isolation have never been successful with communist countries, even during the Cold War." That is mostly correct, though isolation did serve to subdue Rhodesia, which, left alone, might have proceeded more slowly toward liberation by Mugabe. The attempt at economic sanctions against the Soviet Union did not work, but the Soviet enterprise was on a scale that doesn't greatly illuminate the problem of North Korea, whose 22 million people are more directly susceptible to economic strangulation.
So Mr. Bush has to straighten that out. Do we believe that a steady attrition in the food supply of North Korea will bring about a closing of the facilities engaged in enriching uranium? In straight-out wars, we happily engage in blockades. If it had been established in the fall of 1944 that more and more Germans were starving, we'd have put this down as a great achievement. Starving people to death is slower than bombing them to death, but still, it would have meant fewer Nazis to contend with.
But we are not at war with North Korea, and for that reason need to apply toward it different policy criteria. And here we have the growing disparity between the counsel of the South Korean public and that of U.S. hard-liners. The South Koreans are moving toward ambivalence about the continuing U.S. role, which has dominated policy on the peninsula for a half-century. Protests against us mount, and the incoming president, Roh Moon Hyun, is an accommodationist who seems to want merely to live another day, and this is understandable inasmuch as the North Koreans, without using a nuclear weapon, could wipe out a quarter-million people in Seoul with a single fusillade from standing artillery.
Ah, and among that quarter-million are American soldiers. We have 37,000 of them in South Korea, strategic holdovers from when we fought hand-to-hand with the North Koreans to save the South. Is it wise to leave U.S. military there, at point-blank range of the North Koreans? Or will the new government in the South consider the presence of U.S. troops a part of the infrastructure of such security as they continue to have, against a North Korea starving for food and covetous of the exercise of power?

During EMC World 2015, SiliconANGLE's John Furrier and Dave Vellante sat down with VMware's CEO, Pat Gelsinger, for a conversation about changes in the enterprise hybrid cloud market and the wide array of products and updates announced by VMware since the beginning of this year.
During the wide-ranging, 30-minute dialogue, Gelsinger was also asked for an update on the EMC Federation and the progress that's been made so far, as VMware and its partner companies work together to help enterprises everywhere embrace the cloud.
"The Federation is, by design, architected so that it offers choice," says Gelsinger. "We're off working with our independent ecosystem players, but fundamentally we're first and best [working] with each other. We see big wins that we are able to accomplish together and we are delivering some clear solutions."
After explaining the latest versions of vCloud Air and VMware vSphere, as well as a new native app for developers, Gelsinger shared his thoughts on the passing fads of Silicon Valley and the primary role of IT in enterprises today.
"IT is about building a platform for any application," he says, "in which you've created more flexibility—that is the job of IT now. It's creating an environment that allows [CIOs] to future-proof their business, take all of their old apps, data, applications, et cetera, and be able to transform them for the future of the business that they're a part of."
Gelsinger also dismissed rumors that the exponential pace of Moore's Law—which has been successfully predicting the rate of technological change for the past 50 years—may soon be coming to an end. Innovative chemical nano-engineering methods and the power of virtualization, he says, can probably bypass any physical limits in the way of greater compute power.
"Moore's Law," he argues, "allows us scale out environments we almost thought limited. That's the magic of the cloud. You know, if you can architecture your application to be a distribution application, the compute capacity that you can apply to it is essentially infinite, and at a diminishingly small cost."
For more on Pat's take on the enterprise hybrid cloud, watch the full video below:

Normally, I am a huge fan of Nuetrogena products, but I highly suggest that if you buy this product, you test it on your arm a few days before you plan to use it.
I have never had such a terrible reaction to a sunscreen in my life. I used it on my face, neck, chest and arms. After just a few hours with it on, I noticed my face was extremely red and my eyes were slightly swollen. I washed it off and went to bed, but woke up in the middle of the night with a face so badly swollen I could only open my eyes part way. I had to go to an emergency clinic and get a shot to stop the swelling. The redness and itching lasted for well over two weeks. It was horrible. I noticed they now have a message on the bottle that says, "May cause an allergic reaction in sensitive individuals." Too late for me! ;O)
Be careful with chemical sunscreens. I now use Neutrogena for Sensitive Skin (non-chemical) and am very happy.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Oily, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
Tolerance for the consistency of this product seems to vary. I feel like a white-washed mime when using it on my face. I just hate the texture, it feels like it's suffocating my skin. It pills or peels if you don't blend it enough. It stings on clean skin. It makes me feel even pastier than I am. Plus the packaging got really filthy after a few times in my luggage.
My grievances are kind of subjective, but if I will not repurchase - if I can't find another product I like, I'm kicking it down a few SPF's. I have yet to find anything that makes me feel excited about putting on sunscreen. Blah blah blah Helioplex, meh.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Normal, Fair, Not Sure

Not oily, integrates well into my skin leaving a natural silky, try touch. Packaging is a bit stiff.

