A Small Waterfall Composter
Small gardens call for small composting facilities.In my case a very small facility.After having tried woven sacks and finding them unsatisfactory I built the small composter seen in the picture's center.It simply consists of a basket suspended in a frame - in my case a wooden frame - with room under it for a runoff container.Runoff is created by gently pouring water over the basket's decomposing content, after punching a few holes into it from the top downwards with a rod or stick if required.So this is the waterfall and it's operated manually.The chlorine free water which is poured over it seeps through the charge and becomes a mild compost extract,collected in the removable container underneath.From there it's taken and used as a liquid fertilizer.Should a stronger solution be desired the same amount of water can be passed repeatedly through the compost charge.
This way,even a compost quantity that small - about 32 Liter/8 Gallons - can yield fertilizer on a daily basis.Also,once from every few weeks to every few months the whole affair is turned upside down and the finished - or semi finished - compost is screened off with 5/8'' chicken wire (15mm). Then,the remaining material is filled back into the composter and any necessary adjustments to the mix are made.
As the material keeps on shrinking,new stuff is added almost every day.I always chop up the material as this helps with the composting process and with handling later.
Of course,with a setup of this kind and this small the composting process is more dependent on environment temperature than classic bins.In hot weather You can watch the charge as it shrinks from day to day.
All parameters are easily controlled: producing extract keeps it moist,during heavy rains a cap can keep off the water,should it start to compact a rod can be worked through the basket to aerate it's content,every time compost is screened off it is automatically remixed and aerated.If correctly maintained there is never any smell even when one stands next to it.
The composter pictured above was built entirely from scrap I had laying around and,by the way so were the two growing towers to it's left and right.It didn't cost a single cent.Of course,the basket will be consumed ultimately,after two or three years,and this will provide an opportunity to further improve it's design.

Cupcakes — this is the insulting term local media often uses to undervalue, underestimate and margainize the Gophers men's basketball non-conference opponents each season. Former coach Clem Haskins hated such annual references to his early-season schedule, which included at least one Historically Black College and University (HBCU) school each year. "Not only is it financially beneficial to them [the visiting team gets a guaranteed payout plus a portion of the gate receipts], but it also exposes them to a great city and a great atmosphere and Big Ten basketball," explains Gopher Coach Tubby Smith on scheduling Tennessee State (TSU) at Williams Arena this Thursday at 7 pm. "That's what we try to do on a yearly basis."
Nearly 20 players who played at TSU, including Dick Barnett, Leonard "Truck" Robinson and Anthony Mason, were later drafted and distinguished themselves with long pro careers in the NBA. The late John McLendon, who learned and put into practice the fast break from James Naismith, won over 87 percent of his games as head coach in the 1950s. Continue Reading →

Filling Stations, also known as Gas Stations, Petrol Stations, or Service Stations, have been featured in every game in the Grand Theft Auto series since Grand Theft Auto III. As limited fuel is not a game mechanic in GTA games, they are not interactive, except for in Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, where they are used to create molotovs. The pumps can be blown up with a hard collision or gun shots, and some service stations in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas have accessible interiors.
The prices on Gas Station price boards generally reflect the prices of fuel of the place and era of the game in which they are found. For example, gas prices in San Andreas are $1.34 to $1.49 a gallon, typical for gas in California circa 1992.
3D Universe
- AMCo. Petroleum Company, with a filling station in Harwood, Portland Island.
- Going, with filling a station in Washington Beach, directly opposite the Washington Mall.
- Going , with a filling station in Idlewood, Los Santos.
- Gasso, with a filling station in Dillimore, Red County.
- Tosser, with a fuel pumps attached to The Welcome Pump Bar in Dillimore and a filling station located in Montgomery, Red County.
- Xoomer, with filling stations located across the State of San Andreas.
HD Universe
- Globe Oil, with filling stations located in Suffolk and Algonquin in Liberty City and a filling station in Tudor, Alderney City in the State of Alderney.
- RON, the largest petroleum refining and sales company in Liberty City, with filling stations located in every borough of Liberty City.
- Terroil, with a filling station located in Lancaster, Algonquin - Liberty City.
- Xero, factoies located in Alderney.
All featured stations from GTA IV return (minus those in Alderney, due to its absence), as well as several more which are more depots than stations. These can be used to play the molotov minigame, in which fuel is purchased then guided into bottles in order to produce Molotov Cocktails.

