NPCs Available for Marriage
Marriage Starter's Guide
- To get married, you'll first need the Amulet of Mara. While wearing this jewelry, you will unlock new dialogue options with certain NPCs.
- Buy the amulet from Maramal, sold for 200 coins. Maramal can be found in Riften, either in the Temple of Mara or in the Bee and Barb.
- The amulet can also be found in a chest at the beginning of Bleak Falls Barrow — a main quest.
- To get married, you must first speak with an NPC and talk to them about marriage. They might accept, or require a small quest to be completed. If your Speech skill is high, you can attempt to raise their disposition to you, or bribe them.
- If they do accept, speak to Maramal at the Temple of Mara to plan the wedding.
- A married NPC will move into whatever house you own and provide several benefits.
- Your spouse will cook one meal a day, which raises your health and stamina. Your spouse will also follow you as a companion if requested, defending you or attacking enemies on your orders. They will also carry some of your equipment for you.
- Spouses will sometimes give you gifts.
After you're married, you should probably be looking for a house to buy. You might also want to look into curing that whole werewolf thing. On second thought, you might want to cure that beforehand.

On Wednesday, we had a chance to catch up with offensive coordinators Bryan Harsin and Major Applewhite.^----------^Don't expect to see a whole lot of the offense during the spring game on Sunday. "We want to go out there and execute some of our base stuff, some of the stuff we want to hang our hat on," Harsin said."Want to see them execute the plays and have fun and do what we've seen in practice up to this point."We want to see them compete, have energy and have fun. And we want to see them execute at the highest level they can."Applewhite said even though fans won't see all the trick plays on Sunday, they are being worked on in practice."Unfortunately, in a spring game you don't show a whole bunch," Applewhite said. "So the fans may not see as much as they'd like. But I can promise you we are doing everything we can to give them an edge as far as scheme. "We've worked on a lot of stuff, and there's a lot of new wrinkles. I'm excited about the new stuff. The players are thrilled. The coaches are excited. That's not a comment on anything we've done in the past. This is about the present, and the guys are really excited. We're ready to roll."^----------^Harsin said adding a new trick play happens at the end of practice, when the players have shown they can grasp the bread and butter stuff."Those things are rewards for guys executing your base offense," Harsin said. "Once guys are out there executing the base offense, you're able to put in some wrinkles and have some fun."^---------^The players are grasping the offense to the point where they are starting to point out mistakes to their teammates."They are starting to point out when a guy is lined up wrong," Applewhite said. "They are taking ownership of the offense. When they are the ones doing the pointing out, and it's not the coaches, they are starting to grasp it."And April 4 to August 4 is critical for us in terms of these guys taking ownership of the team."Harsin said no position has more at stake during the summer than quarterback."We don't have enough time to spend with them," Harsin said. "And in order to take it to the next level at the QB position, they have got to be able to do quite a bit on their own. And I think they've done a nice job. I see those guys in there on their own watching tape, studying and talking to other players. "So they are doing those little things. Once we get through spring and they have a better concept of the entire system that will help them determine which play or part of the offense they need to be working on."When we get through with the spring, the players are going to have to continue to watch film, prepare, study, take notes, everything they've been doing up to this point. If they don't, then we're not going to make progress. "We want to be able to come out of spring ball and get into fall camp with those guys having the understanding of the details. And then just go in there and tweak it. And then add a little bit more because we haven't gotten in everything we need to. We're going to have to use some of fall camp to finish that out and then tighten it up."^----------^Major Applewhite said once Foswhitt Whittaker and Cody Johnson showed a grasp of the offense, he began giving more reps to Jeremy Hills, Traylon Shead and D.J. Monroe.And there's a good chance Texas will use different backs in different situations."We'd like to have a guy who can do it all, a guy who can run on third-and-1 and a guy who you can free release on a wheel route on first down," Applewhite said. "But we will use guys for certain situations. We are going to be smart with it."^----------^Applewhite said the running backs put the ball on the ground in the last scrimmage. But he's happy with the progress of his position group."I think we've done a good job in pass protection because we've been asked to do a few things that are new," Applewhite said. "I've just been excited watching them execute this offense. There's a lot of new space, loose air and some different creases. There's just some new looks. The defense is having to see a lot, and it's making them get out of position at times."^----------^Malcolm Williams is catching up on the time he missed at the beginning of spring ball."He's fit in nicely," Applewhite said. "He's got a great intensity about his work and he doesn't care if he catches one ball or 10 balls, he's going to go out there and block. So it's nice to have that kind of mentality back out on the field."^----------^Applewhite has some advice for the quarterbacks battling for the starting job."It's not style points, it's just running the offense," Applewhite said. "I've heard others tell a quarterback, we're going to give you the keys. We don't care how you drive, just get us from Point A to Point B. Those are the things we look for."The competition is intense. They are all studying and being students and diving into the new scheme. But it's also like being a golfer. Don't worry about the other guy, just master the course. If you're good enough after that 18, then so be it. But don't worry about the other guy."^----------^Dominique Jones continues to impress at tight end. He is one of four tight ends who were on the field in an offensive set Wednesday."The tight ends are excited because there's a lot of different personnel groupings they are involved in," Applewhite said. "We've had one, two, three and today we had four tight ends on the field at once. There's a lot of things keeping it fresh for them. We like it, too. We feel like it gives us an advantage." ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Nullarbor Plains xeric shrublands
Nullarbor Plain, South Australia Photograph by John Benoit
The Nullarbor Plains xeric shrublands comprises a land area of approximately 75,400 square miles, and spans portions of Western Australia and South Australia. This ecoregion is classified within the Deserts & Xeric Shrublands biome. The Nullarbor Plains are extremely level topographically, and manifest the largest single expanse of unbroken rock on Earth; moreover, this expanse of limestone is rich in notable karst formations.
This virtually treeless ecoregion of Australia is dominated by scrub of the family Chenopodiaceae. There are five threatened bird species in Nullabor Plains, along with two special status reptiles and one threatened mammal taxon. The geological formation and history of the Nullabor Plains are related to the speciation of multiple phylogenic lines in the high endemism temperate sclerophyllus regions to the east and west of the Nullabor.
A substantial fraction of this ecoregion is committed to the Nullarbor National Park, a protected area of some 578,000 hectares.
Location and general description
Biodiversity features
Vegetation in the ecoregion is dominated by low saltbush and bluebush scrub, with practically no tree species.
The fauna of the Nullarbor includes a considerable of taxa of crustaceans, spiders, and beetles adapted to the darkness of the Nullarbor Caves as well as the underground rivers and lakes that connect these cave habitats. There are a total of 301 recorded vertebrate species in the ecoregion.