Worked well at first but then began to sting my face.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Acne-prone, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I really wanted to like the product, especially with all the hype of it being weightless and ultra-sheer. I have very oily acne-prone skin that has become sensitive due to retinoids. Unfortunately it balled up really bad (I use Benzaclin underneath), stung, and was extremly gummy. The only good thing about thing sunscreen is that it has a fairly high PPD. It left a very unpleasent texture to my skin. I do not like this product and would not reccomend it. I would not repurchase.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Red, Other, Other
Eyes: Green
I've been using this product for the past few months , mainly on my body, with no problems. Recently went on vacation and started using it on my face. I thought it went on well for my combo skin and I could wear make up over it w/out being super greasy, and Idon't find the smell offensive. However, on the 3rd day of use on my face it stung upon application. I spent a better part of that same late afternoon at the zoo and reapplied the product approx every hour, despite spending much of the time in shaded areas. Later that eve after showering my skin felt like it was sunburned and my face / neck / chest had scaly/dry/irritated patches. I dunno if the burning, which persisted for about 2 days (and hadn't reapplied any sunscreen) was from the helioplex failing or from irritation lasting from the sunscreen itself. My girlfriend who has eczema tells me that the patches I have look like eczema, which I've never suffered from before. Won't be buying this product again, going to stick w/the Euro sunscreens. Also, have to note that I am very fair and skin is sensitive but not SUPER, doesn't react poorly to many products, and I don't use any retinoids, etc. on my face.

I have tried other sunscreens that said non-oily but they made my skin VERY greasy and shiney. I saw this product of the new and read good reviews about it and decided to try it. So I bought it at wal-mart, it was a bit pricey. I came home and tried it and it was GREAT! It went on so nice and didnt leave my skin greasy or shiney ONE BIT! I used it on my face, neck and ears. The only con is that the bottle is pretty small and doesnt last very long. I only use it on my face. I definatally recomend this prodcut if you are sick of greasy sunscreen. It is 100% worth the price. You get what you pay for.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I love this non-greasy non-sticky sunblock. It goes on sheer and doesn't make me break out. Also comes in several strengths so you can use the level of protection you want. This is the only sunblock that I will use on my face... I use it for my body also, but as a face SPF, its fabulous. Absolutely no greasy feeling. Wonderful scent and not too costly. Approx. $9 CND.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
I always buy this because it is the least greasy of all sunblocks i have tried. I use it on my face with no problems, but I avoid my eyelids because it stings them. It makes my skin soft.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Brown, Other, Other
Eyes: Brown
This is a good sunscreen! The only two negatives, it takes a while to absorb and it balls up in places if it has not been washed off and reapplied. This past weekend I spent jetskiing and sunbathing and I noticed I missed a couple spots one by my hairline and the other on the back of my neck and was I ever red. The other areas covered by sunscreen were fine, no sunburn so I believe that this works. I will continue buying this. I am always open to try other sunscreens though because it isn't perfect

my car makes a crazy sound when i turn and accelerate

yea i have an 07 nissan altima 2.5s and when i turn and accelerate it makes a sound like when the transformers are transforming. my sister's old car used to do it too after about 70,000 miles. my car only has 30,000 miles on it and i like to think that i take care of it but that sound scares me. anybody know what it is?
and oh yea i have a break problem too. they squeak badly whenever i break but when i got them inspected a few weeks back and they said that i still had 45-50% break pad left. anything i can spray on em to stop the squeakin?
|6 years ago
|class of '09 - away - #3
Brakes- If it is squeeking it can be from either the pads are wearing out, or your roters are worn out. ALso sometimes when your brakes get wet it makes the squeek noise as well. I reccomend you repalce the front pads (for an altima its prolly like 50-60 bux) and leaving the rear alone for now.
Car noise - It can be from many things. Make sure to change your oil every 4k miles since it an altima I doubt you using syntetic oil. It can be your transmision fuking up. Always make sure you car is fully stopped before switching gears cuz that will grind the transmission. Make sure you got transmission fluid too.
My guess you either didnt change your oil or you ran out of transmission fluid in either case you will be f**ked if you dont fix it asap.
|6 years ago
|class of '08 - away - #5
just check all your fluids....trans,oil,powersteerng,brake...etc
|class of - - #7
does it make that noise when you turn right or left or both?
next when you start you car up leave it in park and turn the wheel all the way to one side doesnt matter which side and if it makes loud whining noise its your power steering fluid.
if thats not it and it makes a noise when you go into turn. its a possibilty that its your cv joint going bad.
and your brakes making that noise are one of two things first like dude said cracks and such from intense heat from braking to hard or you ride your brakes a lot and have glazed your pads over.