Seems like there was some confusion about this tournament earlier. As I said in my earlier post, it's not a prank, and I intend on running this tournament (in fact I've been collecting signups). At the rate I'm going, I should have this tournament up and running by it's scheduled time without a hitch as long as there aren't any other unnecessary interventions. So sign up, show up, and get your free point cards! Now back to business...
*Ahem* Not everyone can be brave. While we like to glorify those few courageous ones willing to challenge overwhelming adversity head on, we often forget the many who are incapable of such a feat (whether it be due to lack of skill, courage, conviction, etc.) This is a tournament for the rest, those who prefer not to stand their ground. Those who wish to avoid conflict, or who wish that problems can just go away instead of having to deal with them.
Without further ado, I present the tournament ban/Restrictions list that will make this tournament a coward's paradise:
All monosphere Refess cards are banned.
All monosphere Gowen cards, with the exception of grims and cards with the Faerie subtype (cause locking is cowardly), are banned.
Mermaid Observer, Wandering Bard, Crest Saboteur Knight, Mediator of Sun and Moon, Folrart Flame Swordsman, and Exiled Military Aide are all banned (No Moxy!)
Refugee Spearmaster/Aria is also banned.
Proxy of light/Limier and Proxy of Flame/Pullermia are exceptions and are allowed in this tournament.
SS can be composed of any card from any sphere (Acceptable because it's cowardly that these cards are too afraid to take the field).
If there are any cards you feel I should ban or unban, let me know!
The tournament will be held on 7 pm (EST time) on Feb 16, and will be a double elimination tournament with single elimination for the Finals. File switches between matches are allowed (Sticking with one file all throughout may require too much bravery for some). Camping is not a problem, in fact it's encouraged!
Tournament signup
Assistant Hosts:
1. LuciGhost
2. Aoyami
3. R3v3ngious
4. Karthik
1. Hexagram
And just to clarify before I get a lot of flak (again): it's a joke. I play all spheres pretty much equally, it's all in good fun. I do plan on running this tournament, I just felt it would be a funny theme.
*Copypasta cause I'm too afraid to come up with something new*

TCHRD releases 2012 Annual Report on Human Rights Situation in Tibet
Saturday, February 02 2013 @ 02:32 pm GMT
In the year 2012, the human rights situation in Tibet hit a new low even as Tibet remained closed to independent media, UN monitors, international fact-finding delegations or visitors. The Chinese government effectively blocked communication channels and prevented information about human rights abuses from going out of Tibet. Despite heavy surveillance and restrictions, individual Tibetans continued to let the world know about the real situation in Tibet often at great personal risk. As the UN Special Rapporteur on Right to Food told the Human Rights Council session in March 2012: "We know that regularly the communication systems: Internet, the phones, SMS's are blocked and Tibet is completely closed to independent observers, including the media."

So I was thinking that summer time is almost here. That's when all the kids decide they have more time to spend on games/return to games. Personally I don't mind if there's a slight delay in additional features if alteil can do some kind of publicity stunt that will pull in a lot more players first. Then each additional feature will result in a greater gain for the expanded player base. Just a thought...no point in auctioning a bunch of cards and building those pwnage files just to (noob stomp?) the same group of players over and over again until match making stops pairing you with anyone at all.
But I do enjoy this current community

A new ban on panhandling will go into effect within the next two weeks in downtown Colorado Springs. Among the activities now banned: Salvation Army's Red Kettle campaign.
11 News talked to the Salvation Army to find out how much the new ban will impact their ability to fundraise during the holiday season. A spokesman told us that it will have an effect, but probably not as large as many people think.
He said only one bell ringing location will be affected. That's on the corner of Tejon and Pikes Peak.
He said not being able to collect downtown is a loss, but is optimistic that the panhandling ban will not significantly hurt their fundraising.
The El Paso County Salvation Army's Red Kettle campaign raised $68,000 last year and accounts for around 15 percent of the organization's income.