Threatened avian species in the Nullarbor Plains include the Near Threatened Australian bustard (Ardeotis australis), the Near Threatened buff-breasted sandpiper (Tryngites subruficollis), the Vulnerable fairy tern (Sterna nereis), the Near Threatened grey falcon (Falco hypoleucos) and the Vulnerable malleefowl (Leipoa ocellata).
Special status reptiles in the ecoregion are: the Near Threatened Bardick snake (Echiopsis curta) and the Endangered woma (Aspidites ramsayi).
Special status mammals in the Nullarbor Plains ecoregion are represented by the Vulnerable plains mouse (Pseudomys australis)
Western Nullarbor Plain, Australia Photograph by Ludo Kuipers/OzOutback
The Nullarbor Plain was in much earlier geological time a shallow seabed, evinced by the presence of bryozoans, foraminifera, echinoids and red algae calcareous skeletal that comprise the limestone substrate. The region is also the location of Nullarbor limestone and it has a reputation as a significant karst region with Oligocene and Miocene cave formations.
The sequence within the limestone is comprised five formations: (1) the upper formation is the Nullarbor Limestone which dates to early middle Miocene; (2) the next layer is the paraconforming Mullamullang member which dates to about 5,000,000 years earlier; (3) Abrakurrie Limestone that was created in a central depression of the earlier formation; this member dating to late Oligocene to Early Miocene in age and does not extend to the perimeter of the plain; (4) two conforming formations; the late Eocene Toolinna Limestone lies on top of Wilsons Bluff Limestone which is mid to late Eocene in age; and (5) Toolinna Limestone, without covering the entire Nullarbor Plain, presents merely at the extreme east of the ecoregion alongside the Abrakurrie formation which lies in a depression.
Link of geological history to vicariance in lateral biomes
Flanking the Nullarbor plains are two disjunct temperate schlerophyllous biomes, each having very high plant endemism. It is probable that the emergence of the arid intervening Nullarbor was a causative factor in the major divergent speciation of these two temperate biomes. Fundamentally the calcareous limestone soils of the Nullarbor are an edaphic barrier to vegetative taxa of the flanking sclerophyll zones, which host plants that are generally highly adapted to the acidic siliceous soils of their biomes.
The [vicariance] engendered by geological history of the Nullabor Plains is strongly correlated with events circa 14 to 13 million years before present. (Crisp and Cook. 2007) Within the range of dating errors, this time interval correlates well with the known aridification event of circa 14 million years before present, as well as the inundation of the Eucla Basin (the name given to the prehistoric sea that covered the Nullabor Plains) circa 16 million years ago.
Furthermore, the date of 14 million years before present corresponds well to the known dating of the uplift of the essential limestone plateau, which has remained essentially exposed to the present time. This calcareaous zone thus forms an edaphic barrier to the predominant plant taxa of both temperate flanks to the Nullabor Plains, which biomes have a strong acidic siliceous soil affinity.
Current status
The conservation status of the Nullarbor Plains xeric shrublands is classified as Vulnerable; however, the ecoregion is note designated as a G200 ecoregion, meaning it has not been classed as a region deserving the highest priority of protection.
Source: Protected Planet
Types and severity of threats
Off road vehicles are an ongoing threat to the Nullarbor Plains. Overgrazing by domesticated livestock are presenting a significant threat to native vegetation. Furthermore, rabbit overpopulations threaten the stability of vegetative assemblages. Not only are the native plants at threat from both types of herbivory, but many birds and other wildlife dependent on the vegetative cover are also presented with increased risks. Additionally the introduction of alien species of weeds poses a threat to ecosystem stability.

Justification of ecoregion delineation
The Nullarbor Plains Xeric Shrubland includes the Nullarbor Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA), and is characterized by its unusual limestone substrate and uniform, treeless vegetation, mostly widespread saltbush and bluebush shrubs (Thackway and Cresswell. 1995).

A template is the type of Joomla! extension that changes the way your site looks. There are two types of templates: Front-end Templates and Back-end Templates.
Front-end Templates
Front-end templates change the way your site looks to average users. Most of the templates you use will be Front-end Templates. Two Front-end templates come preinstalled with Joomla!: rhuk_milkyway and beez.
Back-end Templates
Back-end Templates are much rarer than Frontend Templates. You will probably never need to change your Back-end Template. Back-end Templates allow you to change the way the administrator interface looks.
Where can I get new templates?
There are some wonderful templates that were made in the template contest. There are also many websites where both free and non-free Joomla! templates can be downloaded.

Rabies is a preventable disease of mammals most often transmitted through the bite
of a rabid animal. That is because rabid animals have the disease in their saliva
or drool. If rabies enters the body, it attacks the brain and spinal cord.
In North Carolina, raccoons are more likely to have rabies than any other animal.
However, cats, dogs, foxes, skunks, and farm animals can also get rabies. Even humans
can get rabies. Rabies kills if it is not prevented. Once signs of the disease appear
in an animal or a human, they usually die within 10 days. But you can get anti-rabies
shots to fight off the disease. Rabies shots need to be given as soon as possible
after a bite has occurred, before symptoms appear. The vaccination consists of a
series of six shots given over 30 days.

