Chuvash is a Turkic language with about 2 million speakers in Russia. It is the official language of the Chuvash Republic, Чăваш Республики, which is also known as the Chuvashia, Чува́шия, and is also spoken in Tatarstan and Bashkortostan.
The first Chuvash grammar was published in 1769. A number of dictionaries, translations of religious texts and folkloric texts were published during the 18th and early 19th centuries. Chuvash has been written with a Runic script, the Arabic alphabet, and the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets. The Cyrillic alphabet for Chuvash was first introduced in 1873 by Ivan Yakovlevich Yakovlev. Since then it has undergone a number of revisions, particularly in 1938. The Latin alphabet is sometimes used as well, though there is no standard, official version.

Budget board considers employee pay cut
Members of the Baker City Budget Committee were wrapping up their meeting Thursday night when one of the members asked for a 2.5 percent across-the-board cut in the employee payroll.
Former Councilor Gail Duman, one of the members of the board, made the request after more than three hours of discussions that resulted in a variety of project expenditures being chosen from a larger number compiled by city staff.
"It's time to look at doing something to control costs in personnel services," Duman said.
The proposed General Fund budget for the 2012-13 Fiscal Year exceeds $5.8 million and 71 percent of that money — more than $3.7 million — is for personnel services.
City Manager Mike Kee asked for time to do some research. This would allow him to provide "some options along with consequences," he said.
Mayor Dennis Dorrah also suggested taking time to pull together information for consideration next week.
Dorrah then said the proposal should be pay cuts for all employees, not just to police, fire and others paid from the city's General Fund.
Duman then expanded that request to include public works employees after initially asking that only general fund positions be targeted.
Councilor Clair Button wondered why this was proposed because they'd just approved a conservative budget that underestimated revenue and that the city was "in the same position as last year — and that's pretty darned good," he said.
Button also thought the proposal would make labor negotiations with fire, police more difficult.
"I'm not comfortable with an across-the-board whack. I don't see justification for doing this," he said. "It's without a grain of good reason."
Councilor Beverly Calder agreed with Duman and seconded the motion.
"I think it's a trim. A reality check," she said. "We have to start making changes now."
"I'd like to see an evaluation of what's possible and reasonable," said Councilor Aletha Bonebrake. "How it would be done and what it would mean."
Councilor Sam Bass asked why council members in favor of the pay decrease also want to hire a full-time city engineer for the cost of $120,000.
"Cut their salaries?" he asked.
"I want to trim," Calder said.
"You want to trim?" Bass asked, seeking clarification.
"Everyone is doing it," Calder said.
She then said that many governments are curbing budgets by using such methods as employee pay cuts and freezes, and work furloughs.
"It's time to make those changes," Duman said.
"It's a good exercise," said Josie Mack, a board member. "You should be given the opportunity to come back to us. ... It's complex."
Kee said he would have preferred to have heard such a proposal earlier.
"This would have been a better conversation at the beginning," Kee said. "We could have shown you up to 10 percent."
"2 1/2 (percent) is small," said Richard Langrell, another former councilor. "We couldn't trim trees. Buy picnic tables.
"It shows we're way too heavy on personnel. Maybe we need to change priorities in spending," he also said.
"Something has got to give," said Randy Daugherty, board chairman and another former councilor.
Daugherty was concerned about the small size of the ending fund balance at roughly $835,000 and a contingency of $80,000.
He also said the local economy isn't likely to begin expanding anytime soon and that he didn't want to see the city have to borrow money.
The budget proposed initially provides 3 percent raises for police and fire department employees and up to 2 percent for non-represented workers.
If the cutting results in layoffs instead of trims from each worker's pay, the city still needs to buy the vacation time and finance a year of unemployment compensation using money from the General Fund, Kee said.
The Planning Department is going to cut a position worth $35,000, for example. It's a job based on money received for the services, however, he said.
Duman briefly brought up the issue on Wednesday when she started reciting salary differences between, for example, city employees and county employees with comparable duties.
"Maybe it's time to consider freezing wages until the county considers catching up with us," she said Wednesday.
Police Chief Wyn Lohner explained to Duman then that cities typically pay more for law enforcement than counties "because cities have more calls for service. They do more across the board."
When Baker City is compared to other cities in the eastern and central parts of the state employee pay is "in the middle of the pack," Lohner said.
If the councilors ultimately approve an across-the-board decrease it likely would start July 1.
Among expenditures already decided on before hearing about a proposal to cut employee wages:
• $150,000 for burying utility lines under Resort Street to be transferred from the street fund;
• $25,000 extra for the Sam-O Swim Center to use for matching grant funds or to offset the cost to repair equipment that must operate if the pool is to be used;
• $25,000 for a new telephone system at City Hall, shop buildings and fire department;
• $5,500 for valve work, and mausoleum window repairs and seal-offs at Mount Hope Cemetery;
• $2,500 for replacement of hazardous trees.
And here is a list of expenditures that the group didn't advance:
• $18,000 for furnace upgrade at City Hall;
• $5,000 for records restoration, particularly documents dating back to the early 1900s;
• $5,000 for repairs to the Leo Adler Memorial Parkway;
• $2,500 for picnic tables in city parks.
Many projects were reduced in scope. A sand filter as well as a domestic water boiler and tank replacement totaling $97,000 was sought initially for Sam-O and the budget for removing hazardous trees was reduced from $5,000, for examples.
An interfund loan of nearly $63,000 to the golf course from the General Fund would remove costs to service the debt as well.
The board will hear more about the budget at 6 p.m. Monday, Baker City Hall, 1655 First St.
The budget board is composed of councilors and residents — many of whom had served on the council during past years.
The current councilors still must approve the budget.