Gilb strikes again...... Another thing to check to see if there's any fluid underneath the ride. The powersteering fluid should be a redish color. Look at the power steering resivor to check the fluid level. Depending where you are it maybe too hot so you have to fill it accordingly.

I'v worked on nissans and I have to say they are the worst cars to buy. I have replaced transmissions on sentras with 40,000 miles, replaced axles very common on sentras lol. But check the pads see how much they are worn down, if they aren't worn down then reclean them. For the noise when you turn, I'd suggest checking the power steering fluid if it's low fill it up to right level. Please respond back if you have done all of this.

Do not sleep in a bar!
Yes, you read well. Do not sleep in a bar in Maine. It is forbidden. How I could know it? Well, it was my second day in the US and was still hit by the jet lag. Just after eating in a resturant I felt asleep despite of the live music but I was not lying....simply sitting on my chair with closed eyes. The first time the waiter saw me with closed eyes, he clapped his hands in order to wake me. I though it was a joke. The second time, he did it again, telling my husband: she was sleeping! The third time I asked him what was the problem so he explained me it is forbidden by Maine's law to sleep in a bar. Could some king VT from Maine explain me the ratio of this rule? To avoid that homeless have refuge everywhere? Could I say that such application was a bit exagerated? I was not alone, my husband were awake and listening to live music, I did not disturb anybody, we paied the bill with a regular tip....what's wrong?Related to:

Car License Plates?
Have a look at picture 1 for the official Maine car license plate. Nice, isn't it? Especially the lobster ... and vacationland? Yup, right. But what happened to the car license plate on picture 2? Hmm, you wouldn't believe it, but on some islands - like Long Island in Casco Bay, where our friends' other daughter owns a house - the cars don't need a license plate. No insurance, no taxes for cars. And don't ask about the technical condition of the cars ... LOL But we managed. Drove the few hundred meters to the beach and it didn't matter that the power assisted steering didn't work. I cannot exactly recall if the brakes worked properly but the speed never exceeded twice the walking speed ... an unforgettable experience.
Lobster fishing
Long ago, before traps were used, lobsters were fished from the shallow waters by spearing or gaffing. Fishermen hunted for lobsters by torch light on calm evenings, spearing them as they crawled around in search of food. During the day they would spread a slick of oil over the surface of the water darkening the water below, and then throw out cod heads for bait. The lobsters would swarm around the bait and the fishermen would spear them.
Because the lobsters were worth more if there were no spear marks in them, the fishermen began using wire cages to trap the animals so they could get a better price. These wire cages were adapted from the Europeans who used them to catch crayfish and Spiny lobsters.
It was in the late 19th century that the fishermen would row out in dories or in sailboats and set their traps. Two men normally manned a boat and fished about 200 traps. They would set out before dawn and come back to the wharf anytime between 10 and noon.
Most lobster traps today are made of metal or a combination of wood and metal and are manufactured in a factory. The original wooden lath trap is said to have originated in Cape Cod in 1810. The traditional wooden lath lobster trap that is still quite common today consists of two main sections, the kitchen and the parlor. A lobster first enters the trap through funnel shaped structures called doors (also called funnels). After successfully entering through one of these doors the lobster enters the kitchen where the bait is tied. When a lobster tries to escape from the kitchen it is led through another door into the parlor. Small vents in the parlor allow undersize lobsters to escape, but larger lobsters are stuck there to await their fate. The "doors" are shaped in such a way that it is easy for the lobsters to get in but difficult for them to get out.Related to:

It seemed to me that almost everyone must have their own boat in Maine. Especially during our ferry trip in Casco Bay we saw probably more than a hundred of such quite fancy boats. Our friends explained that there are a couple of luxury resorts on those islands - like Diamond Cove. And the boats probably belong to the guests. Quite a sight, though.
It must be fantastic to have such a boat and sail or drive off the coast through the bays, landing here and there, wherever you please. I found out that sailing cruises are offered (of course). Here's a website: www.sailmaine.orgRelated to:

Wicked Whoppie Pies!
We found this rather not very good looking "snack" for lack of better word in just about every convenience store in Maine, and only in Maine. Had to try one at least once! We got a "Wicked Whoopie Peanutbutter Pie" at a small store in Sea Harbor on Mount Desert Island. It was pretty good actually, but I think I prefer blueberrie pie.....
Maine has lots of blueberries. We found many in the woods, and also found this cute little place on US-1 , on the way north to the Canadian border , about an hour from Calais.
They had THE best blueberrie pie I have ever had! They also had muffins, coffee, souvenirs , preserves, anything you could possibly do with blueberries.Related to:

state symbols
state motto: "Dirigo" (I lead)
in elections it has often been said that "as Maine goes so goes the nation"
state seal: sedate pine forest scene bordered by a farmer and a sailor (for the two largest industries of Maine); the state motto is on top
the state flag is the state seal centered in blue field
State Nickname: "Pinetree State"
the state tree is the white pine
the staet beverage is Moxie soda
the state bird is the black cap chickadee
fast driving....
I don't mind fast drivers on the road with me except in two circumstances:
--- when it is pouring or snowing and the rooster-tail they leave in their wake as they pass me obstructs my view
--- when they are going 5 miles faster than me and right on my back bumper (can't even see their headlights)
Maine drivers manage to do both of these annoyances.
So when you drive through Maine especially on the interstates, expect both of the above situations to occur to you too.

Maine has got Moxie
On May 10, 2005 Moxie became the official soft drink of the State of Maine.
Moxie was the first mass produced soft drink. Created in 1884 in Lowell, Massachusetts by Dr. Augustin Thompson, Moxie was marketed under the product name Moxie Nerve Food and originally sold as a "cure all" medicine. Later , it was sold in carbonated form and merchandised as an invigorating drink, which claimed to endow the drinker with "spunk."
Moxie is now found mostly in New England and is very popular in Maine.Related to:

the stigma of being "From Away"
"From Away" is a term used by locals to describe
anyone who is not from Maine. Even if you live in Maine and have done so for years, you are still From Away.
This quote from The Tidewater Motel website sums it up perfectly:
"There are only two places, Here and Away. Away is a big place but, make no mistake about it, Here is Here and Away is the other place. Billions more people live Away than Here, although increasingly, during the summer, it seems otherwise."
Monday Nights at the Association Hall. Fun!!!!
Every Monday night when you are on Cliff Island, Maine. They have a get together at the Association Hall which is over the Post Office and behind the Tennis Court.
Lots of fun, usually a performing act comes and entertains us. They can be well known, and surprising to be here on this little island.
Sometimes a dance, singers, or musicians, sometimes a comedian, or a lecture, but no matter what it is always great to get out for the night, and see the other islanders (not only at a ferry time).Related to:

Lobster Pounds
Lobster pounds are a Maine Institution where people can go and eat lobster in a casual setting. You buy them by weight and the live beauties are then boiled in sea water in big vats outside, fired by wood. It is quite a scene to behold and almost as good as the lobster itself. I did say almost as the meat is as sweet and succulent as you will ever find.Related to:

Blueberries everywhere
Pancakes, pie, crepes, waffles and even beer, Maine sure capitalizes on its blueberries. And with good reason--they know how to use them. It never would have occurred to me to put blueberries in beer, but it seems to work. The flavoring is pretty good and I'm not really a fan on fruity beers. However, when it was served, I could have done without the actual blueberries hanging out on the bottom of my glass. After one of these beers, I was ready to move on to something a little more...traditional. But the next morning, I did have some blueberry pancakes which were wonderful:) I do recommend having the beer--just to try it:)
Lobster Roll
Lobster rolls are all over the New England coast but Maine is most noted for them. In its best form, the sandwich consists of prime lobster meat and mayonaise on a toasted sesame bun. The cheaper ones use celery for filler. Hey, this is not tuna, it is lobster so no filler please. This was a great one served up at Mariner's in Camden.Related to:

Lobster Rolls at McDonalds???
What the heck? Yes, you are reading that correctly! Maine is so obsessed with lobster that they sell it at McDonalds! Incredible! I haven't had it at McDonalds... but the lobster sandwiches at the smaller lobster shacks are delicious.. mmm.

candida must have, no seriously!

Systematic candida, 15 years. Boron helps asorb Calcium and Magnesium, so it stops you from pissing it out. Calcium and magnesium stay in the body for longer periods. Memory and energy impoves after taking it. Fungal feet nails are nearly looking like normal nails, I say 4 more weeks and I'll be having beautiful nails. Only been taking 'Boron' for nearly one month! 12mg, so four tablets a day, will reduce in two months to 6mg. Magnesium chloride for magnesium, 1.5mg calcium and magnesium a day, no milk. Awesome brand and awesome service! Thankyou iHerb!