Can anybody tell me how Harry Potter movies escape any nominations? I find them so painfully boring, and the three main characters are just plain annoying. What's so bloody great about them that they're not in your mix??

For much the same reason Avatar didn't get any nominations last year, I'd gather. While there are those who hate said films with a passion, most of the masses felt the movies were great, and very far from being Razzie-worthy.

Whatever, little "guest" troll. No one is here to be cool. Besides, by this time in March (if not sooner), you're not even going to be posting here any more. And by spelling and grammar mistakes, I'm talking about the kind of messages that go like this:
"U pephole r jst gelous tat Kihstren ad Rboert r rcih an famuos!"
"what is with you people stop hating on twilight they are the greatest movies ever thats why they always win the mtv movie awards so that proves that youre wrong"
Those kind of messages will be showing up like gangbusters over the next month.

Thanks for answering cartman1337. Regardless of my own views, would you not agree that most of the masses feel Eclipse is great and very far from being Razzie-worthy? I just don't see the logic. It seems a bit hyprocritical that those movies were given a pass because of their success yet Eclipse was not. I think for some reason peoples views are very clouded when it comes to this franchise and just won't look at it objectively. I don't like that.

Alba definitely deserved nominations for Little Fockers and Valentines day and I know some say Machete was a satire or something and Alba wasn't supposed to be convincing - that doesn't mean that I wasn't distracted by how crazy it was for Alba to play an ICE agent. Ha ha very funny but the joke didn't last that long. TKIM is different though. And why Alba and not Hudson? Alba belongs in the category but not for TKIM and I can't find anyone who can say Alba was bad in that film even though she is not a good actress in general.

If "Eclipse" is the best of the 3 and the other 2 didn't win than neither should "Eclipse," unless the Razzies want to award the body of work versus an individual movie (a la LOTR: The Return of the King) and in that case they should really hold out for "Breaking Dawn." (That's right, the Twilight machine will churn out two more glorious vampire/shape shifter/human teenage angst love story films for your enjoyment and ridicule).
I completely agree with you about the screenplays and the quality of the inital books, or rather lack of quality. It still baffles me how Melissa Rosenberg can do so well for "Dexter," and completely blow chunks in her "Twilight" adaptations.
In any event, I think there are more deserving nominees and certainly winners for the Razzies than "Eclipse."

Solid list of nominees, my only complaint is Duh Sly Guy for Worst Director -- that's just plain stupid and an f**king waste of a nomination spot, hell the only reason it's name even kept popping up is 'cause HR kept pushing it throughout the year even though the majority of the forum, including other anti-Stallone guys, said it wasn't bad enough.
I guess that goes to show: Never underestimate a man in power with a grudge, as juvenile as it may be lol. Should've gone to Grown Ups or Skyline instead. Anyways, other than that, a very solid line up. Can't wait to see the results!

I won't waste time defending ECLIPSE since other users have done it. At least Stewart & Pattinson aren't up again for "Couple."
What's the point of "Worst Ensemble" if the SEX & THE CITY 2 actresses still are nominated together?!
Is THE BOUNTY HUNTER the first movie to be nominated for "Picture" but not for "Director" nor "Screenplay"?
I think I agree with THE EXPENDABLES being up for "Director," since it could've been better with a better director handling things.
Thank you!
That tends to happen with box office flops.
What do you think will happen tomorrow with the Oscars? The same. Early word of mouth and buzz always ruins the surprises.

I looked over the nods and...
1. Does Twilight: Eclipse deserve this much Razzing? Critics have it at 50% on RT, so many others are below that. It seems that the Twi-hard fans are more deserving of the Razzing than this movie.
2. Jonah Hex should have more nominations. It seemed like an early front-runner, but now only has 2 nods. I think this should have more of the nods (along with Fartbender), while Eclipse gets a special award for Most Annoying Fan Producing Movie.
3. I'm glad Eclipse didn't take too much away from the Vampires Suck nods.
4. I don't see as many "should have beens" this time around (last year, Miss March, Draggin Ball Evolution, and Street Fighter: Chun Li had a combined ONE nomination (Hefner in MM), though there are still a few movies from this list that needed more attention.

Hey Berrynoia. Maybe the Eclipse fans wouldn't be so annoying if you didnt antagonise them. You can not expect to mock and pick on people and on something they love without reprecussions. You can not complain when they stand up for themselves especially since you started it.
If you find them so bad perhaps it would be a good idea not to push their buttons and pick on their opinions and feelings. Then they wouldnt bother you because I can gaurantee they wouldnt be here. Something to think about maybe??

Eclipse was pretty bad but to be honest it wasn't THAT bad. New Moon was by far worse than Eclipse and tbh Eclipse is probably the best in the trilogy.
I wasn't expecting a Worst Picture and Worst Director nod until Breaking Dawn Part I where in Part I the fans are simply looking forward to a wedding and a birth scene.
But back to this year, I do think the acting nods for the guys are worth it, Stewart is a range-less actress but there was worse performances. I'm still gathering from the shock that movie's like Skyline and Elm Street weren't nominated for anything!

PS. Just to finish off with what I was saying to Berrynoia. 50% on RT is actually pretty darn good. Many, many more movies have alot worse than that. Also the top critics actually gave Eclipse 67% on RT and they are the ones that should really be counted as they are deemed the professionals. Its kind of making a laughing stock of the razzies, no credibility whatsoever!