We know only too well about the extreme right wing, the ones who are actually running the Republican Party these days. And then there's the extreme left wing, the ones the extremists on the right wouldn't know if one bit 'em on the ass because they're too busy thinking Barack Obama is a progressive.
But there are another group of extremists we rarely mention. I'm talking about the radical middle, those extremist moderates who like to point on either side of their political ideology and harumph a lot.
Now, there are some moderates who are truly moderate moderates, not extreme at all. But let's just get this out of the way right here and right now — they're not the ones I'm talking about.
You know who I mean. The ones who think fans of Glenn Beck and "tree-huggers" are the same, just on different sides of the ideological divide. They're champions of the "both sides do it" meme And they love to be all superior about it. But I gotta tell ya, they're just as damaging as any of the other extremists.
Maybe I'm biased here … ok, I'm definitely biased … but I don't see the logic in thinking that people who advocated armed rebellion against a president they don't like and people think we ought not destroy the planet that keeps us alive are some kind of moral equivalent. There's just no there there.
My colleagues do it all the time, because they think it makes them "balanced." Riiiiiiggghhht. Balanced, like a pound of feathers and a pound of radioactive material are really the same thing. Balance in journalism isn't an equation. Balance is digging into your story, getting all sides — because really, there's never only two — and then writing a story that tells the truth. But that's just too damned hard anymore. My beloved colleagues don't have time to do that with all the fancy dinners with the president and make-up sessions for the Sunday network talkies and the 24-7 cable gabfests.
Maybe the extremist middle got that way because of what they see on the tube. I don't pretend to know how it happened, but I do know that it's a dangerous place. It's the reason the meteoric rise in right-wing violence in this country barely gets a mention on the news, and when it does, it's just some "lone wolf" or "isolated incident." Calling it that means you don't have to do the work to find out what's really going on, although, truth be told, the work's already been done by people like the Southern Poverty Law Center, who, by the way, get labeled a "liberal" group and therefor can't be trusted as a source. Unlike, say, the conservative Heritage Foundation or the American Enterprise Institute, who are regularly treated as if they have some special knowledge and understanding of our country that makes them better than, say, the Center for American Progress, that radical leftist communist group.
It's also a reflection of just how far right our political spectrum has gone. Now here's the thing — the country, the people, they haven't gone that far right.
So, Nunzia, you say, if that's the case, how do we keep getting stuck with all these right-wing crazies in office? Well, my friends, it's partly because of redistricting and partly because my colleagues feed the madness. Instead of talking about how, say, Michele Bachmann has a little problem understanding that the First Amendment protections for freedom of speech apply to everyone and not just who she likes, they spend days and days and days making weiner jokes or telling us about the trials and tribulations of former child stars who don't get it that they are not queens of the universe.
We, the People, as Dave Johnson calls us, are being fed a load of bullshit, and unfortunately, some of us aren't up to the task of sorting through it to find out what the real score is.
My colleagues treat Paul Ryan's budget plan, for example, as if it's just another plan to try to eliminate debt, different from the Democratic plan. I'll say it is. It's just another way to gut government and stick it to the poor, plain and simple. But they won't say that. They'll say that Democrats say it is and Republicans say it isn't, except that's not what Republicans say. Republicans, in fact, won't answer that question.
And what my colleagues won't do is question the very idea that the deficit is the problem. The problem they don't seem to see (and no wonder, living in WonderWashington as they do) is fucking jobs. There aren't any. Republicans said they'd work on jobs when they got into office this last time, but they've done absolutely nothing. Instead, they started in on social hot button issues like same sex marriage and abortion. But my colleagues don't mention that either. They have no institutional memory of what was said or done last week, much less during a campaign a year ago, unless someone brings it up — and Democrats notoriously won't do that.
And so the radical middle stays there, swearing both sides are as bad as the other and if they'd only come together and stop the bickering everything would be just fine. Can't we all just get along? Well, in my book, it's damned hard to get along with somebody who's entire being is centered making sure the rich get richer and everybody else just shuts the fuck up and takes what scraps they can dig out of garbage bins.
But to the extremists in the middle, it's all just partisan noise, amplified to ear-splitting distortion by my clueless colleagues.
Can't we all just get along? Sure we can. Just as soon as we drop the feudal nonsense and start realizing that we humans really are all in this together. Hear that, radical moderates? I regularly hug trees, and I will gladly work with all of the other sides in this world, but there are some ground rules — no discussion about anything can go anywhere without some agreement on where we're starting and where we're going. And that, my friends, is precisely why debate in Washington is useless.
Conservatives think everything is hunky dory if it weren't for those filthy liberals screwing with everything that makes this country great. Progressives think that we're in a heap of trouble and it's just gonna get worse if we don't do something real about it. See? There's not one iota of agreement in where we are. And if we don't know where we are, there's no way in hell we can figure out where we're going.

Female veterans are the fastest growing segment of VA Health Care system users. But in Maine, only 20 percent of female veterans actually use the system. The American Legion is visiting 15 states to assess the overall quality of female veteran health care through its "System Worth Saving Task Force." The legion held a town hall meeting yesterday in Augusta, after a visit to the Togus VA Medical Center. Patty Wight was there.
In recent years, health care for female veterans has been a problem for the VA, which has fielded complaints from across the country that the system has failed to provide gender-specific services and adequate privacy during exams. So, the biggest surprises at Wednesday's town hall meeting in Augusta was the common sentiment that women's VA health care in Maine is actually...pretty good.
"Much to my own surprise, I'm actually going to the VA for my gender-specific care," said Terry Moore, an Air Force veteran and the past chair of the Maine Female Veteran's Commission. "And if someone had asked me two years ago if I'd be going to the VA for my gender-specific care, the answer would be 'no.'"
Up until the Togus VA Medical Center hired a gynecological surgeon last year, many women vets had to travel two to three hours to Boston for a 30-minute gynecological procedure. And there are still some gaps in the system.
"It's a little aggravating, and I think we really need to look at specialty care," said Brenda Dearborn, who served in the Air Force, and says she's generally happy with her care at Togus. But Dearborn says she has had to travel to Boston a number of times for specialty services.
Terry Moore, the Air Force vet who does outreach, says travel is even a hardship in Maine. She's heard from female veterans in Caribou who have to travel south to Augusta for specialty care.
"And it's a four-hour drive to Togus," Moore said. "And the reason they're coming to Togus is to get an osteoperosis test, which again is a 15-minute test, well guess what? That's not the right answer."
The VA, like all health care providers in Maine, faces challenges in providing access to health care and attracting specialists. But the VA is also trying to encourage more women vets to use the system.
Jim Pineau, staff representative for Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, says many women don't realize they can use VA health care.
"Because of the military culture and because of the history of the military, a lot of women veterans don't recognize themselves as veterans," Pineau said. "Whether you have to be a combat vet, or a woman who served during World War II, she might not think she's a veteran when she is."
Pineau and others suggest that more outreach is needed to target those female veterans and bring them into the system. The American Legion will issue a report to the White House and Congress based on its findings in Maine and other states.

