It's Friday again, Project Runway fans! Last week was all about creating activewear for Heidi's New Balance line. This week, the designers faced the Belk (of the Belk Accessories Wall) Challenge. Belk's Executive VP of Private Brands, John Thomas, asked them to create a modern look for a Southern woman to be produced and sold in Belk stores and online. I love when there are two big-stakes, huge-prize challenges in a row – keeps everyone on their toes.
The good: John enjoyed Kate's bright and modern pattern, but Heidi thought the empire waist made the model look pregnant – a valid argument, but it likely would have been flattering on an average- or plus-sized figure. Bradon's plaid shirtdress with its asymmetrical high-low hem was a hit with all the judges, and Alexander's sweetheart neckline? My fave. The movement won me over.
The bad (and the ugly): Dom's dress reminded Nina of hospital scrubs. Ken took heat for creating "a beautifully cut purple nightgown" and playing it safe, especially after he bragged the whole challenge about being from the South. And finally, Jeremy's colorful, sleeveless V-neck dress and red "casino jacket" earned him a round of "madame" comments – again.
Great advice from Zac: "You're not going to become a star of 7th Avenue if you're going to be safe all the time. Fashion is about taking those smart risks." I think we can all find truth in that.
The second chance: Heidi and team, thinking the Bottom Three didn't understand the challenge, sent them back to the workroom for another hour. The result? Dom's monochromatic flirty number was a clear winner. Ken's piece was my least favorite – it was far too short and looked like two dresses fused into one – but ultimately, Jeremy's simple redesign, while pretty, just didn't impress.
Are you as ready as I am for Ken to go home? (And who misses Michael Kors already?) Let us know on Twitter at @ruelala, and I'll catch you next week. Auf Wiedersehen.

Even though federal regulators approved the Duke Progress merger Friday night some state lawmakers are still hoping to stop it on the state level unless it addresses billions of dollars in debt by ElectriCities members.
A bill before the NC General Assembly seeks to block the proposed Duke/Progress Energy merger unless the 2.2 billion dollars in debt shared by 32 municipalities that make up the NC Eastern Municipal Power Agency managed by ElectriCities is retired.
House Bill 1163, introduced by Republican representatives Leo Daughtry of Smithfield and Jeff Collins of Rocky Mount, would prevent state regulators from approving the merger until Progress gives the NCEMPA some relief from that debt when it bought into Progress' Shearon Harris nuclear plant and two coal plants.
New Bern Mayor Lee Bettis has been fighting for some relief for customers. Bettis says not only do the higher rates hurt customers, they hurt attempts to locate new business.
Duke and Progress have both said they oppose the legislation and that the ElectriCities debt has no connection to the proposed merger.

Great to have so the Helmets are not in the floor, but not enough room to fit 4 helmets in each row :(
Comments about Champion Sports HC1000 Helmet Caddy:
Like Champion Sports BH1000 Bat Caddy I think this product is made for youth teams. I purchased this product for my 16U American Legion team and to get 8 helmets in this product you have to turn them sideways and even then it's a tight fit.

Is very difficult to hold 8 helmets. They must be forced in to the pocket, and they continually fall out when it is rolled up.

We do hope that you will stay for a long time. Enjoy your stay as we work to become the best Naruto info site out there. BELIEVE IT!
If you're looking for something to do why not look over the Forums or more specifically Narutopedia Collaboration for a list of projects we're working on. And the Community portal has a lot of recent discussions and places to go listed on it.

Re: Blocking Someone
I'm not an administrator XD. You can see a list of them→ here. Blocking is usually done pretty quickly here mostly by Jacce or Omnibender. You can go to Jacce's page to see how block requests are usually made.

Re: Twin Rasengan
Though i'm not entirely sure that's necessary, all you have to do is add the image to the infobox. So you'd edit the page and put "Twin Rasengan.png" in the "image" section.