Thank Gods (I've been watching Battlestar Galactica, although to say I've been enjoying it would be an overstatement) that with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the summer movie season is finally here. Normally, I would need Entertainment Weekly to tell me this, but our subscription lapsed. So I have to rely on the Wolverine television ads, which actually claim that those muttonchops are the first sign of the season.
Wolverine did well enough in its opening weekend, with $85 million domestically, but I'm afraid it might actually be an appropriate opener for summer 2009: the next installment of an established brand, and a movie that seems to excite very few people. Yes, they show up and pay their money the first weekend, but I think it's out of habit. Call it obligation cinema.

Moment of Truth in Iraq: How a New "Greatest Generation" of American Soldiers is Turning Defeat and Disaster Into Victory and Hope
Richard Vigilante Books, 2008 - History - 227 pages
Internationally acclaimed for his vivid shocking and intimate coverage, no reporter knows the battle zones of Iraq better than Michael Yon. The former Green Beret has been getting into the thick of it for years. Now Yon tells the true story of the surge --the last ditch effort of American and Iraqi soldiers to snatch Iraq back from the abyss.Yon has never been co-opted by Left or Right, Military or Media. In 2005, Yon was the first battlefield reporter to write that Iraq was spiraling into civil war. At one point Yon's truth-telling so infuriated the Army he was banished for months. So no one has more credibility reporting on the dramatic turnaround led by General David Petraeus and the still-critical dangers that will make 2008 the Moment of Truth in Iraq Richly illustrated with Yon's hair-raising battlefield photos, Moment of Truth in Iraq is both an urgent missive to Americans demanding answers, and a timeless chronicle of war.

Good News for Kindle Users!
Our free eBooks have been very popular, with almost 3500 titles checked out by KDL patrons last month alone! But many eBook readers have been disappointed to learn that library eBooks are currently not able to be downloaded to the Amazon Kindle, due to the proprietary file format that Amazon uses.
However, Amazon has recently announced that later this year Kindle-compatible eBooks will be available through OverDrive (the eBook service provider used by KDL and many other libraries across the country). This means that Kindle users will finally have the same access to free library eBooks that Nook and other eReader users already enjoy!
OverDrive has also assured libraries that all of our current eBooks will be available in Kindle format, with no need for us to use additional money to purchase Kindle-specific copies.
Although there is no specific launch date set yet, we'll be sure to let you know when the new Kindle compatibility becomes available. Until then, you can browse our eBook collection (which can be read on a computer as well as a number of other popular eReader devices).