My doctor recommended both magnesium and boron with calcium to improve aborption of calcium. My latest bone scan showed improvement over my last one so I am assuming this combination works.

Boron is one of those trace minerals that help build bone, and helps many other functions. I notice a energy boost and more focus, everything seems to click after taking it. Do your own search and you'll find it's quite the little workhorse. If just for strengthening bone alone, it's worth a go.

[The poet Alasdair Maclean's parents were the last crofters in Sanna, a seacoast hamlet in the west highlands. It is one of the most beautiful places on earth, but it was a hard place to make a living from farming. After many hardships, their life got a bit easier in 1970 when they began to receive an old-age pension from the British government. They died a few months apart, in March and August, 1973.]
"Don't grieve for me," Father had said when he was carried from the house on a stretcher, after his first coronary and before his last one. "I'll be with your mother."
My younger brother had been greatly struck by this anecdote almost in spite of himself. "Do you think there's an after-life?" he asked me now.
I gave the question the serious consideration it deserved. "Who knows?" I said eventually.
"I don't believe it," my brother continued. "Never have done. It's a fairy-story. Yet I like to picture them meeting again. Up there, you know. They've earned that if anybody ever earned it. I like to think of flower-strewn meadows, all that stuff. Father a young man once more, running across the grass. Mother waiting for him. What do you think they would say? How would they greet one another?"
I thought of Mother, her exclamation "My!" when anything impressed her and how much had impressed her despite her unimpressive surroundings. I could not at first get words past the sob in my throat. "O that's easy," I replied when at last I could contort my voice into something resembling normality. "He wouldn't say anything at all. She'd just say, "My! Ian! You weren't long!"
--Alasdair Maclean (1926-1994) in his reminiscence of his parents and the life of a crofter in Sanna, Night Falls on Ardnamurchan (1984). Sanna is now a tourist destination.

Considering how common illness is, how tremendous the spiritual change that it brings, how astonishing, when the lights of health go down, the undiscovered countries that are then disclosed, what wastes and deserts of the soul …it becomes strange indeed that illness has not taken its place with love, battle, and jealousy among the prime themes of literature… literature does its best to maintain that its concern is with the mind; that the body is a sheet of plain glass through which the soul looks straight and clear.

It is considered one of the most beautiful and simple lives of the Dark Ages. The translation is a loose one.