Associated Press Release
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) -- Police in Athens have arrested a 14-year-old girl for allegedly threatening to stab her brother over a bag of Cheetos.
The Athens Banner-Herald reports the unidentified girl Tuesday told police she has "anger issues." Police say the fight broke out when the boy tried getting some of the chips out of the bag. When the girl pushed her brother away it caused the bag to split -- spilling the powdered, puffed corn snacks to the floor.
Police say the girl's mother took the knife from her and subdued her until police arrived. She was charged with simple battery and is in the custody of sheriff's deputies.
Last week, Athens police arrested a 14-year-old girl who threatened to light her family's apartment on fire over a missing can of soda.

Why always play songs like Mota only in Brazil?
...A Millon Miles Away in England?
...something new or rare in Japan o Canada?
I ask this because when they play in Argentina, play 16 fixed songs plus 4 or 5 of the new album ...
I hope to have the opportunity to see them play songs like Millon Miles Away, The Meaning of Life, Mota, Genocide o Burn it Up in my country.
I ask no follies, just other variants
Hey Dexter,
how's the process of recording going so far?

How was it working with producer Bob Rock
Dexter;who is your favourite Lost character?I hope it is Benjamin.

Is the U.S. Now Provoking an Arms Race in Space?
Recorded: Tuesday, February 12, 2008
The 1967 Outer Space Treaty designated space for peaceful purposes as the province of all mankind. Virtually all spacefaring nations now favor a new treaty to accommodate major changes in geopolitics and military technology. The United States, however, has blocked negotiations, citing potential threats to U.S. rights, capabilities, and freedom of action.

Since Tanzania reverted to multipartyism the enforcement of leadership ethics in public service has declined sharply, notwithstanding government efforts to reform and empower various statutory institutions created specifically to enforce accountability and ethical conduct in public affairs.
Performance of institutions which are charged with enforcing accountability in the public service has not been impressive. Generally they have not lived to the expectation of the general public.
In the past, scant attention was paid to the reports submitted by the Controller and Auditor General (CAG) to the president and the National Assembly. The culprits were left untouched despite efforts by the president to give CAG 'more teeth to bite'.
This paved the way for non-state actors (NSAs), including, political parties, credible civil society organisations (CSOs) and, in some instances, development partners, to intervene so as to agitate for the enforcement of accountability in the conduct of government business.
The recent serious intervention by the National Assembly, the ruling party's parliamentary caucus and its Central Committee, as well as incipient threats by opposition parties, particularly Chadema and CUF to demand and enforce accountability, must be recognised and appreciated.
The ruling party's decisions are the right steps in the right direction in an effort to enforce accountability in public finance management. The ruling party has sent a strong message to ministers and all accounting officers in the public service to ensure that they duly comply with the laws, rules and regulations governing the procurement and the use of moneys allocated to institutions they are entrusted to serve in the public interest.
Much as the CCM Central Committee's resolutions are timely and required, however, they are neither apanacea nor sufficient ingredients for restoring financial discipline and accountability in the public service.
The resolutions, including an impeding cabinet reshuffle, are necessary but by all means they are insufficient in restoring the lost glory in the domain of public finance management.
Erosion of ethics is phenomenal in Tanzanian society in its entirety. The undesirable performance traits exhibited by some of our leaders is a reflection of unethical behaviour which is prevalent and increasing in society. A number of serious decisions and actions are required, including the following:
First, the statutory accountability and ethical conduct of enforcing institutions, including the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) and the Public Leaders Ethics secretariat, must be re-examined and repositioned to enable them execute their mandate effectively, with vigour and rigour. The trust of the public in these very useful accountability enforcing institutions is relatively and substantively withering away.
Secondly, the government must encourage and motivate whistleblowers in government ministries, departments and Agencies as well as in local government authorities. Loyal civil servants and members of the public who are courageous enough to disclose information about malpractices, breach of the public service code of conduct and other public financial management vices must be recognized and motivated.
Thirdly, the public, in its entirety, including credible non-state actors such as civil society organisations and faith-based organizations, should be encouraged and empowered to demand accountability from elected and appointed officials.
This requires a deliberate national civic education strategy in order to conscientize the citizenry and taxpayers on their right to demand accountability from those holding public offices.
Fourthly, the legislation governing the enforcement of discipline in the public service must be reviewed with a view to enacting a more stringent, but not obnoxious, legislation that will not only prevent malpractices and bureaucratic maladies, but also impose heavy penalties on culprits and zero-tolerance to all incidents of unaccountability.
Fifth, the curricula in learning institutions must be reviewed with the intention of mainstreaming the subjects of ethics and good governance in learning packages at all levels in the educational ladder.
However, the most important point is that the coming debate on the new constitution should also focus on the need for creating vibrant institutional and legal frameworks for enforcing and promoting accountability in the country.
It should be noted that restoration of accountability in the public service requires, among other things, unquestionable political will, a holistic approach rather than piecemeal strategies, and joint efforts by both the state and non-state actors.

Homepage > ... > City Council/Mayor > City Council Goals > A Great Downtown
Vernon Street Town Square - The Parks, Recreation & Libraries Department has assumed temporary responsibility for programming activities and events year round in the town square. Events such as holiday gatherings, family festivals, farmers markets, and concerts have drawn thousands downtown. As reasons increase to visit this walkable, family-friendly area, more people will patronize businesses, visit theaters and galleries, and attend special events, building a stronger business base and sense of culture and community identity.
Oak Street Improvement Project and Roundabout - To help revitalize downtown, improve traffic safety and ease traffic congestion, construction on the Oak Street Improvement Project began in April 2014 and will continue through the end of 2014. The project includes a roundabout at the intersection of Washington Boulevard and Oak Street. Although the construction is expected to cause significant congestion, when completed, the project will improve traffic flow and create a landmark entry feature into downtown. The installation of traffic signals and reconfiguration of entry and exit points to Oak Street parking will improve safety while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of Downtown Roseville as a destination.
Parking Infrastructure - In FY2014-15, staff will bring forward a parking management plan for Downtown Roseville, including opportunities to add parking structures to meet the increased demand generated by new businesses, the town square, and events.
Downtown WiFi - The City is working on a public-private partnership with Consolidated Communications to offer free Wi-Fi access downtown, which will be available in FY2014-15.
Cultural Arts Strategy - A Cultural Arts and Entertainment Strategic Plan was undertaken last year to develop a community vision and strategy for the arts. With input from Placer Valley Tourism, the Chamber of Commerce, arts organizations, community groups, and business and community leaders, the plan provides an assessment of current arts programs and facilities, as well as financial resources. With implementation for the arts portion scheduled for FY 2015-16, the entertainment portion of the plan is being coordinated with the Master Developer and will begin implementation in FY2014-15.
Roseville Community Development Corporation - In 2010 the City Council took the strategic step of establishing the Roseville Community Development Corporation (RCDC), a private nonprofit, 501c(3), with the purpose of expanding private and public investment in downtown Roseville. Development corporations fill a critical gap between what the public sector can do and what the private sector is willing to do by forming public-private partnerships and exploring development funding options that include federal and state grants, tax credits, and tax-exempt financing. For more information about RCDC operations, see http://www.rosevillecdc.com/.