Posted By Adele Chong On April 24, 2007 @ 5:03 pm In Design,Environment,Events,Green Furniture,Green Products,Innovation,Milan Furniture Fair,News,Renewable Energy | 3 Comments
During the week of Milan's Salone Internazionale del Mobile [2], we put a call out for eco-loving, freelance correspondents to help us out with our coverage. Our plea was met with much enthusiasm from, among others, a design class from Kansas State University [3], who braved the ruckus of the event to bring us some exciting reports and tips from Salone [4]. Read on for a run-down of some of their favorite and 'greenest' finds…
The Wattson sensor [5], which we've written about before, is an energy monitor from UK-based design studio DIY Kyoto [6] which clues its user into how much energy is being consumed in the household on an ongoing basis. It's been proven that simply by being more informed of your energy consumption, you're more likely to be more energy efficient (even if it's a subconscious effort). Wattson [5] tells you the wattage output generated by every electronic device in the room by displaying a digital read-out or via ambient light. As well as benefiting the environment and your pocketbook, the Wattson [6] gets our vote for being the sexiest-looking, juice-saving gadget on the market!
Italian designer Alberto Dassasso's [7] hip Avio chairs – created for Italian design [8] studio Vibrazioni [9] – are constructed out of discarded roadsigns and rebar.
Florence-based Targetti Group [10] is known in both local and international circles as a key leader in outdoor and indoor architectural lighting. We love their stylish, biodynamic Pura lights [11] – on top of not emitting heat, they enjoy an expected lifespan of up to 30,000 hours while consuming as little energy as a 100W lamp.
A pilot project from Italy's Lombardy region, Remade in [12]Italy [13] was launched in order to provide support and eco-design guidance for national companies interested in creating marketable products out of industry waste. Many of the resulting creations such as the Alice chairs [12] pictured above are derived from a company's first attempt at constructing a product out of recycled or reusable materials.
Many thanks to our green-design-loving Kansas State University cohorts for their contribution!

Botswana – FY 2010 Approved Funding by Program Area, Agency and Funding Source*
*Only appropriations from the GHCS (State) fund account are notified by the Global AIDS Coordinator.
Botswana is considered a mature PEPFAR program with high level of engagement and leadership from the Government of Botswana (GOB) as is demonstrated in the development and release of a Partnership Framework and joint USG-GOB strategic planning and program implementation structures. Programmatically Botswana continues to demonstrate important successes in meeting PEPFAR targets in treatment, care, PMTCT, and blood safety. Prevention will be the top priority in Botswana over the next several years. Activities will target both the general population as well as specific groups that are particularly vulnerable to HIV infection, such as MARPs, military personnel, and women. Recognizing that changing social and cultural norms must begin at an early age, the sexual prevention portfolio will continue to provide services focused on reducing risk among youth. Sexual prevention interventions include mass-media campaigns, in-school lessons, workplace discussions, and one-on-one conversations on risk reduction strategies. Additionally, in FY 2010 additional funding will be used for voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) to respond to the huge demand for these services. In an effort to build an evidence base for prevention activities, several projects will focus exclusively on determining the effectiveness of certain interventions.
PEPFAR also supports treatment and care efforts in Botswana. The national antiretroviral therapy (ART) program, MASA, continues to expand enrollment by rolling out services to all mother/ART clinics and satellite clinics, with the goal of bringing ART services nearer to the community. PEPFAR has been focusing on procuring antiretroviral (ARV) drugs, Supply Chain Management System strengthening of the central medical store, technical assistance (TA) in the development of care and treatment guidelines, curriculum development for pre-service training at various institutions, including the University of Botswana School of Medicine, regular training of healthcare workers on the national care and treatment guidelines. The PEPFAR country care and treatment team will continue to provide TA in areas of policy formulation, especially in the areas of palliative care and opiod usage for pain management.
Finally, health system strengthening is an important approach to ensure the sustainability of HIV/AIDS programs and other health services and interventions developed and rolled out under PEPFAR. Construction projects benefitting blood safety, pediatric treatment, TB/HIV, and laboratory infrastructure will be implemented in FY2010. With PEPFAR support, the Botswana MOH is undertaking the development of an integrated health service plan to correct inequities in the distribution of health services and increase access to basic services, including HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment programs. The overall purpose of the plan is to strengthen strategic health planning to ensure optimal utilization of health resources, including human resources, and to improve implementation of the Botswana National Health Policy. An Essential Health Services Package (EHSP) has been developed, along with supporting human resource, procurement, financial, monitoring and evaluation (M&E) components.