Cheers for helping with that edit. At least someone decided to go with me on it. I think it's worth a mention. SusanooUnleashed (talk) 07:50, December 3, 2011 (UTC)
I think it's sufficient enough with the mention of them having the eyes implanted. But on the other hand, it might be good to mention the increase of speed that they all gained from receiving these implants. Well, it's more within the reaction time then their actual speed I think considering how they get the increased field of vision. So maybe a mention of increased reaction time? I wanted to mention it on Fus page with how she dodged Killer Bs blade. But according to Shounen and Cerez, it was more due to her "speed" then being able to see the attack coming where it's pretty clear in the manga (or so I thought) that the Rinnegan ability of vision helped Fu dodge, not her actual speed. SusanooUnleashed (talk) 08:11, December 3, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, it may be a waste of time. You know how Shounen and Cerez are about things. Haha xD SusanooUnleashed (talk) 08:34, December 3, 2011 (UTC)
i would, if i knew how to add links, it's on www.Answers.com type in what does Kankuro mean in japanese sorry! Darkdragoncano
i have heard it from other places. i have had japanese translators, from japan. have looked up on other websites, and have live proof Darkdragoncano
i have asked the translator, but still, most the people that have argued with me on this have been downright R-U-D-E. thank you for asking, and being nice about it. i have left a message. now when he/she reply, ether my theory will be correct, or my theory will go down and . . . i shall know that the internet is a very crule place. more that it has been
what does Trolling mean? this is my first day on an account. i thought having an account would be fun, telling people interesting stuff they didn't know, making people happy, not having some person blow you off. not having an account was WAY better!!!!!!!!!!! i continued because at first they didn't tell me about the whole approvle thing, then they were rude. i am a very sensitve person, and i don't care if people fight about stupid stuff, but when you touch my last nerve, it's hard for me to not get revenge, i meant tryto Darkdragoncano
Deletion for reference.
When you add in the deletion tag do not wipe out the rest of the article, even if its obivous spam. It allows others to see the content in question that is being up for deletion. Also use: delete|quick=true with the {{}} tags when putting something up for deletion.Umishiru (talk) 02:10, December 5, 2011 (UTC)
Re: Eight Tails Telepathy
Well it seems more to me like a general ability not a jutsu or anything like that. So with that I'd just make a general note on the Tailed Beasts page that they can communicate with each other in that manner.--Cerez365™ 12:09, December 14, 2011 (UTC)

I noticed your summary on the Temple of Nirvana Technique. In case you don't know; the ranks mostly comes from the databooks. ShounenSuki has translated some of the info, and Leafninja tends to be accurate. ^_^ Jacce | Talk | Contributions 04:10, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
Hello I just wanted to tell you that Naruto Uzumaki DOES use Tailed Beast Ball because Killer B says that the Tailed Beast Ball and the Rasengan are exacly the same. I know that they are two different things but he uses one though he cannot contain it.
From FinnTheHuman74
Re: Specific or General?
I'm not too sure there's a set/specific way to do it. It can be done specific when like the Nativity of a Sea of Trees, that person is the only user or say it seems like a technique you wouldn't expect other people to know/be using out of the blue or that others just haven't used. That would mean though that when someone else uses it, it'd have to be changed to "the user". I find that for things like game techniques are better left general and other "generic" techniques are better left like that as well.--Cerez365™(talk) 10:47, June 1, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Yamanaka clan symbol
I know you didn't ask me, but still.. Anyway, take a look at the fourth point on this page this: Yamanaka_Clan#Trivia. I too had the doubt first, but after seeing that, I understood why. Teppei talk 07:57, June 24, 2013 (UTC)
- Since the Yamanaka clan's techniques aren't really secret techniques, anyone who knows how to use the techniques can be a substitute in those formations (replace the Yamanaka clan member). Whereas the Nara and the Akimichi clans' members cannot be replaced because their techniques are secret. The only thing is that the three clans form somewhat of a trio since they all live in Konoha, thus the techniques they use come under the "Ino-Shika-Cho" formation. So basically anyone who knows those techniques can replace the Yamanaka clan member and still have the tech. come under the "Ino-Shika-Cho" formation and the result will still be the same.