Chris Brown's girlfriend Karrueche Tran got a shock when she returned to the star's home to find the R&B bad boy had spray-painted her Porsche.
The model had been on a trip to Las Vegas but jetted back to Los Angeles on Thursday to see her on/off beau.
Tran was left speechless when she was dropped off at his property and discovered colorful monster murals had been sprayed over the white paintwork of her expensive sports car.
Taking to Instagram, she uploaded a snap of herself looking glum while sitting on the vehicle's hood, with the message, "This (is) what the f**k I come home to lmao this n**ga man."
The graffiti is in the same style as the daubings on the outside of Brown's home, which the Kiss Kiss hitmaker was made to remove earlier this year following complaints from neighbours.

The Albany Esperanto was originally a two-door coupe available in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto Advance, Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. In Grand Theft Auto IV, however, it is a now a four-door sedan. It is one of the most common cars in most of the games in which it appears.
The Esperanto made its first appearance in Grand Theft Auto III, and its design has remained almost exactly the same in the following games, with only minor styling changes (mostly to the taillights and rear bumper).
A modified variant (with official taxi ID plaques) is driven by Niko Bellic's cousin, Roman and is simply called Roman's Taxi when getting into that particular Esperanto. When free cab rides from Roman's garage are unlocked, an Esperanto will be sent to pick Niko up. It changes to a Cavalcade after Roman purchases a penthouse in Algonquin, fetching around $20,000+ at Stevie's. It can be obtained in Roman's missions after you complete them, you can steal the ones that Roman sends to you to pick you up however the doors are locked at first so either shoot the driver or get in as a passenger, go to a safehouse, then when Niko gets out, quickly get in front and aim a gun at Mohammed, he will freak out and leave the car, leaving you to kill him for his money (he usually carries some extra cash) or just let him run, and now that the door is open you can just jack it.
The Esperanto was one of the first cars to appear in any media in the run-up to GTA IV's release. It has often been mistakenly referred to as an "Albany" due to the fact that the word is conspicuously emblazoned on the grille. In actuality, Albany is the "make" of the car (other vehicles are seen with the Albany nameplate on their decklids and logos, such as the Primo), while Esperanto is the model. In GTA IV, after collecting all thirty cars for Stevie he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Esperanto fetching $1,800.
GTA III—GTA Vice City Stories
The GTA III era Esperanto is based on a 1975-1978 Cadillac Eldorado, more specifically the 1975 and 1976 models judging by the taillights. However, the vehicle has received significant changes throughout its appearances in these games.
When introduced in GTA III (and, later, in GTA Liberty City Stories), the Esperanto features a slightly curvy profile and flatter details. The GTA Vice City rendition (as well as the GTA Vice City Stories rendition) received a major retouch with the vehicle featuring a more angular body design, detailed fascia and rear fin that slant forward. GTA San Andreas' Esperanto is essentially similar in design as that of GTA Vice City, but noticeably sports differences in the rear, with its tailfin-based taillights reduced in height (implying they are now part of the rear bumper) and its rear license plate relocated from the trunk lid to the bumper. Similarly, the GTA Advance rendition maintains much of the physical traits of previous Esperanto's as seen from the top down.
One of the earliest known name of the car is the "Esparanto", revealed during development of GTA III and depicted in the Capital Autos website. The beta Esperanto was also intended to feature hydraulics, but the feature was dropped in the final release. This feature was passed to the Yardie Lobo however.
GTA IVIn Grand Theft Auto IV, the Albany Esperanto is very different to the earlier renditions. Rather than being a large two-door coupe, the new car is a mid-sized four-door sedan. Its styling inspiration appears to be a pastiche of common late-70s/early-80s American car styling. The bumpers, sides and bustle-back styling (a majority of the chassis) is based on the Seventh Generation (1982-1987) Lincoln Continental. The grille and headlights are similar to a 1982/1983 Chevrolet Malibu (the shorter width of the grille makes it look like a 1984-'85 Chevrolet Celebrity, but the Albany signature on the grille and flatter headlights are more like the Malibu); and the taillights seem based on a '80-'81 Pontiac Bonneville/'85-'86 Pontiac Parisienne, the reverse lights could also suggest some other luxury cars. The combined look seems to emulate an early Cadillac Seville as it is commonly mistaken for one.
Roman's Taxi is based on GTA IV's Esperanto.
GTA III—GTA Vice City Stories
Although performance aspects vary slightly between games for this vehicle, acceleration and speed are generally quite satisfying with the rear-drive V8 or I6 (depending on the game) powertrain. The one common problem with the Esperanto, however, is its notoriously bad brakes - a problem that is only exacerbated by the vehicle's weight. Traveling at high speed it takes some time to bring the vehicle to a stop which, besides often causing minor accidents, becomes a potentially fatal problem in GTA III, where Claude is unable to jump from a moving vehicle, exposing him to serious danger in a fast-moving Esperanto about to explode. The car's handling is highly responsive, but again, the vehicle's size and weight cause problems, predisposing it to two-wheeling and loss of control when overcompensating for a swerve at high speeds. However, its huge mass absorbs damage quite well, making it a good vehicle for ramming smaller ones (and even comparably sized ones) off the road. Usually using the handbrake with this car is more effective than using the main braking system.
The Albany Esperanto is powered by a relatively lazy-feeling engine, paired with a 5 speed gearbox in RWD configuration, incorrect because the real Seville is FWD. Overall it is rather slow and dreary, in that acceleration is very poor and top speed is not very high. Handling is fairly acceptable, though some understeer can be felt. The suspension can be described as moderately firm, yet soft enough to cope with the rough streets of Liberty City. Braking has improved significantly over the GTA III-era Esperanto, though ABS is still not available. When crashed, this car appears to cope rather well, however it is easy for the engine to become damaged.
- Esperanto is French for Hoping and Catalan for Waiting.
- Esperanto is a name of most widely spoken constructed international auxiliary language.
- In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, no matter how many times you respray the Esperanto, there will always be a lining of brown dirt at the bottom of the vehicle.
- The Esperanto is one of the few cars that the Police will say the name over the radio when chasing you.
- In GTA IV the Esperanto's engine sound, along with any other vehicle that emits the same noise, bears similarity to the sound produced by the Jersey XS, a car based on the Dodge Viper found only in Midnight Club II
- A wreck that looks like a cross between the GTA SA Buccaneer and Esperanto can be found in Used Auto Parts in South Bohan, just Northwest of the South Bohan Safehouse. It will reappear a few days after the garage was blasted. There is an identical wreck in Brucie's Excecutive Lifestyle Autos.
- The Esperanto in GTA IV shares it's interior with the Emperor.