Those jerks in the picture? Not me
Mucho credit to our photographer Joe Cavaretta, who documented exactly why cars hate us.
He nailed the cycling group -- correctly identified as a peloton, rather than a pace line -- eating up multiple lanes in Angela Streeter's story today.
I got caught up on a group like that exactly once. That was enough. I'm a paceline guy, who rides in a group that calls other riders out if they veer into the second lane for cars, or hog a turn lane on the right when we're going straight.
So, if you're a driver and you're seething at today's photos, well, here's a cyclist saying I don't blame you a bit.

Police said a pipe was found in the front seat of a vehicle owned by a Taylorsville man being sought for violating a protective order.
Gregory A. Hill, 48, of 7650 Fawn Court, was arrested on charges of possession of methamphetamine, a Class D felony. He is also facing additional charges of possession of paraphernalia and invasion of privacy, both misdemeanors.
At 3:20 a.m. Saturday, a woman who obtained the protective order notified police that Hill was parked outside her home in the 3600 block of Central Avenue, Columbus Police spokesman Lt. Matt Myers said.
Although police had just served the protective order a few hours earlier, the woman said Hill got out of the vehicle and approached her as she was trying to get ready to go to work, Myers said.
The woman, who had a female friend staying with her, told police Hill fled at a high rate of speed after she threatened to call 911, Myers said.
Based on an earlier tip, Hill was found in the area of Sixth and Smith streets as he was walking toward his truck, Myers said. As police approached, Hill quickly slammed the vehicle door in what appeared to officers to be an effort to stop them from looking inside, Myers said.
That prompted a patrolman to peek inside, where he saw a clear glass smoking pipe in the front driver's seat, Myers said. As Hill was being handcuffed, he attempted to break away, but the Taylorsville man was quickly subdued, Myers said.
At first, Hill denied that the pipe, which contained a drug residue, was his. However, a vehicle search turned up an envelope containing what investigators believe to be methamphetamine, Myers said.
Hill was booked into the Bartholomew County Jail at 4:19 a.m. Saturday. He was released later that morning after posting a $1,000 cash bond.
The office of Bartholomew County Prosecutor Bill Nash will determine what charges, if any, will be filed.

Looking for glass canopy to fit a 45gal 36"x12" acquarium
I've been searching around for glass canopies, but because of the odd shape for my tank, it's proving to be a little more difficult than I expected.
For my 45gal 36"x12" aquarium, has anyony seen a one piece glass canopy or will I need to buy 2 pieces that are 18"x12"? I want to make sure I consider the plastic strip size for my filter access.
Thanks for any help or suggestions to products!
do you mean glass hoods??? a canopy is the big wodden piece that goes on top...glass lids just sit on the frame of the tank....here's what you need for your 45G
Aquarium Hoods & Canopies: All-Glass Versa-Tops
the 36" is $25.99
He will probably want the 36" Versa top that is $25.99.
36" Versa-Top 30 gallon / 40H 35-1/8" x 9-1/2" The plastic piece will get him to about 12" front to back.
Thank you for the reply. The one I think you are referring to in particular is the 36" versa-top which is 35-1/8" x 9-1/2". This leaves a 2.5" gap that is not covered. Is this were the vinyl strip comes into play, although the vinyl strip is only 2" so that still leaves a 1/2" opening.
The other 36" x 18" versa-top would be too big.
By the way, my tank does have a center brace so I could do halves instead of 1 large piece if needed.
When you factor in the lip on the front and back that would make up that 1/2" you would be short. I use two 24" Versa tops on my 55g. It's 9 1/2" plus the 2" plastic which is 11 1/2" My tank is wider than that but the lip on the frame that the tops sits on makes up for that and it's completely closed off with glass tops on it. even a small gap is better than a wide open top
I use the exact same on my tank as Harri....
you might run into two problems...
1. i dunno if I've ever seen 18" x 9.5" (plus plastic would be 12") glass tops
2. if you buy one 36" piece, you may run into problems with the hood sitting flush on the aquarium the brace sits up at all....
Your tank sounds pretty standard sized to me. Other alternative (but not much cheaper, at least for TN prices) will be buying a sheet plexi glass.
Is the center brace raised above the inner lip of the tank at all? That's the only reason I see not to use the standard 36" glass canopy.