Farsightedness (Hyperopia)
Topic Overview
What is farsightedness?
People who are farsighted see things at a distance more easily than they see things up close. If you are very farsighted, close objects may be so blurry that you can't do tasks such as reading or sewing. A farsighted eye sees things differently than an eye that is not farsighted.
Farsightedness (hyperopia) is usually a variation from normal, not a disease. How it affects you will likely change as you age.
What causes farsightedness?
Farsightedness occurs when light entering the eye is focused behind the retina instead of directly on it. This is caused by an eye that is too short, whose cornea is not curved enough, or whose lens sits farther back in the eye than normal.
Farsightedness often runs in families. In rare cases, some diseases such as retinopathy and eye tumors can cause it.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms of farsightedness can include:
- Blurred vision, especially at night.
- Trouble seeing objects up close. For example, you can't see well enough to read newspaper print.
- Aching eyes, eyestrain, and headaches.
Children with this problem may have no symptoms. But a child with more severe farsightedness may:
- Have headaches.
- Rub his or her eyes often.
- Have trouble reading or show little interest in reading.
When does farsightedness start? How does it change over time?
Farsightedness often starts in early childhood. But normal growth corrects the problem. If a child is still a bit farsighted when the eye has stopped growing (at around 9 years of age), the eye can usually adjust to make up for the problem. This is called accommodation.
But as we age, our eyes can no longer adjust as well. Starting at about age 40, our eyes naturally begin to lose the ability to focus on close objects. This is called presbyopia. You may start to notice that your near vision becomes blurred. As presbyopia gets worse, both near and distance vision will become blurred.
How is farsightedness diagnosed?
A routine eye exam by an ophthalmologist or optometrist can show whether you are farsighted. The eye exam includes questions about your eyesight and a physical exam of your eyes. Ophthalmoscopy, tonometry, a slit lamp exam, and other vision tests are also part of a routine eye exam.
Eye exams should be done for new babies and at all well-child visits.
How is it treated?
Most farsighted people don't need treatment. Your eyes can usually adjust to make up for the problem. But as you age and your eyes can't adjust as well, you will probably need eyeglasses or contact lenses. (Glasses or contact lenses can help at any age if farsightedness is more than a mild problem.)
Surgery may be an option in some cases. Procedures to reshape the cornea, such as LASIK, can be done for milder cases of farsightedness. For severe farsightedness, surgery can replace the clear lens of your eye with an implanted lens.
But many eye specialists question whether these procedures are a good choice. Most farsighted people can have very good vision with glasses or contact lenses. Farsightedness is not a disease, and most farsighted eyes are otherwise normal and healthy.
If you are farsighted, get regular eye exams, and see your eye care specialist if you have changes in your vision.

text: Choosing between Shimano's wide-body XT trail model, or the lighter XTR version troubled me before the race. The wide aluminum body would offer secure footing, but add weight. Eventually, I decided to go with the larger platform pedal, and I'm happy I did. The extra material made it easy to maintain control and balance when not clipped in, which came in handy on some of the steep, slippery descents, or after dragging a foot around a tight corner. The pedals' wide platform proved even more vital when restarting following sloppy hike-a-bikes or after dismounting to negotiate an unrideable stretch of trail. The pedals shed mud exceptionally well, but with cleats clogged with dirt, the XT's extra surface area made it easy to sneak in a quick pedal stroke and build momentum before clipping back in.

A Chinese proverb says there are three truths - my truth, your truth and the truth. Nelson Mandela is meanwhile on record as having once said: "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart."
Both quotes have special relevance to the experience Tanzania has just had in the form of a stand-off between the government and a section of doctors in the country's public service.
It is only thanks to the wisdom of various stakeholders, including ordinary citizens who saw the situation degenerating into a crisis, that we are at last seeing light at the end of a long, dark tunnel.
Dialogue has unlocked doors and windows, leading to sanity and making reason carry the day in that the stand-off has ended peacefully and striking doctors have promised to resume work with immediate effect. It's a development the nation and all those wishing Tanzania and Tanzanians well will applaud and find comfort in.
Yes, the going has been very tough and rough these two past fortnight or so, as the strike ran on and took its toll. But hard or bitter as it may be, some things are just better forgotten to make it possible for life to go on.
Of course, we have no option but to learn from the sad experience we have had contending with the cruel events of these last two weeks. It's no simple matter when medical personnel, including specialist doctors, decide to down tools and thus leave patients to their own fate.
The Guardian feels honoured to have played the small part it had time and other resources for in appealing for the kind of interventions we have seen bearing fruit we can bet all sides that were party to the conflict are satisfied with.
Given their prominent positions in society, some institutions and institutions will obviously and admittedly have played a much more pronounced role in seeking an end to the saga.
We appreciate their intervention and pray that they will not relent in their efforts as we are yet to witness a definitive end to the problems we have been grappling with.
We also know that reaction to the events revolving around the doctors' "industrial action" has been and remains widely divided, which is only natural.
But our lowest common denominator in this particular case is the fact that our people's lives are at stake and the perpetration of arguments and counter-arguments can only make things worse, and by no means better.
This is precisely why both the government and doctors have seen of the logic of burying the hatchet, so to speak, so that normalcy resumes as talks continue. This, again, is as it should be.
We are happy that the storm is clearing. Why not agree with former United Nations Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar and bear in mind that a society is judged not so much by the standards attained by its more affluent and privileged members as by the quality of life which it is able to assure for its weakest members?

- Abstract
- We present an absolute calibration of the near-infrared Tully-Fisher relation, based on observations obtained at the Fred Whipple Observatory 1.2-m telescope and the Siding Spring Observatory 2.3-m telescope. We derive new template T-F relations by combining 2MASS photometry and published 21-cm linewidths and inclinations. We present preliminary results of a long-term program to map the peculiar velocity field of the Local Supercluster and its environs. Lastly, we compare our surface photometry with that of the 2MASS Large Galaxy Atlas.