Conflicting reports are coming out (including some very irresponsible 'journalism' quoting Peter King as twitting something he hasn't), but we know this - Ron Rivera will get a 2nd interview.
There aren't rumors about Ryan or Manusky, but Perry Fewell has been rumored to not be asked back. It's hard to say how accurate that is - it suggested Fewell won't get a 2nd look in Denver either, and it came around while Fewell was still interviewing with Denver.
As well, it looks like Brian Schottenheimer isn't a candidate. It didn't mention whether the team was unwilling to wait, or unimpressed. Hopefully, they were unimpressed.
So, absent of another candidate, Rivera may be the guy. And given that one candidate has made it to round 2, hard to believe too many coaches are left to start round 1.
For reference, John Fox received a second interview after a reported 5 interviews in the first round of 2002 interviews - he was announced the next day as the 3rd head coach of the Carolina Panthers. There's no date for Rivera's 2nd interview, but it's worth betting that there's a press conference to follow.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Friday, Sept. 14, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- PetSmart Charities donated nearly $100,000 worth of supplies to help the homeless pets, and a lot of those dollars came from pet lovers like you.
If you've been to PetSmart, you've probably been asked at checkout if you'd like to donate to help homeless pets. It's a national charity, but a lot of those dollars are being put to good use right here in our own area.
"The leashes, food, collars,crates, puppy pads, water bowls, enrichment toys, everything's been donated by PetSmart Charities, and we really couldn't have done this without them," said Kim Kelly, the South Carolina director of the Humane Society of the U.S.
Nearly 300 pets are living in a temporary warehouse while courts process an animal cruelty case regarding a possible puppy mill, but it takes a lot of supplies to take care of that many animals.
"The first thing that came to my mind is, 'What can we do to help?'" said Kim Cavros, PetSmart manager.
PetSmart Charities donated $90,000 worth of supplies, even sending volunteers to help set up the temporary shelter for the homeless pets.
Terrence Hutcherson, a PetSmart shopper, says, "I think that it's pretty cool that they're doing something for the community rather than just for the business itself."
Hutcherson just got a new dog, and he's been shopping at PetSmart for supplies, but he never knew where the "donations to help homeless pets" really went.
"It helps out pets that are in need in different situations, for instance the tornado victims a few years back," Carvos said.
"I think everybody in line is more willing to donate now that they know that their dollar is actually going to something significant," Hutcherson said.
And these rescued pets aren't the only ones in our area benefiting from your donations.
Gary Willoughby, director of the Aiken SPCA, says, "PetSmart Charities is working with us on some grants to pay for all of the equipment."
They'll be donating thousands of dollars to the Aiken SPCA to help spay and neuter thousands of animals.

Play starts on May 19.
"Katie Pfost was on her 'A' game yesterday for both hitting and pitching," said Coach Lynn. "She has been good for the league and the college."
"Yesterday was one of the gutsiest efforts I have ever seen from a team," said Vol State Athletic Director Bobby Hudson.
"We're so proud of our softball players and coaches. To have three games in one day and come out as Region Seven champions is a great accomplishment," Vol State President Dr. Warren Nichols said. "We'll be cheering on the team as they head to the national championship. Go Pioneers!"