Dear Moderator,
Thank you for bringing up a very interesting set of questions but I am particularly focusing on the 3rd one. It is everyone's desire that malnutrition should be booted out of humanity. However, when you look at existing data for Sub Saharan Africa and the developing world in general, malnutrition seems to be on the increase although this is not true in some countries. Typically, this challenge is viewed as a structural problem, by the West and so they usually intervene by using food aid (best practice?). However, most eminent economists like FA Hayek, a Nobel Prize winning Austrian economist, indicated that transferring food aid suffers from knowledge and incentive problems. Thats why you find that food aid can be used to further the "nests of rationally self interested politicians" (Stigler, 1971). A recent book by Dr. Dambisa Moyo (an eminent African scholar) about Food Aid clearly indicates that food aid is not a solution to malnutrition. I think that we can have differing viewed on this point. So, then whats the solution? Western solutions suggest gravitation towards free market mechanism (more than 100 years of evidence). In other words, there is need for governments in the LDCs to create an institutional environment (property rights, laws, contract enforcement) that will guarantee that resources will flow to areas where there are most valued. Here political will is important.
We usually look to government to proffer solutions but what about in anarchic situations (where there are no governments) (see Buchanan) In these cases, capacity building of micro institutions will help alleviate malnutrition. An example is community driven orphan programs that focus on food and nutrition security needs of orphaned and vulnerable children (OVCs). In these programs people are self motivated and don't need external handouts. In a nutshell, there are antecedents that must be solved first before articulating good nutrition policies because a policy is just a piece of paper. It only becomes effective if institutional conditions and political will coincide.

Review Finds Vitamin D and Calcium Can Prevent Fractures
There's evidence that taking vitamin D supplements — combined with calcium — can reduce the risk of broken bones among older adults, according to a review of research prepared for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force.
But available studies aren't definitive about whether the potential benefits of taking vitamin D to stave off cancer outweigh the possible harms, the review finds. It does note there are "limited data" suggesting that 1,000 international units per day of the nutrient can reduce the risk of the disease.
The USPSTF will use the review as the basis of its forthcoming new recommendations on vitamin D supplementation. It's not clear when those will be announced.
The review, which considered 19 randomized controlled trials and 28 observational studies, is published in the Dec. 20 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Mei Chung, an author of the review and assistant director of the Evidence-based Practice Center at Tufts Medical Center, says the combined study data showed a smaller benefit for fracture risk among older adults living in the community than among the institutionalized elderly. Both men and women benefited.
Unlike a report released last year by the Institute of Medicine, this review doesn't focus on the ideal dose of vitamin D, says Chung. Instead, it notes that benefits were seen with doses of 300 and 1,100 IU a day, combined with between 500 and 1,200 milligrams per day of calcium. Vitamin D alone didn't seem to help, the review says.
Taking too much vitamin D is associated with a higher risk of kidney and urinary-tract stones, the review says.
Separately, another review published in the same journal calls for further, larger randomized trials to tease out whether vitamin D supplementation can prevent cardiovascular disease.