- Steady state visually evoked potential (SSVEP) topography during AX version of continuous performance task (AX-CPT): Age related effects

- Li, H. W.; Silberstein, Richard B.
- Abstract
- We examined the effect of age on SSVEP topography. Twenty-four elderly (mean age 70) and twenty young (mean age 22) subjects performed the AX version of the CPT task and a reference task requiring them to respond to the regular appearance of the target letter E. Letters were presented for 300 ms with an interval of 1500 ms. Brain electrical activity was recorded from 64 scalp sites while a diffuse 13 HZ flicker, superimposed over the visual fields, elicited the SSVEP. Compared to the mean of the reference task, SSVEP amplitude reductions were observed on the appearance of the letter A as well as on the appearance of the target X at prefrontal sites for both groups. By contrast, an SSVEP amplitude increase was shown when the letter A disappeared. Appearance of the target letter X was associated with SSVEP latency reductions at prefrontal sites for both groups. SSVEP latency reductions were observed at left temporal site in the young group. By contrast, smaller SSVEP latency reductions were observed at left and right temporal sites in the elderly group. Our data suggests significant age-related differences in cortical activations for this task.

Grinding Teeth of Duck-bill Dinosaurs More Advanced Than Horses'
by AMNH on
A new scientific study shows that duck-billed dinosaurs pulverized tough and abrasive plants with grinding teeth more complex than those of cows, horses, and other well-known modern grazers. The researchers, which included Mark Norell, the chair of the Museum's Division of Paleontology, are the first to recover material properties from fossilized teeth.
Theodore Roosevelt's Snowy Owl

The collection included the skull of a seal, birds' nests, insects, and mouse skeletons. He collected and mounted this Snowy Owl near Oyster Bay, Long Island, in 1876.

summer edition of Premium
14 Jan. 2013
Premium turns 10!'
First launched in September 2002, the Premium Exhibition will be celebrating its 10th birthday when it takes place from January 15 to 17. In charge of the Premium, Anita and Norbert Tillmann have eagerly awaited the trade fair, and 10th anniversary party and presentations.
To be held at its usual venue - the Berlin am Gleisdreieck railway station on Luckenwalder Strasse – the trade fair has over 23,000 square meters (nearly 250,000 square feet) of space to work with and features 900 brands from the premium segment as well as special womenswear, menswear, denim, sportswear, shoes and accessories segments. "Our core concept is to be a seasonal curator of brand portfolios. Plus, each season about 25 percent of the newly exhibited apparel, shoes and accessories are new collections which closely match our event profile in order to keep our retail visitors informed and inspired.