Sleeping Draught
this wiki
The Sleeping Draught was a potion that caused the drinker to fall almost instantaneously into a deep but temporary sleep.[1][2] A standard Sleeping Draught differed from the Draught of Living Death, which was much more powerful, lasting, and difficult to make. Hermione Granger referred to the Sleeping Draught as "simple, but powerful".[1] Its recipe can be found in Magical Drafts and Potions.[2]
Key ingredients of the Sleeping Draught included Flobberworm Mucus, lavender, and valerian sprigs.[2]
Brewing instructions
- Add 4 sprigs of Lavender to the mortar
- Add 2 measures of Standard Ingredient to the mortar
- Crush into a creamy paste using the pestle
- Add 2 blobs of Flobberworm Mucus to your cauldron
- Add 2 measures of Standard Ingredient to your cauldron
- Gently heat for 30 seconds
- Add 3 measures of the crushed mixture to your cauldron
- Wave your wand
- Leave to brew and return in 70 minutes(time depends on cauldron)
- Add 2 measures of Standard Ingredient to your cauldron
- Heat on a high temperature for 1 minute
- Add 4 Valerian Sprigs to your cauldron
- Stir 7 times, clockwise
- Wave your wand to complete the potion[2]
Hermione spiked two, plump chocolate cakes with Sleeping Draught in her second year. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley left these sweets out for Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle to find. The two Slytherins ate them, unquestioningly, and soon fell unconscious. Their expressions were frozen on their faces.
The four dragons used in the first task of the Triwizard Tournament in 1994 were given Sleeping Draught to make the trip from the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary to Hogwarts easier. Charlie Weasley stated that he thought it would be better for the dragons to awake in a tranquil setting, but, upon waking in the Forbidden Forest, the beasts were as vicious as ever. In Charlie's words, the team of dragonologists used "a Sleeping Draught" to knock out all four dragons, suggesting that a normal dose of the potion might be potent enough to have an effect on a creature as big as a dragon.

Coastal residents in Eastern Carolina have been making their preparations throughout the day. This, as Hurricane Sandy makes the first of what's expected to be several hours of her presence known.
Residents on Cedar Island in Carteret County know all too well what to expect from Hurricanes just scooting by.
Sherwin Goodwin shared his routine, "I took everything into the house, got the generator ready. Got everything prepared just as if it's gonna be a major hurricane."
Cedar Island was hit hard by Hurricane Isabelle and most recently Hurricane Irene. Emergency workers say the island will likely get the brunt of the storm in Carteret County.
"Where I live right here is the worst place on the island about tidewater coming onto the property," said Tony Goodwin.
His home was raised after Hurricane Isabelle. Now his low lying property is a guide to locals as to when it's time to really hunker down.

More from Miles Mathis.....
.........Addendum, March 20, 2014: The LIGO teams have now responded to the announcement,
"congratulating their colleagues on this major discovery". LIGO stands for Laser Interferometer
Gravity-Wave Observatory. In the race to discover gravity waves, this is the opposing team, in other
words. It is a much older team, having been founded in 1992. It is a 3/4-billion dollar project funded
by the National Science Foundation, and is the largest project ever funded by the NSF. Since the NSF
is a US Government agency, this money comes from taxdollars. The NSF has a yearly budget of
around 7 billion. Anyway, it is again curious to see so little competition here. In about 12 years of
operation, LIGO has spent three quarters of a billion dollars for nothing. No detection. And now
BICEP2 comes along and scoops them with this garbage data, and they have no response except
congratulations? They have no inclination to review the data and comment on its crushing weakness?
Don't you find that odd?
This is just more proof of something I have been commenting on for years: the control of mainstream
physics. All these projects are operating on instructions from above, and in this case it appears LIGO
was instructed to play along. The 800 scientists working for LIGO have been instructed to keep quiet,
since this is where the Nobel Prize is going next year whether they like it or not.
Which confirms my larger thesis: this is all fake physics. Since no real scientists would agree to keep
quiet in a situation like this, they are fake scientists. The entire field and everyone in it is a fraud.
Both LIGO and BICEP were created and funded only to spend taxdollars. They are government makework
projects, not real science.....