From the Experts at ByDesign
Everyone has to start somewhere. Whether you're new to the work force or only new to the real estate industry, your literal or metaphorical Rolodex might be a bit bare. But as a real estate professional, your success relies on who you know, and more importantly, who knows you. So gather your contacts to get a jump-start on increasing your business referrals.
First, start by assessing all of your existing personal and professional contacts, regardless of the industry. Although agents, stagers, and mortgage brokers are essential components to a referral network, you'll want to include as many quality connections as possible; everyone—from a mail carrier, to a hairstylist, to a restaurateur—will have real estate needs at one time or another (or know someone else who does). But it's important to have a strategy behind your networking. Make sure you're making the right connections for the right reasons, and your business will soar.
Once you've established your existing network, look to expand in your local market. Either join a networking group or establish your own. Sign up with your local chamber of commerce as a registered business and attend their meetings. Also, consider going to business-related neighborhood association gatherings and your personal neighborhood meetings. It's imperative to be an involved member of the community to make connections and encourage referrals.
In addition to your personal website, establish and maintain social-networking business profiles for a comprehensive online presence; use these online tools to interact with your clients on a regular basis, and keep your finger on the pulse of what's happening in your community and beyond. Be careful not to use this resource as just another platform for a sales pitch. Instead, it should make you relatable to your current and potential clients. You'll also want to offer universal real estate and home design insight to give your business some additional value.
Because you can't shake every potential client's hand in person at first (as is the case with faraway buyers), it's important to brand yourself both online and through print marketing, as an approachable, local expert. Out-of-town buyers are significant referrals; they are often more motivated to make purchases, and because they don't know the area well, they'll look to you for additional referrals for the best drycleaner, pizza place, and more, which only enhances your professional connections. Before you know it, you'll be providing referrals to agents outside of your local network and collecting a handsome referral fee, too.

I got an email this morning form the Barna Group and noticed that they were selling Alan Hirsch's book for $10 plus s&h. This is a fantastic book on missional engagement. If you haven't read it - buy it as a gift for yourself. If you have, then you would certainly want to give it to someone this Christmas! Click here.
Here is my summary of the book:
Jesus did not start a religion; He started a movement of spiritually transformed people on mission with Him. To better understand this movement from a historical perspective as well as its expression in the 21st century, Alan Hirsch's The Forgotten Ways is a must read. Drawing on his own experiences in Australia, and both the 1st century movement in the early church and the 20th century movement in China, Hirsch unpacks the basic components of spiritual movements.
He details the "quintessential elements that combine to create Apostolic Genius" which are present in every believer: 1) Christocentric Monotheism: "Jesus is Lord", 2) Disciplemaking, 3) Missional-Incarnational Impulse., 4) Apostolic Environment, and 5) Organic Systems, and 6) Communitas, not Community. Each of these chapters builds a deeper understanding of the foundational building blocks of movements. He also provides a valuable understanding of a missional church (p. 82) and the dangers of consumerism (p. 109).
Every missional leader should read this book to fully comprehend the process of multiplying disciples; "it is the essential task of discipleship to embody the mission of Jesus." (p 102).

Martinez, Ga--It's not a glamor spring sport but there's a pretty good talent pool in the world of track and field in the area. This year is no different. Over at Lakeside, usually it's the distance events we're talking about. Not this time with a sprinter that's leaving her mark.
Ashlan Rosier has blossomed into one of the top sprinters in the area. This past weekend, rosier, along with a handful of other area athletes were in New York City for the New Balance Track and Field Championships. While she didn't perform up to her standards in the big apple, it may have served motivation for the outdoor season.
"It' just showed me I need to work more and work harder at practice to get better" said Ashlan Rosier "My coach also helps us with practice, during practice he takes pictures of us and everything."
"That wasn't good enough for her" said coach Derek Myers "She wanted to be on the podium and so I love that because I know that's going to drive her further for this season and next season."
This weekend Rosier and the Panthers are competiting in Georgia Tech where her coach full expects her to set a school record in the 100 and 200. Her ultimate goal, follow in the footsteps of Reese Hoffa and be an Olympian. Rosier does run with an AAU team year 'round and should only get better seeing she's just a junior.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- NASCAR has announced competition changes for 2013, including the elimination of the top 35 qualifying rule and a reduction of the field size in the Nationwide Series.
Starting next season, the top 35 cars in owners' points will no longer be guaranteed a spot in the Sprint Cup field. NASCAR will use a 36-6-1 format in which the fastest 36 cars make the race on speed.
The next six highest ranking cars in owners points not already qualified then earn a starting spot, followed by the most recent eligible past champion driver.
In the Nationwide Series, NASCAR will only allow a maximum of 40 cars to race each week instead of 43. The change is to create a sense of urgency among teams to make races.