Arizona State's 2006 season is complete and it's time to take a look at which players had the most impact on the team. Find out who won our Most Valuable Player Award, as well as more than a dozen other awards, along with a complete breakdown in this in-depth review at some of the great individual Sun Devil performances.Team/Offensive MVP: Ryan TorainA 6-foot, 216 pound transfer from Butler C.C. in Kansas, Torain became the first Sun Devil rusher to carry the ball for over 1,000 yards in a season since Delvon Flowers accomplished the feat in 2001. Torain played in all 13 of the team's games and finished the season with 1,229 yards (third in the Pac-10) rushing on 223 attempts (5.5 yards per carry) with seven rushing touchdowns. He also finished third on the team with 18 receptions totaling 205 yards and three more touchdowns. Runner up: Zach MillerThe consensus All-American junior tight end is no doubt the team's top overall pro prospect and he is legitimately a toss-up candidate for team MVP with Torain. Miller had 50 catches on the season for 484 yards and four touchdowns. The next closest ASU receiver had 20 catches. Defense MVP: Josh BarrettBarrett, a junior, led the team in tackles with 82 from his strong safety position. That is 14 more than the next closest player and more than twice as many as the 37 Barrett had in 2005 when he started two games and played in all 12. The 6-foot-2, 227-pounder is perhaps the fastest player on the roster, and he is beginning to produce on a level that matches his almost limitless potential. Runner up: Zach CataneseThe senior safety was the leading returning tackler in the Pac-10 in 2006, but a much more balanced offense reduced ASU's dependence on him and he dropped from over 100 tackles, to 68. But the true value of Catanese can't be expressed just in terms of statistics. With a number of true freshmen playing alongside or in front of him, his role as mentor was one he filled extremely well. Offensive newcomer award (non frosh): TorainDefensive newcomer award (non frosh): Justin TryonThis 5-foot-9, 182-pounder arrived at Arizona State in the spring and almost immediately became the team's top cornerback. Though his performance was by no means flawless over the course of the full year, he had perhaps the best overall initial season of any ASU cornerback in recent memory. Tryon finished fourth on the team in tackles, led the team with seven pass breakups, and tied for the team lead with two fumble recoveries. Most valuable freshman on offense (includes redshirts): no award givenIf we were forced to give an award, it would likely go to one of several wide receivers who should signs of being potentially impacting in the future. None, however, provided enough of a case of the course of a season to stand out to the point where we'd feel comfortable giving an award. Even so, we feel that Chris McGaha, Brandon Smith and Kyle Williams all have a lot of natural talent and the ability to become key components of the ASU offense moving forward. Running back Dimitri Nance no doubt would have been in the mix for the award as well, if he was not a third or fourth team player due to the talent ahead of him. Most valuable freshman defense (includes redshirts): Dexter Davis This redshirt freshman defensive end earned an opening game start due in part to injuries other players had in front of him. He never relinquished the position and had one of the most impressive seasons of any player on the team relative to expectations. Davis finished fifth on the team with 40 total tackles, including a team-leading 10.5 for loss. He also led the team with six sacks and two quarterback hurries. Runner Up: Ryan McFoyThe 6-foot-1 194-pounder is one of several true freshmen to make a significant impact within weeks of arriving on camps during the summer. McFoy was the first-team nickel back and he had 34 tackles, two interceptions, and generally displayed a degree of maturity and poise rarely seen in true freshmen. He'll stand a good chance of filling a starting spot on a full time basis next season. Most improved on offense: Paul FanaikaThis former walk-on offensive guard reportedly struggled to perform a single push up upon joining the program. By the end of the season, Fanaika was one of the team's top interior linemen and he played with a streak of aggressive almost unmatched by his peers. The Levi Jones scholarship recipient will only be a junior next season. Runner Up:Nate KimbroughKimbrough was rapidly separating himself from the pack at the team's top wide receiver before he was hurt two-thirds of the way into the season, with an ACL tear. The sophomore had 15 receptions for 235 yards and one touchdown before he was injured. Most improved on defense: Beau ManataiAfter Dale Robinson departed, all eyes where on Manutai at the MIKE linebacker spot and he delivered a terrific season that helped the Sun Devil defense get much-improved over 2005. In a role that was well crafted for him by coordinator Bill Miller, Manutai demonstrated that he's terrific against the run and he plays with great poise and leadership ability. He will certainly be missed next season. Runner Up: Derron WareWare made very little impact in his first season of action in 2005 but a position move and an additional year to build his body and mind gave him newfound confidence, and he improved greatly. Though he wasn't able to sustain his remarkable start to the season, he was certainly significantly improved and deserves credit for his achievement. Best Offensive Lineman: Mike PollakOffensive linemen rarely get the credit they deserve and that is certainly the case with Pollak. The 6-foot-4 junior center held together a line that had numerous serious injuries alter its look for the second season in a row, and helped allow Torain to rush for over 1,000 yards, and Keegan Herring rush for over 500 yards. It was a tremendous season and he was worth of all-league consideration. Best Receiver/Tight End: Zach MillerBest Running Back: TorainBest Defensive Line: Michael MarquardtWhile he didn't have as obviously impressive stats as Davis (defensive tackles often don't compared to ends), Marquardt was the key centerpiece of the team's defensive line. He finished third on the team in tackles for loss and sacks and met or exceeded expectations that were high after a great season on the scout team post-transfer from BYU. Best Linebacker: ManataiBest Defensive Back: BarrettSpecial Teams MVP: Jesse AinsworthThe senior kicker made all 42 of his PAT attempts and 14 of 19 field goals. He won Pac-10 Special Teams Player of the Week after one particularly good game. He was one of the best at kick-offs in the nation. Team Spirit Award: (tie) Preston Jones and Tyrice ThompsonBoth players personify what it means to be a Sun Devil. They compete hard every single day, even when it appears as though they are unlikely to get playing time. They are great teammates, well-likely, very positive, and they don't get into off-field trouble. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Troopers identified the 30-year-old man killed in a car crash in Wilson Thursday morning.
Trooper Charles Purvis, out of the Wilson County Highway Patrol Office says, Craig Gause was traveling on Elm City Road in Wilson just after 1:00am, when he crashed into a utility pole.
Gause, who is from Wilson, died on the scene according to Purvis.
Purvis says, Gause was driving a 2008 Kia above the posted speed limit of 65 miles per hour, veered off to the left, back onto the roadway, and again off to the right where he hit a utility pole.
Trooper Purvis says speed is the contributing factor in this accident.
Troopers said a 30-year-old man died on a Wilson road early Thursday morning.
Trooper C. Purvis told WITN around 1:12 a.m., he got the call to Elm City Road in Wilson.
Trpr. Purvis said the name of the victim is not yet being released.
Investigators said the man was driving faster than the 65 miles per hour posted on the road when he veered off to the left, back onto the roadway, and again off to the right where he hit a utility pole.
Troopers said the driver died on the scene.
Trpr. Purivs said at this point, he does not believe alcohol was a factor, but speed may have been a factor in the fatal wreck.
The investigation continues.

WASHINGTON – A tractor-trailer carrying about 7,000 gallons of diesel fuel overturned Thursday on the Dulles Greenway, causing police to shut down the toll road.
The accident occurred around 5:30 a.m. near Shreve Mill Road, south of Leesburg, and the closures occurred between Shreve Mill Road and Belmont Ridge Road.
The eastbound lanes of the roadway reopened shortly before 6:30 a.m., and the left westbound lane opened about 8:20 a.m.
Crews safely transferred the fuel into another tanker truck before they removed the wreckage. The westbound lanes reopened around 2 p.m.
The driver, a 52-year-old man from Strasburg, Va., was taken to a hospital with serious, but non-life- threatening injuries. Charges are pending at this time.
On Wednesday, the driver of a tractor-trailer was killed when the truck he was driving overturned near Interstate 95 and the Fairfax County Parkway.
That accident led to hours of delays for commuters on northbound I-95 in northern Virginia.