- Abstract
- A healthy democracy relies on a healthy electoral system. Are the ways we run elections and political parties adapting to contemporary challenges and learning from international experience? Drawing together leading political scientists and legal scholars, this collection examines pressing debates about the regulation of political finance, parties and representation in Australia. It does so by testing the system and reform proposals against three fundamental---and sometimes conflicting---values: political equality, liberty and integrity. This book will inform and provoke all of us who take part in and care about Australia's electoral democracy.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina State is the preseason favorite to win the Atlantic Coast Conference championship.
The Wolfpack, with four starters back from a team that reached the NCAA round of 16, earned 26 of 53 first-place votes from media members at the league's annual "Operation Basketball" media day. It is the first time N.C. State has been picked as the preseason favorite since the 1974-75 season.
In addition, N.C. State junior C.J. Leslie was player of the year, teammate Lorenzo Brown was an all-ACC pick and guard Rodney Purvis was voted rookie of the year.
Duke was second with 21 first-place votes, while North Carolina was third.
Reigning tournament champion Florida State was fourth, followed by Miami, Maryland, Virginia, Clemson, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest and Boston College.

This question can best be answered if you understand the circumstances under which lawyers work depending on the State they are working from.
Contrary to popular belief, lawyers don't make millions yearly especially State attorneys that have to work for 40 hours a week only to make approximately $30,000 yearly. Law Careers site has good information on this. We interviewed a bankruptcy attorney in Burbank, CA, who really enjoys helping people in financial trouble.
Considering that other federal government jobs will pay you even more than $30,000 annually, some lawyers earn just enough to live a comfortable life but not to make them wealthy.
Lawyers that make more money are usually those that work for private firms. However, in most cases attorneys in private firms have to work for more hours some even up to 66 hours per week in a large firm. A medium sized firm usually pays more than what a state lawyer gets. If that same person in Burbank worked as a Los Angeles Bankruptcy Lawyer they would make much more.
Large and established law firms pay their lawyers up to $150,000 or even more per year. The reason may be that they are held in high regard in such organizations hence the higher pay. A specialty field like Entertainment Lawyer usually makes for a good choice. This site has a top attorney for entertainment law.
Lawyers that become partners at large firms also make a lot of money and they usually work for less hours. Such attorneys are usually senior in their organization, a position that earns them hundred thousand of dollars a year.
Though it takes time for most lawyers to reach such levels, this is a possibility and a great way of making more money working for less hours.
Law is one of the most lucrative profession but even with its higher pay, note that is a highly stressful occupation. Therefore, you should pursue it only if you are passionate about it.
Even if you are after the money, you can enjoy practicing law and get paid well for it. As for choice of working hours and salaries, you will have to the judge of that. Therefore, to answer the question how do lawyers make money?
Where you choose to work whether it is for the state or a private firm, will determine how much money you make as an attorney.

In Aroostook County, residents of the tiny town of Stockholm and neighboring communities are all abuzz over the upcoming Olympics. That's because 26-year-old native son Russell Currier earned a spot on the biathlon team, which combines nordic skiing and rifle shooting. As Patty Wight reports, it's the reward for a region that spent more than a decade rekindling its nordic skiing roots.
Here in northern Maine, where moose outnumber people and a heavy snow can dump several feet at the barn door, people say, you'd better find something fun to do. Stockholm's Russell Currier - like many in the area - found skiing.
As Will Sweetser (right) of the Maine Winter Sports Center in nearby Caribou takes to some cross country ski trails, he says the sport wasn't an obvious fit for the quiet, some say slightly chubby, Currier, who was around 12 at the time.
"The first year that I met Russell (left), he'd been on skis, obviously, before, but he didn't really enjoy it that much," Sweetser says. "I think when I saw him in seventh grade, he was the third fastest seventh-grader at the Stockholm School - I think out of a class of eight."
But Sweetser says Currier (below) didn't retain that middle-of-the-pack spot for long. The next year, he won the county-wide middle school championship. The year after that, he won third place at the junior nationals.
"He had a fairly rapid rise, but he also put in the work," Sweetser says. "I'd say if there's one talent Russell possesses, it's the drive and ability to handle the training that he has to do in order to make that kind of gain."
Skiing roots run deep in this community. It started when Swedish immigrants settled the area in the 1870s and introduced it as a mode of travel. But by the late 1990s, the tradition needed a boost, so the Maine Winter Sports Center was created to re-establish skiing as a lifestyle in rural Maine.
The towns here are small - Stockholm has less than 300 residents - so a number of communities worked to clear and maintain trails and support ski events. Those same communities have come together to help Currier's parents get to the Olympics in Sochi, Russia, by holding a spaghetti supper fundraiser.
Server: "Vegetarian or meat?"
Diner: "Meat. Of course. Come on!"
Volunteers dish out the more than 300 dinners at the Caribou High School cafeteria. The crowd is filled with people who played a role in Currier's ski career, including Tom Campbell. He groomed a trail from Currier's house to his school in Stockholm so he could commute by skis in the winter.
"At a young age, we all knew that Russell had a big engine, so we all wanted to encourage that," Campbell says, "and that is one of the things that the community does, you know."
Former high school ski coach Bob Sprague holds back tears when he thinks about how skiing has helped kids in the area grow into confident adults, including Currier.
"And that's why we're celebrating this today. I mean, God bless him, he's done the work," Sprague says. "There have been ups and downs along the way - I'm sure you've heard that from other people - and he's persevered. He's had this goal - he's worked, and he's made it. It's wonderful. I wish I could be there."
Currier's parents, Chris and Debbie, will be there. The event raised more than $10,000. Debbie Currier says when organizers called to say they were planning the fundraiser, she assured them it wasn't necessary.
"'We could go anyway, you don't have to do this.' And they said, 'We really want to be a part of it.' Everybody wants to be a part of it, and - of course!" she says with a laugh.
Some here say Currier's Olympic bid adds to the momentum the Maine Winter Sports Center spurred when it sought to reignite nordic skiing in the area 13 years ago.
Getting in a quick workout on the ski trails just behind Caribou High School, 15-year-old Caleb Willette is evidence of that momentum. Willette says he dreams of making it to the Olympics one day too.
"Now I really know that it's possible to get to that point, coming from such a small town in the middle of nowhere," he says.
Russell Currier will compete in the Olympic Biathlon on Feb. 8.