Beyond Sanctuary (1985)
by Janet Morris
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I surprised myself; I liked this book a lot better than I thought I would! A fantasy, with background of a group of mercenary soldiers [based on the Sacred Band of ancient Greece, with the same name], witches, wizards, shape-changers, and a wintry country under the domination of an evil mage [wizard]. This Sacred Band, from a disreputable, shabby area known as "Sanctuary", confronts this country, beyond the "Wizardwall". It was a rousing story, kept my interest all through, but other elements were so-so. Characterization, other than Commander Tempus and Niko, of the Sacred Band, was lacking. The villains were cardboard cutouts. The author had an original idea, drawing on not only classical Greece, but Sumerian mythology. I was squeamish at some of the violence.
Janet E. Morris' Beyond Sanctuary is a splendid mashup of Dark Fantasy and ancient grandeur. Read this and you'll be transported into the Baroque masterpiece cover, joining the battlefield alongside gods and champions: Life to you, Reader, and everlasting glory!
The Cover: This Author's Cut version features Peter Paul Rubens' 1618 painting "The Death of Decius Mus in Battle"(translated title); this extends Perseid Press' cover art approach. This represents the book very well; it promises to drag you into epic, divine combat rooted in history. It delivers. Expect fantastic magic, doses of horror, stealth military sorties, and mature themes.
Tempus and Niko: The book follows many characters, but focuses on Tempus and Niko; the story arc leans toward Niko's plight, though Tempus is ever present. Tempus begins living a curse in which those who love him get hurt, and Niko recovers from losing his sacred partner (only to have his mind vied for by a god and sorceress). These are deeply motivated characters who parley directly with gods as contemporary immortals .
A Mature Read: Having not read the Thieve's World Series from which this novel evolved, I entered this with a blank slate. This is ostensibly the best starting point to delve into the Tempus & Niko series (see the reading list below). Here is what you can expect:
• History-Informed Magic & Culture: Foremost, Beyond Sanctuary blends fantasy with historical elements so seamlessly, that history-deficient-folk like myself cannot easily differentiate pure-fiction from history-informed fantasy. Whether it's Niko's attraction to young women (which creeped me out despite being common in many cultures long ago and even today) , the intimate pairing of elite warriors (~the Sacred Band of Thebes), or the landscape of Nisibis and Mygdonia (those were real territories)... heck, even the gods and spiritual concepts are informed from ancient beliefs (i.e. Enil, Maat). The immortal characters and magic are presumably fiction. This mashup of fantasy/history yields a rich world for the characters to navigate. An informative Wikipedia posting on the Sacred Band of Stepsons explains more.
• Mature Scenes: Adult-appropriate sexual scenes are abundant, though not gratuitous (they reflect the milieu informed by history).
• Style: Expect intricate sentences with a panoply of vocabulary (and even parenthetical asides).
• Names/Forms: Each character has multiple names (Stealth/Niko...Riddler/Tempus… Datan/Osprey … Roxanne/Cybele; and these folk assume various forms (they use illusions to become imposters, they shape shift into animals...)
• Factions: There is a large portfolio of guilds, states, and cultures (Stepsons, Sacred Banders, Successors, Gods, Hazard Class Wizards, Wizard Wall Wizards, Rankans, ...); the characters each have multiple allegiances (to men and gods, or just men, or just men of certain region, or men and wizards…).
• Conflict: Given so many characters with allied & competing factions, there are as many conflicts as there are combinations (Tempus vs. his sister, Cyme; Cyme vs. Wizards, Tempus vs. Gods, Tempus vs. Wizards, Tempus vs. Roxanne, Niko vs. Gods, free Nisibis vs. Wizards, Mygdonia vs. Tyse vs Nisibis…)
Series Reading List: Such depth requires more books! This first installment prepares readers for the series. Any fan of the Thieve's World would no doubt devour this novel; in fact, any fan of alternate histories or epic fantasy would enjoy it. For me, it's on to Beyond the Veil, and I can't wait to get to the later books that repackage the original short stories presented in Thieves World:
The Author Cut Versions, in strict chronology (as of 2014, noting that more books may be published ):
1) Beyond Sanctuary
2) Beyond the Veil
3) Beyond Wizardwall
4) Tempus with His Right-Side Companion Niko (this contains flashbacks and the five original Janet Morris Sacred Band of Stepsons tales presented in the original Thieves World anthologies)
5) The Sacred Band
6) The Fish the Fighters and the Song-Girl(this contains a new novelette and frame story, with flashbacks and the six original Janet Morris, Janet and Chris Morris, and Chris Morris Sacred Band of Stepsons tales presented in the original Thieves World anthologies)
Tempus: one of my favorite characters from Thieves' World, and in general. How could I resist the first novel? Or the second... or the third...
Those were good days.

The Future of Children
Volume 23, Number 1, Spring 2013
pp. 3-16 | 10.1353/foc.2013.0006
Since the introduction of the GI Bill in 1944, college has been part of the American dream, in large part because it is viewed as a ticket to economic security. Currently, about 21 million individuals attend a postsecondary institution, and the vast majority of high school students aspire to earn a bachelor's degree or higher.1 While the popular image of college may be dominated by Ivy League schools, flagship state universities, and elite liberal arts colleges, in fact only a minority of students attend such institutions. Many go to less-selective regional four-year colleges and universities and vocational institutions, and nationwide close to 40 percent are enrolled in open-access community colleges. A small but growing number of students are working toward college degrees mostly or entirely online.
Students pursue postsecondary education for a variety of reasons. Some are looking for a broad liberal arts education, while others are more career focused. Still others enroll to take only a class or two to keep up their skills or simply for the joy of learning. U.S. postsecondary institutions serve not only those students with the best academic preparation but also those who were not well served in the nation's elementary and secondary school system and need a second chance. This range is reflected in the differing degrees of "college readiness" among entering postsecondary students and in the increasing proportion of students who are "nontraditional" in that they are older, from less advantaged families, financially independent of their parents, parents themselves, or working while going to school.
As enrollments in postsecondary education have increased, so have private and public investments in education. Federal, state, and local governments combined contribute about 1 percent of the nation's gross domestic product ($160.9 billion in 2011) to postsecondary education, largely predicated on the belief that it addresses long-standing economic inequalities and leads to economic growth.2 Namely, investment in education benefits the individual in many forms, including higher lifetime income, and benefits society by increasing labor force productivity, which in turn generates faster economic growth. Growing evidence backs these claims. For example, individuals with a bachelor's degree earn 50 percent more during their lifetime than individuals with no more than a high school diploma, and their unemployment rate is less than half as high.3 Research also suggests that college graduates have higher job satisfaction and better health outcomes than those without a college degree. Finally, economists such as Enrico Moretti have documented significant benefits to the broader society: workers earn more in cities with higher proportions of college graduates, suggesting that more educated workers generate positive "spillovers" to other workers. In fact, he documents that cities with more highly educated populations are hubs of innovation and experience faster economic growth than those with less educated populations, again generating positive spillovers to all residents.4 Increased globalization and advances in production technology suggest that post-secondary education will become even more important to the economic security of individuals and society in the future, as suggested by the work of economist David Autor. He has documented that the occupations that have grown over the past two decades require more "non-routinized" skills, many of which are associated with postsecondary education.5
Despite these data, critics are starting to ask whether current high levels of investment in postsecondary education are still worth it. Nowhere is this question more starkly voiced than by Peter Theil, cofounder of PayPal, who two years ago began offering young entrepreneurs up to $100,000 not to go to college. His reasoning is that traditional postsecondary institutions do not teach the critical skills that individuals need to succeed in the "real world" of business. Because timing is everything in business, Theil argues that young people with good ideas should not wait an additional two to three years to complete a degree before fully developing a new product.6
Others agree that postsecondary education may not be worth it, but their reasons primarily concern the relationship between the high price of postsecondary schooling and the future return, especially in the form of employment and income. For example, based on the Consumer Price Index, overall prices increased...