I read that you have to prune red currant bushes back after they have fruited.
How much do i take off.
Any advice is welcome =)
Also do i have to do the same with gooseberry bushes?
hi there,
Redcurrents and gooseberries fruit on old growth, so newq growth this year will bear fruit next year. I cut mine back to the size I want it, So I take about half of mine off. taking out any crossin branches and cutting out the one growing into the middle, the reason for this is air flow and to let sunlight in to ripen the fruit. The idea being is to get it into a bowl shape. Cut out dead wood too. I hope this makes sense?
Kind regards Julie
Whoops forgot to say, I summer prune to keep in from getting to big and then I winter prune, when the leaves have fallen and do the major work.
Hope this helps
This should explain it clearly http://www.rhs.org.uk/Gardening/Grow-Your-Own/Fruit-A-to-Z/Red---white-currants
Thank you .
Should i do the same with my gooseberry bushes?
I wached the video, it was very good. Did you see the bowl shape on the top part? It was also done in winter. If your plants are in the ground and planted as a regular bush you prune it the same way, the goosberries too, again the fruit grows on old wood.
Good luck

Mainstreaming Gender in Climate talks
Background: For many years, there has been an assumption that the negative impacts of climate change and the efforts to mitigate them have similar effects on both men and women. However, the world has progressively recognized that women and men experience climate change differently, and that gender inequalities worsen women's coping capacity. It has also been acknowledged that women are important agents of change and holders of significant knowledge and skills related to mitigation, adaptation, and the reduction of risks in the face of climate change, making them crucial agents in this area. …

Shouldn't we add that the Sharingan requires two eyes to bring out their true potential as noted by madara in chapter 602 —This unsigned comment was made by 184.108.40.206 (talk • contribs) .
We don't know what was meant by that, either Susanoo/Rinnegan or something new--Elveonora (talk) 23:37, September 20, 2012 (UTC)
If the Sharingan requires two eyes to bring out their true potential does that mean that if obito had his other sharingan he'd have the same abilities he does now expect he would be to suck things in the other dimension without physical contact like kakashi's version of kamui and his own current kamui would be strengthened? --188.8.131.52 (talk) 17:54, October 12, 2012 (UTC)

Discussing the topic of an article just for the sake of discussion is considered forum talk. Topic is meant to be discussed only as far as needed to determine how to list the information. If Sharingan does X, we simply say it does, and unless that goes against anything previously established, in which case discussion should be restricted in pointing that out in the article, no point in discussing why it does X.

The only instance that we know this could refer to would be "a 3rd power" an example of this being Amaterasu/Tsukuyomi requirement for Susanoo use. Simply A Mangekyou tech. in left along with B Mangekyou tech. in right in order to use "C" with both. But since we don't know if this is what was referred for, it's soon to conclude as such--Elveonora (talk) 23:25, October 12, 2012 (UTC)
Copy Kekkei Genkai
it should be noted the Sharingan can decipher kekkei genkai techniques if the user has the kekkei genkai in question, Madara can use all of the first's jutsu because of his first hand experience reading the techniques after his reincarnation because of this. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 07:52, November 9, 2012 (UTC)
Hey Cerez, this one might actually have a point. It's noted the Sharingan can't duplicate bloodline abilities, but at the same time, It doesn't seem like it can copy any technique the user can't perform. For example, Sasuke's sharingan copied Shadow of the Dancing Leaf from Lee, but he himself didn't possess the speed to duplicate Lee's other moves until he trained for the 3rd stage of the Chuunin exam. In this case, Madara didn't have the ability to perform wood release when he was alive, but when revived he duplicated abilities of Hashirama's he couldn't have seen less than 50 years ago. If phrased properly, I think it's worth noting that if in possession of the capacity to perform a bloodline, the Sharingan can duplicate it. --Hawkeye2701 (talk) 16:35, November 9, 2012 (UTC)
- I never said the person is wrong. I said it was speculation beyond the point of necessity. We do not know how the Sharingan functions with regards to kekkei genkai whether or not it can decipher them but it's because they don't have the capability to do it that they can't reproduce it or Madara simply remembered Hashirama's techniques and then practised them etc. When Madara transplanted Hashirama's DNA into his wounds he noted that nothing happened with regards to the Rinnegan, he never said anything about Wood Release.--Cerez365™(talk) 17:13, November 9, 2012 (UTC)
Does it really require the person that gives the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan to be a sibling or someone of close relation? Kakashi got his sharingan, though not in Mangekyo form, and has had no side effects in his vision. It seems like you just have to get another eye, not one related to you. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 03:15, February 4, 2013 (UTC)Adam
I don't fully understand what you are trying to say... but Kakashi doesnot have Eternal Magekyo Sharingan.~ UltimateSupreme 03:20, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Kakashi has shown signs of debilitating sight it's just that he does not use the MS nearly as much as an Uchiha does. And so far we've only seen a sibling transfer their eyes to another. Along with what Itachi said to Sasuke during their battle, that's the only basis we have to go on.--Cerez365™(talk) 14:50, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
Not to mention each MS technique puts a different amount of strain on an eye--Elveonora (talk) 17:01, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