On view
In the 1930s, Braque began a series of extensive interior views occasionally inhabited by figures. Here a mixture of sand and paint roughens the surface, lending it a dense, tactile quality. The organization of patterns and textures achieves the effect of tapestry. Braque has retained such Cubist devices as overlapping planes, superimposed forms, and geometrical abstractions. The treatment of light and space is, however, almost naturalistic. The calligraphic patterns of the wallpaper are echoed in the delineation on the model's abdomen as well as in the rounded contours of the easel.

On a showing of probable cause, the court may issue a search warrant for a designated person or a designated or described place or physical object. This subsection does not affect the authority of the Secretary under another law.
(b) Searches at Border.— For purposes of ensuring compliance with the requirements of section 5316, a customs officer may stop and search, at the border and without a search warrant, any vehicle, vessel, aircraft, or other conveyance, any envelope or other container, and any person entering or departing from the United States.
(c) Forfeiture.—
(1) Criminal forfeiture.—
(A) In general.— The court in imposing sentence for any violation of section 5313, 5316, or 5324 of this title, or any conspiracy to commit such violation, shall order the defendant to forfeit all property, real or personal, involved in the offense and any property traceable thereto.
(2) Civil forfeiture.— Any property involved in a violation of section 5313, 5316, or 5324 of this title, or any conspiracy to commit any such violation, and any property traceable to any such violation or conspiracy, may be seized and forfeited to the United States in accordance with the procedures governing civil forfeitures in money laundering cases pursuant to section 981 (a)(1)(A) of title 18, United States Code.

The use of muzzleloading firearms in hunting is a time-honored tradition in North America. Check your local laws, but most areas have a season devoted to the use of this firearm. Compared with other firearms, it requires considerable skill to load, since each charge is loaded at the muzzle end of the barrel. It also requires much skill when using one to shoot game because, with the exception of double-barrel versions, there is only a single shot at relatively close range. That's why many are attracted to the challenge of this firearm. Should you choose to purchase one, be sure to go to a shooting range with someone who has experience using a muzzleloader and have them teach you how to use it properly.
Muzzleloading firearm parts vary according to style. In this chapter, we will look at the three most common ones: inline percussion, caplock or percussion caplock, and flintlock.