A power failure at the 90-Thousand-barrel-a-day Suncor oil refinery near Denver is reducing production at the plant, which produces 35 percent of Colorado's gasoline and diesel, the company says.
A company news release says the power interruption happened about 9 a.m. Sunday morning.
The fluctuation shut down the west side of the plant, which converts so-called "sour crude" into finished petroleum products.
The east side of the plant remains operational.
According to Canada-based Suncor, the plant in the Denver suburb of Commerce City, produces gasoline, diesel, jet fuel and asphalt.
The company says it notified the Colorado Department of Health and Environment and is investigating the cause of the power failure.

Reviews by thejoakim
Solid gamethejoakim | Sept. 3, 2013 | Review of Total War Rome II Post - PC
The maps are amazingly lush and realistic unlike previous installations of the Total War series. I'm really enjoying the region building making you not have to click on every city that you control every round; although this sometimes makes me build in the wrong cities it makes for much faster turns on the campaign map. There are some bugs which I'm sure will be hammered out over time such as wardogs not being able to disembark from boats during battle. Some people have said it's poorly optimized. I don't really agree with this. Running everything on max on my HD7970 i5 3570k rig. I'm not really a fan of the rain splashing effect on the screen but this is just a design choice. Some things could do with mouse over explanations like zeal and authority. Other than that it's pretty straight forward if you have played Total War before. I have to say the diplomacy aspect is much more sensible this time around and actually worth investing some time in. The brutal Total War grind is still there and that's all I'm really there for. Overall so far it seems like a solid effort.
Amazing: Original and hardcorethejoakim | Aug. 28, 2013 | Review of Dont Starve - PC
This is a game where you die it's over. Unless of course you have some voodoo hoodoo thing in place to save you. It is pretty challenging but not so much that it's daunting. You will learn from mistakes. You will get better. You will become a real survivalist. The only thing that this game reminds me of are some survival mods for WC3 like Winter Island and maybe Troll Tribes. But this is way better. Find a good location! Make a firepit! Build a settlement and outposts! Tech up! Fight the creatures of the world! Make friends! Don't starve!
Scarythejoakim | Aug. 28, 2013 | Review of Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth - PC
This game is scary as hell and you have to move fast and be smart. The npcs are super creepy weirdos.
Better than Shogun 2thejoakim | Aug. 28, 2013 | Review of Medieval II Total War Collection - PC
My honest opinion is that this game is better than Shogun 2 and even Rome. Sure the campaign map ai acts like a douche like in every Total War game. The Kingdoms expansion included in this is very good renewing the game making it seem new. I think I've played through this 3-4 times whereas I played Shogun 2 one and a two half times. I recommend this game. 4/5 vodka bottles
It's good... for a while.thejoakim | Aug. 28, 2013 | Review of Total War Shogun 2 - PC
The battles and castle defences are great fun and you steamroll the enemy hoorah! And then you play it on the hardest setting. Which kind of ruins the whole deal because the ai will stack armies on the armies on the armies whereas you can only have one army. So you might rout/wipe out 2 ai armies and when they send in the 3rd (same battle) you just cannot win due to morale and fatigue issues. This would be the time to sub in your other full army sitting right next to you but no. The only one allowed to reinforce like this is the ai. Gamebreaking. Another thing that is unforgivable is the grand strategy map ai. They make ridiculous demands when in weak positions and do not even accept the most generous of terms unless of course they came up with them. Furthermore, the ai will betray you in a heartbeat no matter if you have been allies for a very long time and have close ties.They will betray you even when hopelessly outnumbered and isolated. They hate you so much that they'd rather die and disappear from history than coexist. The illogical ai and generic maps makes the replay value of this game low. 91 for battles, 71 for ai. Average 81.