K-JAH Radio is a radio station in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, which plays reggae music with Jamaican influences. The station is hosted by Horace "The Pacifier" Walsh circa 2001 in GTA III, and Natalie Walsh Davis circa 1998 in GTA Liberty City Stories.
The GTA III version of the station talks about "dope", in other words, drugs. This could be SPANK, the drug that Catalina and her Cartel supply to the Uptown Yardies to sell on the streets. It is also one of the few stations not owned by "Love Media", the fictional corporation owned by Donald Love, as can be seen from Horace's line "We have no love for Donald Love, man."
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, another K-JAH station, K-JAH West, appears, although there is a link between the two because the DJ states, "...from Liberty City to San Andreas". Also in Liberty City Stories there is another link between the two stations as well, the DJ says, this goes out to my friends on the west coast which also connects the two stations together.
- Scientist - "Dance of the Vampires"
- Scientist - "Your Teeth In My Neck"
- Scientist - "The Corpse Rises"
- Scientist - "The Mummy's Shroud"
- Scientist - "Plague of Zombies"
- GTA Liberty City Stories
- Selah Collins - "Pick A Sound"
- Errol Berrot - "What A Wonderful Feeling"
- Kenny Knots - "Watch How The People Dancing"
- Richie Davis - "Lean Boot"
- Peter Rouncer - "Ready For The Dancehall Tonight"
- Richie Davis - "You Ha Fe Cool"
- Kenny Knots - "Ring My Number"
- Kenny Knots - "Run Come, Call Me"
- In Grand Theft Auto Advance, despite the lack of changeable radio stations, the K-JAH logo can be seen on a building in Bedford Point next to the Ammu-Nation, along with the slogan "Reggae to rock".
- In GTA III, when switching through stations, it only says JAH Radio. Despite this, the radio DJ will still say "You're listenin' to K-JAH Radio."
- This is the favorite radio station of the Uptown Yardies.

The war of words over Medicaid expansion is escalating in Augusta. In his weekly radio address, Gov. Paul LePage called Democratic leaders in the Legislature "liberal elitists" for insisting that the state take federal money to expand Medicaid coverage, in exhange for repaying half-a-billion dollars owed to Maine hospitals. Democrats say offering Medicaid to more Mainers under the Affordable Care Act will save the state money over the next decade. LePage, though, calls it a massive expansion of welfare, and says Democrats aren't serious about repaying the hospitals. Jay Field has more.
Gov. LePage records his radio address on Friday. It's usually embargoed - that means it isn't released publicly until Saturday morning. Sometimes, though, the governor wants to get his message out sooner than that. This was one of those weeks.
"Folks, I am a Franco-American," he says in the address.
Franco-Americans, LePage noted, are frugal people. They don't spend money they don't have.
"A couple of very liberal elitists in Augusta don't live by that same code," he says. "They believe that government will always provide enough money to pay for whatever programs they want - no matter how expensive they are or how much they burden Mainers."
Months ago, the governor made repaying half-a-billion dollars to Maine's 39 hospitals a top priority. LePage wants to use a revenue bond - financed by the state's future liquor profits - to pay off the debt. The proposal, he says, enjoys bipartisan support, but has hit a roadblock.
"The hold-up comes from just two people: Senate President Justin Alfond and Speaker of the House Mark Eaves," he says. "They are the Democratic leadership. And they are doing everything they can to prevent paying the hospitals."
"We are fully committed to making sure we pay the hospitals, so the governor has it wrong on this one," Eves says.
But Eves and other Democratric leaders say it would be irresponsible to pay off the debt without also addressing the one of the biggest cost drivers in the system: the free care that uninsured, low-income patients get when they show up at the hospital.
Maine, says Eves, can help ease this burden by expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act. During the first three years of the law, the federal govenment is offering to pay 100 percent of the cost for newly-eligible Medicaid recipients.
"Over the course of 10 years, Maine is going to save $690 million," he says. "We are one of 10 states that are going to see our Medicaid expenditures go down over 10 years, not go up."
So Eves, Alfond and other Democratic leaders are offering LePage a deal: Agree to the Medicaid expansion and we'll sign on to the hospital repayment. In his radio address, the governor was having none of it. "Folks, let's call it what it is: Medicaid expansion is welfare expansion."
But Eves says that analogy doesn't hold water. Conservative Republican governors in several states, he notes, have already signed on to such an expansion.
"Democrats are committed to making sure we take advantage of this opportunity. It's the right thing to do to provide health care so people can go see a doctor, and it's the right thing to do fiscally, when you look at the numbers," Eves says. "And we need to get the job done."
The back and forth between LePage, Eves and other Democratic leaders will likely only intensify, as the legislative session heads towards its conclsuion in June.