Stomach cancer is cancer that occurs in the stomach — the muscular sac located in the upper middle of your abdomen, just below your ribs. Your stomach receives and holds the food you eat and then helps to break down and digest it.
Another term for stomach cancer is gastric cancer. These two terms most often refer to stomach cancer that begins in the mucus-producing cells on the inside lining of the stomach (adenocarcinoma). Adenocarcinoma is the most common type of stomach cancer.
Stomach cancer is uncommon in the United States, and the number of people diagnosed with the disease each year is declining. Stomach cancer is much more common in other areas of the world, particularly China and Japan.
Signs and symptoms of stomach cancer may include:
If you have signs and symptoms that worry you, make an appointment with your doctor. Your doctor will likely investigate more common causes of these signs and symptoms first.
Doctors aren't sure what causes stomach cancer. There is a strong correlation between a diet high in smoked, salted and pickled foods and stomach cancer. As the use of refrigeration for preserving foods has increased around the world, the rates of stomach cancer have declined.
In general, cancer begins when an error (mutation) occurs in a cell's DNA. The mutation causes the cell to grow and divide at a rapid rate and to continue living when a normal cell would die. The accumulating cancerous cells form a tumor that can invade nearby structures. And cancer cells can break off from the tumor to spread throughout the body.
The cells that form the tumor determine the type of stomach cancer. The type of cells in your stomach cancer helps determine your treatment options. Types of stomach cancer include:
Because the other types of stomach cancer are rare, when people use the term "stomach cancer" they generally are referring to adenocarcinoma.
Factors that increase your risk of stomach cancer include:
Start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner if you have signs or symptoms that worry you. If your doctor suspects you may have a stomach problem, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in gastrointestinal diseases (gastroenterologist). Once stomach cancer is diagnosed you may be referred to a cancer specialist (oncologist) or a surgeon who specializes in operating on the digestive tract.
Because appointments can be brief, and because there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to be well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor is limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. List your questions from most important to least important in case time runs out. For stomach cancer, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask questions as they occur to you during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may allow more time later to cover other points you want to address. Your doctor may ask:
Tests and procedures used to diagnose stomach cancer include:
The stage of your stomach cancer helps your doctor decide which treatments may be best for you. Tests and procedures used to determine the stage of cancer include:
Other staging tests may be used, depending on your situation.
The stages of adenocarcinoma stomach cancer include:
Your treatment options for stomach cancer depend on the stage of your cancer, your overall health and your preferences.
The goal of surgery is to remove all of the stomach cancer and a margin of healthy tissue, when possible. Options include:
Surgery carries a risk of bleeding and infection. If all or part of your stomach is removed, you may experience digestive problems.
Radiation therapy uses high-powered beams of energy, such as X-rays, to kill cancer cells. The energy beams come from a machine that moves around you as you lie on a table.
Radiation therapy can be used before surgery (neoadjuvant radiation) to shrink a stomach tumor so that it's more easily removed. Radiation therapy can also be used after surgery (adjuvant radiation) to kill any cancer cells that might remain around your stomach. Radiation is often combined with chemotherapy. In cases of advanced cancer, radiation therapy may be used to relieve side effects caused by a large tumor.
Radiation therapy to your stomach can cause diarrhea, indigestion, nausea and vomiting.
Chemotherapy is a drug treatment that uses chemicals to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs travel throughout your body, killing cancer cells that may have spread beyond the stomach.
Chemotherapy can be given before surgery (neoadjuvant chemotherapy) to help shrink a tumor so that it can be more easily removed. Chemotherapy is also used after surgery (adjuvant chemotherapy) to kill any cancer cells that might remain in the body. Chemotherapy is often combined with radiation therapy. Chemotherapy may be used alone in people with advanced stomach cancer to help relieve signs and symptoms.
Chemotherapy side effects depend on which drugs are used. The type of stomach cancer you have determines which chemotherapy drugs you'll receive.
Targeted therapy uses drugs that attack specific abnormalities within cancer cells. Targeted drugs used to treat stomach cancer include:
Tests of your cancer cells can tell your doctor whether these treatments are likely to work for you.
Clinical trials are studies of new treatments and new ways of using existing treatments. Participating in a clinical trial may give you a chance to try the latest treatments. But clinical trials can't guarantee a cure. In some cases, researchers might not be certain of a new treatment's side effects.
Ask your doctor whether you may be eligible for a clinical trial. Together you can discuss the benefits and risks.
A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming and frightening. Once you start to adjust after the initial shock of your diagnosis, you may find it helps to stay focused on tasks that help you cope. For example, try to:
It's not clear what causes stomach cancer, so there's no way to prevent it. But you can take steps to reduce your risk of stomach cancer by making small changes to your everyday life. For instance, try to:

as one of the people on here who does hand drawn maps primarily, i will tell you how i go about doing them.
maps are by their very nature pieces of art. for the case of RPG maps, one has to tell a story and create a setting that allows that story to unfold in all of its parts. a simple dungeon needs to be planned, not just a bunch of boxes and corridors. each room has to be given a part in the unfolding tale you are going to be putting your players through. each town or city needs to have certain elements that add to the narrative. with this in mind, i usually start sketching. while i am drawing, i ask myself the following questions:
1. who lives here?
2. what resources do they have?
3. what is the basic economy built upon?
4. is there plentiful food and water for the populace?
for towns and cities, there will usually be a river or stream nearby that the inhabitants use for everything from drinking and irrigation to sewage and waste control. if not, there has to be some way, either a community well, or an aqueduct. in a dungeon it is a cistern, a natural water cave, etc. don't discount magic either. i usually don't include this option when i design a town, as wizards IMC are few and far between, and the clerics of the area aren't about to go casting unlimited water spells every day.
for continents, or large land mass maps, i tend to look at normal earth features for the coastlines. it's all fine and good to draw a squiggly line and call it a coast line, but i like to use google earth (which is a free download at google) and look at how nature decided the coastlines. then, i design my map thinking about plate tectonics, where the rivers go, where the forests would be, hills, and other natural features. i usually draw mountains, forests, hills, swamps, rivers, towns, and roads. for alrge maps, i'll put the largest cities and towns but nothing else. for smaller regional maps, every village, tavern, town, etc. is laid out. i don't name these on the map, because i usually scan it in and then add them with the caslon antique font. this also allows me to do various other types of map, like regional naming, resources of the land such as gold, silver, etc., and in some cases, putting where the predominant races live so i could work out the back story for the PCs i was running.
usually my maps all start with a pencil sketch which is then put into pen and ink. i like to draw on an 8x8/inch graph pad, which usually gives me the scale i need. that way you can make one square equal 10 feet, 5', one mile, ten miles, etc. this makes it easier to keep everything in scale. it is easy for the viewer to see where scale is off kilter a bit, which kills the supposed "reality" of the piece.
you can see many of my maps at the following link:
hope this helps.