THE LIVING AND THE DEAD (1954) by Boileau-Narcejac
Pierre Boileau and Thomas Narjejac's mysteries in the 1950s and 60s were admired for their great plot ingenuity but not for their plausibility. This is certainly the case with their third novel, a morbid tale with a giant twist adapted … Continue reading

I bought this because I had to bathe a young kitten. I did not want to use something harsh. Groomax Gentle Cat & Kitten shampoo is great for this. The scent is a soothing lavender. It is unlike flea shampoos that have harsh smells and effects. It leaves the coat soft and sheen with a great smell.
Pros: Great Scent, Gentle
Cons: none

Clean Kitty

I use this shampoo to bath my cat Stewball. Who because of age can't reach certain areas and her fur starts to stain after a while. But this shampoo washed them right out.
Pros: Very gentle but still works
Cons: none

About MeHello,
I'm Aivaras Gadliauskas, a freelance photographer from Lithuania. I wouldn't dare to say that I'm a professional photographer, but I have some experience and I look forward to perfect my skills. And that is the reason why I'm here, because I believe, that MM can help me to become a better photographer and find some people I could work with.
I couldn't exactly describe my photography stile yet as I'm still searching for myself and experimenting, so I am open to any idea. What I'm looking here is models, make-up artists, designers, etc. Of course, you'd better be from Lithuania, but I am always open to any offer :) And I would be very grateful for any advice or tip.

It's tough trying to figure which side of Oliver Stone's career Savages would fall under. Part of the director's output is fueled by an angry that's always unafraid to show people at their ugliest. Then there's another side, which we've seen these past few years, that's much softer. While Stone's recent work...

With temperatures reaching near 90, the inside of a car can be twice as hot and pose a serious threat to your pets.
If a dog is left unattended inside a vehicle for 15 minutes, studies have shown the animal could suffer brain damage or die from heatstroke. While there's no specific law in the state of Michigan against leaving a dog inside a vehicle, a person could spend up to four years in prison or a $5,000 fine for inhumane treatment.
Terri Ahonen says she'd never leave her eight month old goldendoodle in the car.
"It's very dangerous especial this time of year," said Ahonen. "The temperatures on the car can rise very quickly, so you need to be a responsible pet owner."
If you see a pet left unattended in a vehicle, authorities recommend you call the police.