Looking for a refreshing summer drink that is easy on your wallet?
Well, do I have a versatile lemonade recipe for you!
If you've been around my website a bit, you know that I don't like purchasing ready-made things when I can easily make them myself.
Here is another case in point and one of the easiest yet.
One of my readers recently asked if I had a healthy drink she could treat her kids to by offering them something besides water. I completely understand.
I don't let my kids drink any sodas or bottled juice drinks. One reason is due to the problems that they pose for health and the other is the cost.
1. Have you seen the plethora of negative information coming out about high fructose corn syrup and sugar alone? There has been mercury detected in high fructose corn syrup due to the means of processing, and sugar is now being linked to all sorts of health issues.
2. Take a look at your grocery bill and see how much you are spending on drinks: sodas, juices, etc. And those "healthy waters"? Don't get me started. Anyhow, here is a way that you can treat your whole family to a wonderful summery drink without breaking the bank. And you can sweeten it however you wish.
By the way, any of the following links may be affiliate links. If you click on them and make a purchase, I might make a commission. Your support is much appreciated and helps keep this free resource up and running.
- 64 oz (8 cups) water
- ¼ cup (equivalent of two lemons) lemon juice (I recommend Dream Foods organic)*
- 8 scoops (1/4 tsp) pure stevia extract (I recommend NuNaturals), to taste** (you may substitute approximately ½ cup of a granulated or liquid sweetener to taste.)
- Pour water into pitcher.
- Add lemon juice and stevia.
- If using a granulated sweetener, mix ½ cup water and the sweetener in a pot and heat until the sweetener is dissolved. Then, once dissolved, add sweetener and water mix to remaining water.
- Stir and enjoy!
- This tastes great chilled with ice cubes. It really refreshed my husband and boys this past week when they were working on our raised beds in 90+ degree heat!
**Pure stevia is incredibly sweet. 1 scoop = 1/32 tsp and either one or two scoops will sweeten an 8 oz drink. It is really important which stevia you choose. Some are just plain icky. Our family's current favorite is NuNaturals as it is one of the only brands that uses only water to extract the stevia from the plant. But KAL is really nice as well. I am going to be trying another brand that was recommended to me soon. I'll keep you updated!
Tips & More
1. Of course, use lime juice to make limeade!
2. How much can you save?
If you purchase Costco's lemon juice, one 64 ounce (close to a 2-liter) will set you back only 24 cents, plus the cost of your sweetener. And if you use stevia, this is really a bargain drink!
Now that's a sweet deal :-P!)
So skip the specialty stevia-sweetened drinks on the market — make your own and do something more purposeful with your money!
3. This post on Stevia has tips to help you use it if you aren't familiar with it.
But for starters, these mini stainless measuring scoops are pretty much a must have if you are going to use stevia extract. I only really use one or 2 of the scoops, but they are pretty reasonable so I was willing to buy the set.
The 2nd smallest scoop is 1/32 of a teaspoon (the standard "stevia scoop" size) and it fits nicely in my small stevia container. Some of the extracts are of differing strengths, so you might need to use the mid-sized scoop as well.
4. Sweetener tips: For sweeteners, if you are able to eat sugar (more on that later), I recommend honey or sucanat. If need/wish to avoid sugar, I recommend stevia. If you have trouble with stevia, there are other options:
Vegetable glycerine is a more natural one. NOW glycerine is a great brand.
They are not technically regarded as "whole foods" in the whole foodie arena, but xylitol and erythritol are the better choices among the alternative options. I recommend several brands, including Now Foods and Emerald Forest. Prices on Iherb are great too for alternative sweeteners, and you get $5 back on your first order! Here's a link to NuNaturals erythritol there.
Check out my recipe page for other Make Your Own Tips that can save you a bundle, including:
What is your favorite drink?
Do you have something you would like me to figure out a "homemade" version of?

Amerec 9011-404

Questions about Amerec 9011-404?
Contact us for advice or more details. Our product specialists are here to help.
7KW Warm Start Single Unit 208/240V 1 Phase Generator from the AK Series
Soft Steam element switching maintains a consistent and comfortable steam bath environment. The AK generator uses full power of both elements to heat up the steam room to the preset temperature, then cuts power to half its elements, resulting in a more consistent flow of soft steam and more stable room temperature. Minimal temperature variation and an even flow of steam are the two most important features of a perfect steam bath. Quality engineering and reliability. The small physical size of Amerec generators offers efficient installation. Stainless steel tank and water level probes provide years of trouble-free operation, while standard manual drains or optional ADK automatic drain systems promote longer generator life. All Amerec generators have removable heating elements for easy and economical service. Warm Start instant steam option is a unique feature that keeps water in the generator tank pre-heated so steam output begins in less than 60 seconds after the main control is turned on. The Warm Start feature can be turned on and off to conserve electricity usage whenever the steam bath won't be used for extended periods of time. A separate Warm Start Control must be ordered for use with Warm Start generators.

We are running a prize draw on facebook - one lucky winner will receive six treatments from a local British Acupuncture Council member.
The competition runs until 17 October 2013. Full terms and conditions are accessible from the competition page.
The BAcC continues to receive calls and emails about the NHBTS policy that any patient who has had acupuncture treatment delivered by a practitioner who is not statutorily regulated has to wait four months before they can donate blood. This change to the NHSBT's donor criteria came into effect in late 2009,and with the statutory regulation of acupuncturists now unlikely in the foreseeable future, this could mean that someone having regular treatment with a BAcC member would never qualify to donate blood.
The BAcC has exemplary safety standards and campaigned vigorously to challenge this decision. We have since done our best to make sure that all of our members let their patients know that they must wait four months to donate blood or bone marrow products.
The official notification and rationale for the decision is available on http://www.transfusionguidelines.org/document-library/documents/change-notification-no-32-2009/download-file/dl_change_note_2009_32.pdf and http://www.transfusionguidelines.org/document-library/documents/change-notification-no-33-2009/download-file/dl_change_note_2009_33.pdf but some enquirers have found this difficult to locate on official sites.
The BAcC is fully committed to reversing this decision for the benefit of the patients of its members. The recent accreditation of the BAcC under the Professional Standards Authority Assured Voluntary Register scheme has given us hope that this new flagship scheme will provide the recognition of exemplary standards the BAcC needs for its members to be granted exemption from the deferral period for donation.
Back pain is no longer just the curse of middle age according to new research released today as 1 in 3 people under the age of 35 admit to constantly suffering with the condition.
Despite the common occurrence of back pain amongst the under 35s as identified by the research, nearly 4% of people aged between 18 and 24 years old claim they visited a GP about their problem and were turned away without treatment.
The most common cause of back pain for the nation, the research study, was wear and tear (21%) however nearly 9% blame gardening and a further 10% say lifting heavy work equipment was the culprit. Over 2% of those polled are clearly getting more of it than others as they admit their back pain is the result of having lots of sex!
The independent study, in which 1,000 UK men and women were questioned, was carried out on behalf of the British Acupuncture Council to mark Back Care Awareness Week which takes place 8th – 12th October.
Its common knowledge that the UK is a nation of pill poppers and this research supports that as a nearly half of those polled (48%) admit they rely on painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs to deal with their back pain. Over 12% however prefer the natural route using acupuncture and massage to get relief. Surprisingly 15% have not sought any professional help and ignored their back pain, whilst 4% suffer in silence because they don't know how to deal with it.
Nick Pahl, CEO, the British Acupuncture Council, the UK's leading governing body for the practice of acupuncture, comments on the research: "It's clear from the results that back pain can have a significant effect on our wellbeing and much of the nation is relying on over-the-counter or prescription medication to cope with it. However there are proven, natural ways to combat the pain including acupuncture. In fact the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) recommends acupuncture for patients with persistent low back pain."
Back pain can have a huge impact on our everyday lives say those surveyed with over 18% admitting it has made them depressed and nearly a quarter (24%) claiming it has affected how much exercise they do. Sadly over 9% are on constant medication because of their condition and 6% have lost their job over it. Though a surprising 9% of the nation say back pain has impacted on their sex life!