- Abstract
- With the emergence of cloud computing which can deliver on-demand high-performance computing resources over the Internet, cloud workflow systems offer a competitive software solution for managing large numbers of business processes. In this paper, we first analyse the basic system requirements through a motivating example, and then, the general design of a cloud workflow system is proposed with the focus on its system architecture, functionalities and QoS (quality of service) management. Afterwards, the system implementation of a peer-to-peer based prototype cloud workflow system is demonstrated to verify our design. Finally, experimental results show that with the dynamic resource provisioning, conventional violation handling strategies such as workflow local rescheduling can ensure the on-time completion of large numbers of business processes in a more cost-effective way.

Leaves a labeled procedural-sql-statement.
The LEAVE statement can be used to terminate the execution of a procedural-sql-statement. For a list of procedural SQL statements, see Procedural SQL Statements.
The label is the beginning label of a procedural-sql-statement within the scope containing the LEAVE statement.
A procedural-sql-statement must have a beginning label if LEAVE is to be used to terminate its execution.
All intervening compound statements between the statement identified by the label and the leave statement will be left. The following actions occur before execution of the compound statements is terminated, after the LEAVE statement is executed:
- Every open cursor declared in the compound statements is closed.
- All variables, cursors and handlers declared in the compound statements are destroyed.
- All condition names declared in the compound statements cease to be defined.
If the LEAVE statement is executed within a compound statement forming the body of a procedure, execution of the procedure will be terminated.

Has it really been 25 years I heard my inner voice ask yesterday when NPR highlighted the quarter of a century anniversary of Stand by Me, the classic film adaptation of a Stephen King short story that starred a young River Phoenix. I find myself often uttering those words more and more. A true sign of aging I suppose. But anyway, back to the movie. Rob Reiner of All in the Family fame directed this tale of a group of young high school boys who venture out into the wild Oregon mountains in search of a missing body, presumably that of a local boy who had died. What they ultimately learn is that family relations are complex, growing up can be difficult and that the friendships that they develop during the teenage years can last a very long time. Check out this classic 80's coming of age tale.

Benchmark Productions managing director Rita Poulsen said on Friday night at the launch of the contest that the sum will be provided by Zantel, the event's man sponsor.
Ms Poulsen said Zantel remain the sole sponsor of the home grown singing contest, and this year's event will be known as Epiq Bongo Star Search (EBSS).
The lady who is also the chief judge of the contest could not say when the search will start, noting only that the event will start as soon as possible. She also said under the new sponsorship age limit for contestants has been reduced from 18 to 16 years.
She said they had reduced the age limit given that more youths seek that opportunity to showcase their talents.
Ms Poulsen also disclosed that for the first time in history of the search the top winner will be facilitated to record a song.
"This will be a big boost to the local music industry as our past winners were being left idle at the end of the search," she said, noting that vibrant sponsorship will give the contest a new look and improve the local music arena.
She said that this year's auditions will be extended to eight regions namely Zanzibar, Lindi, Mbeya, Mwanza, Arusha, Tanga, Dodoma and Dar es Salaam.
In his remarks, Zantel Vice President for commercial operations, Ahmed Mokhles said his company through Epiq Nation brand is happy to be associated with BSS, which is focusing on discovering and promoting youth talents in the country.
He also promised to make the search more interesting.
At the same function, Benchmark Productions awarded certificates to musicians who contributed to the success of the BSS in the past years. They are Mwasiti Almas, Dotto Amin, Patricia Hilary, Rachel, Dully Sykes , Juma Kakere, Linex, King Kiki , Marlow and Banana Zorro.