Happier times: Momentum staff celebrate their 10th anniversary earlier this year
Nazia Dewji / / News
A Kingston charity is still waiting to be paid £27,000 raised at a charity auction celebrating its 10th anniversary two months ago.
Momentum, which supports children with life-limiting illnesses such as cancer and their families, has been waiting for weeks on charity auctioning company Bidtech to pay up.
It was the first time they had used the company, which describes itself as "the European leader in charity auction technology", allowing auctioneers to use iPads to place bids.
Momentum co-founder Bianca Effemey said: "A lot of money is at stake - many auction prizes are from local people - and as a charity one feels responsible for this and responsible for the loss of any funds that people have kindly donated.
"People only give auction prizes because they want to help a charity, not to fund anything else.
"This year is our 10th anniversary and in many ways it has been so positive.
"I do hope we can put this sorry case behind us as soon as possible and concentrate on what we do best – which is to support sick children and their families."
The charity based in Park Road, Kingston first broke the news on Twitter to its followers on Monday night.
It tweeted: "NEWS, we haven't received our auction money from May Event (over £27k). ALL CHARITIES BEWARE DO NOT USE @BidTech & @pauljcunniff."
The tweet directly to the company and its director was deleted the following day.
According to its website, Manchester-based Bidtech's previous clients include Children in Need, Unicef and NSPCC.
A spokeswoman from Momentum said they had been happy with the company's service at the event but added: "Momentum has sent numerous emails and made countless phone calls to Bidtech, many of which have not been answered".
The Surrey Comet has made unsuccessful efforts to contact Bidtech by phone, email and tweeting its director Paul Cuniff.
Mrs Effemey said: "My advice to other charities is that having an iPad action system for a charity auction is worth investigating but that the taking of the proceeds for the event should stay and be managed by the charity and not an outside entity."

This kind of story about yet more venal corporate practice enrages me. If it were me, I'd take a day off, trek up to their HO in Altrincham, and refuse to budge until the money is handed over.

Expanding knowledge of renal diseases since the first edition clearly warranted this re-presentation. The updated information is comprehensive and authoritative; it is presented with consistent clarity by the large number of contributors.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature of most chapters is the tightlyknit connection between underlying concept, relevant experimental and clinical evidence, and recommended clinical management. While each of the authors could have written more theoretically for his own specialized field and readership, each has also reflected his extensive practical experience; hence most chapters continue to be practical and useful for clinical decision-making. Where progress has been limited, that fact is stated and the version in the first edition is changed very little.
In the first ten chapters, the reader is oriented to renal structure and function by means of experimental and clinical methods, to the consequences of renal failure in terms of functional derangements in nephrons, blood, bones, and

Good review. I recently purchased M$ Streets & Trips also and I agree with most of what you have to say. I think you forgot to mention one con though (or i missed it). If you decide to take an emergency pit stop (gas, etc.) the voice navigation annoyingly lets you know that your off route in like 60 second intervals.
Other than that though this software is awesome IMO if you have a nice sized screen to use it on. I used it on my laptop and it was still a little hard to see while driving.
About iGuidance as compared to S&T's, it really depends on what you want to use them for and your preferences. I prefer the simplicity, large graphics, and unclutterd gui of iGuidance in day to day activities. But in long haul trips Streets and trips wins hands down. The number of configurable options such as being able to enter gas mileage so that S&T automatically calculates gas stops and schedules them on the route is simply amazing for those summer trips. (Dont be like me "Its okay wife, we'll make it to the next exit, huhhh, whats that noise) . But the same thing that makes S&T's great for longer drives makes it unusable for me for trying to figure out where the nearest ABC Company is in my city. Streets & Trips is layed out similiar to their office products meaning theres many menus to go thru sometimes to find simple things.

Internationally acclaimed Rendell brings back Chief Inspector Wexford for another appearance. But this time around he seems to plod along without the usual sparkle, despite the intriguingly twisting plot. Perhaps it's the assortment of suspects, all thoroughly unlikable, that notches down the gratification.
When a truffle-hunting dog turns up some clearly human remains at an old trench site, Wexford, with the help of Detective Sgt. Hannah Goldsmith, ends up investigating an 11-year-old crime and trying to find an identity from among nearly 100 reported missing persons. When a second body is discovered near the scene of the first, Wexford and staff must look into multiple murders and quirky suspects with a variety of motives to find the truth.

Best teachers for an indie-rock fan to admire (2008)
Vivien Goldman
Most of us have sat through boring, dry lectures from teachers who lost their verve decades ago. But there are at least two New York City teachers don't have any difficulty talking about pop culture to their classes, because both of them have spent years wired into it. Vivien Goldman is author of the Bob Marley bio The Book of Exodus, recording artist with a track on an upcoming Chicks on Speed compilation, and TV producer. But now she's flexing her academic muscles at NYU's Tisch School of Arts, educating eager young minds about punk and reggae, scenes in which she was a witness and participant. As for David Grubbs, his job as assistant professor at Brooklyn College follows stints in Gastr del Sol and Red Krayola, and a solo career and Blue Chopsticks label. He now teaches a John Cage seminar, radio production, and a history-of-experimental-music course, not to mention his work leading a student improvisational ensemble. Makes you want to go back to school.