The British Acupuncture Council responds to a recent article in a national newspaper: "There are very few side effects from acupuncture when practised by a fully qualified practitioner of traditional acupuncture. Two surveys conducted independently of each other and published in the British Medical Journal in 2001 concluded that the risk of a serious adverse reaction to acupuncture is less than 1 in 10,000. This is far less than many orthodox medical treatments. To further reduce the risk of any potential side effects, patients should look out for a registered practitioner from the British Acupuncture Council. The BAcC stamp of approval means that the practitioner is an accredited acupuncturist providing the highest standard of professional care to patients, with degree level training and strict codes of safe practice, which are in place to protect the patient from these sorts of incidents."

Municipal water customers of the city of Rifle will get a welcome New Year's gift from the city when they open their utility bills in 2013.
Water rates will be substantially lower, after City Council approved an emergency ordinance on Dec. 19 that modifies the water rates that were implemented in September. Those rates were more than double the previous rates in some cases, and were increased to help repay a $25.5 million loan to build a new water treatment plant.
City Manager John Hier said the reduction follows voter passage of a 3/4 of a cent sales and use tax hike at the Nov. 6 general election. That tax hike was proposed by the city to help ease the financial burden on water users.
Hier noted the ordinance also eliminates a second round of water rate increases planned for April 1.
"I think these are very reasonable rates and represent a significant reduction in water bills," Hier said.
However, he noted the new rates are still higher overall than the rates that were in effect for the first half of 2012. But, he added, tiers one and two ($3.20 and $3.40 per 1,000 gallons) are less than the old rate of $3.54 per 1,000 gallons.
"I believe these new rates will give water customers the relief they are seeking," Hier wrote in a memo to the council.
Rates for outside city users were also reduced from double the in-city rates to one and a half times higher, he added.
Hier said the ordinance also cleans up "loose ends" in the existing water rate ordinance, such as minor charges for services that are no longer assessed.
City Attorney Jim Neu noted the ordinance added new "stand-by" fees for vacant properties that have city water service.
"It's just to cover the costs of maintaining the system," Neu said. "There is overhead, even if the water isn't used. This is something we haven't had before, but it's pretty common."
Hier said on Friday, Dec. 21 that the stand-by fee is one quarter of the base rate of $24 a month, so vacant property customers will be charged $6 a month.
In order for the new water rates to take effect on Jan. 1, the date the three-quarter cent sales and use tax takes affect, the ordinance was labeled an "emergency ordinance," which required at lease five of the seven council members to approve it. All seven voted in favor.
Hier added that since these rates take affect on Jan. 1, the day when previous annual utility rate hikes were implemented, that 5 percent increase will not occur for water customers in 2013.

Andrew Brimmer, a former Harvard professor, was the first black person appointed to the Federal Reserve Board. President Lyndon B. Johnson gave him the position in 1966. Brimmer was working as the Assistant Secretary of Commerce of Economic Affairs when President Johnson took notice. His appointment caused uproar on the Federal Reserve Board and in the headlines, which read, "Desire to Aid Negroes Could Make New 'Fed' Member More Liberal."
The press had shined a rather racist light on the Boards' President, William McChesney Martin Jr., who said he would resign if Brimmer joined the board. His statement caused the press to consider his 'dislike for Negroes' if he resigned based on Brimmer's new position.
Brimmer is a native of Newellton, Louisiana with an education from the Washington State and the University of Washington in Seattle. His father was a Louisiana sharecropper. Despite meager upbringings, the WWII veteran earned coctorates from both M.I.T. and Harvard.
Dr. Brimmer focused on domestic spending. His goal was to persuade state businesses to slow down on foreign investments. He also encouraged foreign companies to spend their currencies in the U.S. By 1965, foreign spending had been cut in half as a result of Brimmer's efforts.

Search teams have suspended operations after an enormous cruise ship grounded and partially submerged off the coast of Tuscany shifted under turbulent seas.
The Costa Concordia cruise liner had more than 4,200 passengers and crew on board when it slammed into the reef Friday off the tiny island of Giglio after the captain made an unauthorized maneuver.
Firefighters searched the part of the ship above water overnight, but found none of the passengers and crew still missing.
The bodies of five adult passengers were discovered in the ship on Tuesday, raising the death toll to 11. Their nationalities were not immediately released.
The bodies were discovered after navy divers exploded holes in the hull of the ship to allow easier access. They are expected to blast more holes in the submerged area today.

Windows XP SP2 should be coming soon. It's a HUGE SP update--230MB. After the Sasser variants and all the chaos it caused--not to mention Windows 2000 code being released on the net, this new Service Pack will allegedly prevent executables from being launched in areas where Windows has been vulnerable in the past.
The following link is where you can find more info about the release.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodte ... predl.mspx
You can download a Technical Preview, which is 230MB, but it is not guaranteed to work. I think June 23 is when the expected official release is going to be available.