- "A superfast luxury tourer in the European tradition, the F620 looks and feels as good on the open road as it does illegally parked outside known paparazzi haunts."
- ―TBoGT Official website.
The Ocelot F620 is a two door grand tourer featured in The Ballad of Gay Tony and Grand Theft Auto V.
The F620 is largely based on the Maserati GranTurismo due to its greenhouse area,front and sides(except the vents) with the headlights of a Maserati QuattroPorte, featuring the front fascia and overall body shape of a Maserati GranTurismo, the rear fascia of a second generation Jaguar XK. The F620 is additionally similar in appearance to the Super GT, and as they both share design cues from the GranTurismo; the F620 also shares the Super GT's interior, including sport seats finished in black leather, aluminum-finished center console and timepiece, and also the Super GT 6-speed gated shifter. The side vents of the F620 are also similar to those of the Mercedes SLR McLaren.
Although the car lacks any badging, billboards in Star Junction suggest that its manufacturer is Ocelot, which seems to be the GTA rendition of Jaguar, since both names are species of cat. As a nod to Jaguar, the F620 can be painted in a dark non-metallic green, or "British Racing Green".
PerformanceThe engine of the F620 is a 6.0L Turbo V10 that is incorrectly modeled in the game as a Turbo Inline-4. This is apparent by the high RPM range and power delivery from the engine.
The F620 occasionally backfires excess fuel when shifting through its six gears, a trait shared by the Infernus, Banshee, Buffalo, Sultan RS and Bullet GT. This grand tourer possesses a top speed of 204 mph (328 km/h) and accelerates from 0-60mph in 6.5 seconds. The F620 is prone to oversteer, much like its sister car, the Super GT, although its steering feels lighter and more responsive. The suspension is low and quite firm, and the braking is very good, with ABS as standard. The car accelerates rapidly, and has overall straight-line performance similar to that of the Super GT, Turismo, Infernus, and other supercars.

Mission appearances
The Ballad of Gay Tony
Grand Theft Auto V
- Seen chasing a Cheetah in a unnamed mission.
Notable owners
- Daisie Cash-Cooze owns a unique bright red F620, as seen and used in her random encounter. It is possible to keep her car after completing the mission.
- While the badge on the steering wheel is that of Dewbauchee, billboards say that the F620 is made by Ocelot. This is probably because Rockstar used the Super GT's interior for the F620.
- Although the car quite comprehensively feels, sounds and revs like it has a V10 engine, there is actually an inaccurately modeled Turbo Inline-4 under the bonnet, this information has been backed up by a Rockstar devoloper.
- When driving the F620 while being chased by the police, the police scanner will refer the F620 as a Dewbauchee brand car instead of an Ocelot brand car.
- The default radio stations for the F620 are:
- The Ballad of Gay Tony: Electro-Choc or Radio Broker.
- After the mission This Ain't Checkers, the player will be able to call Henrique for an F620.
- In Grand Theft Auto V, The F620 has been updated so that it now has red brake calipers instead of the orange calipers found on the F620 in its original form.
The Ballad of Gay Tony
- Practically uncommon unless the player drives one.
- Sometimes spawns around Star Junction in multiplayer.
Grand Theft Auto V
- Can be bought, but it is unknown how much it would cost.

The Homeland Security Department has awarded a University of Alabama-Birmingham researcher $583,000 to develop a system for that could be used to track people through their cell phones and mobile devices.
With little fanfare, the university announced the grant to Professor Raghib Hasan from Homeland's Science and Technology Directorate earlier this month, saying the money will be used to build a "system for verifying the location history and chorological track of cell phones and smart phones, tablets, and other mobile devices."
The school explained how the technology being developed could use decentralized monitoring to verify a person's whereabouts without running afoul of current privacy laws and requirements.
"Mobile devices can also be tracked from a centralized location, but this violates the user's privacy," the university explained. "A popular approach is to get a statement from location owners that the user was present, but existing systems for decentralized location tracking can be manipulated by malicious users who collude with location owners – much like a criminal with a fake alibi."
But Hasan's technology "collects location proofs in a distributed manner, not as a centralized tracking system. It prevents collusion by using a third-party witness, much like a real person would provide an alibi. However, instead of a Q&A session between people, this is a digital conversation that takes milliseconds," the school added.
"A challenge is sent to the mobile device in question to validate its physical presence. A third-party witness device belonging to another user present in the same location endorses the proof of presence. This information is then stored in the mobile device's provenance chronology to prove location history," the announcement said.
The grant comes as the U.S. government is engaged in a spreading war against persistent cyber attacks, especially from countries like China, that threaten American infrastructure. President Barack Obama last week issued an executive order instituting new policies and protections for addressing the cyber threat.
But the department is also facing growing questions about the implications of funding technologies that can be used to invade American privacy, such as drones for local law enforcement and other snooping devices.
The university said the new technology Hasan is developing could have wide and disparate uses. In fact, the Homeland grant includes funding research to prevent fraud in competitions and assuring consumers the origins of seafood they buy, the school said.
But Homeland's primary interest is in national security, and preventing people from spoofing their locations or forging their location history. Hassan, an award winning researcher and director of the UAB's SECuRE and Trustworthy Computing Lab, offered a specific example related to the military.
"The military has many areas that require a person to pass through several checkpoints, and this app we are building will prevent unauthorized people from gaining entrance to a secure location unless they have been through the proper checkpoints," Hasan explained.
Likewise, the technology could have applications to prevent concerns that recently surfaced at the government's premier nuclear weapons laboratory in Los Alamos, where officials replaced two Chinese-made network switches from its computer systems because of security concerns.
"What if someone introduces a device of an unknown origin and provenance to a network?" Hasan was quoted in the university announcement as asking. "Who knows what it contains, or who had access to the device. It could have malware embedded that contains a back door to allow hackers to get in and steal classified and dangerous intellectual material."