My name is Gabriela Moreno, I am 14 years old. The name of my media project is "I am in love with the green earth." I chose this topic for my media work because I've always had a passion for nature and it gives me a calming feeling. I love to go walking and bike riding on nature trails rather than sitting on my couch. It's interesting to observe what happens in nature while taking in the sunshine. I believe that not many teenagers my age would consider going outside to enjoy the fresh air and the environment. I believe that nature is overshadowed by social media such as Facebook and game systems like XBox and Wii. I came to make the different artistic choices by exploring the different features on Adobe Photoshop. Also, by choosing features that will enhance my photograph. I would like others to understand that exploring nature can be interesting and a great way to relieve stress. I think that more people should be open to the idea of exploring nature.

Sl2 LightSaber Blades
Ugh, I really hate saber blade mods, as they make me feel like a total dunce for not noticing these differences more keenly than others. This wasn\'t as hard, though, as the saber seems rather

distinct. A list doesn\'t hurt neither. I did notice something rather odd with this particular saber blade, as the core seemed to sorta \"wiggle\" about. It\'s hard to explain on paper without showing you footage. It just appeared that the core was crooked at several points in its form. The blur was also very geometric, as I could see a \"corner\" in the blur swing, which definitely doesn\'t look natural to me. Other than that, I\'m afraid there\'s not much else to say. It looks...okay, at best. I\'d say try at the very least try and cancel out that corner, if at all possible, and you\'ll be good to go, JG. - Averus Retruthan

howdy gang! firstly, i am going on vacation next week, which may mean there will be no posts, or i may have i have a lot of time on my hands a post more than usual. hopefully the latter situation comes to fruition. just throwing that out there. although, as much as i want to have a lot of free time, i do hope to get copious amounts of fishing in. either way, i guess its a win/win.
secondly, happened upon the debut record by happy birthday the other day and i havent stopped listening to it since. well, i have stopped listening to it, but you get my point. happy birthday is fronted by mr king tuff, kyle thomas, but also includes ruth garbus and chris weisman. personally speaking, i like this much more than king tuff, but thats just me. its fuzzed out pop bliss, which most of his stuff is, but for some reason this is resonating much more than his king tuff stuff. definitely check em out.

That's Impossible: How My Wife Learned How to CookCody
There once was a time when Casey decided to cook me the most fantastic chili I had ever eaten. She bought all the ingredients for chili and she spent an entire Sunday making the chili. When it came time to putting the chili in a pot for its final cooking stage, we began to smell something burning. And not the type of burning smell that permeates the house when something has splattered on the bottom of the oven. It was an odd smell that let us know that something was very wrong.
Casey pulled the Chili off the stove top and realized what she had done wrong. She cooked the chili in an ornamental pot that wasn't meant to be used for cooking, and the stove had burned a hole through the pot and parts of that pot had melted into the chili. Casey tried to salvage the chili by quickly pouring it into another bowl before it leaked out the bottom of the pot.
I ate every bit of that chili, and if I die of cancer one day I'm going to blame it on that chili. The chili tasted very wrong. Every bit of it tasted like burned food with a touch of a metallic flavor. But Casey had spent so much time on that chili and it was so important to her that I couldn't let her think the chili was actually bad. She knew it was bad, because she took one bite and decided to have cereal for dinner.
Almost a month later my best friend and former college roommate came into town and stayed the week at our house. For his final meal at our house Casey decided to bake a whole chicken. She spent a couple hours preparing all the food that was supposed to go with the chicken and she placed the chicken in our clay pot and put the pot in the oven to cook.
Thirty minutes later a buzzer went off and Casey ran into the kitchen and pulled the chicken out of the oven. She took the cover of the clay pot off and the chicken looked golden brown on the outside, so she decided the chicken was done. Pretty soon my friend and I were handed plates with mashed potatoes, some other vegetable, and a chunk of what appeared to be chicken that had been pulled straight from the fridge.
The outside centimeter or so of the chicken chunks were cooked, but the rest of it was a pinkish bloody and slimy mess of raw chicken.
The final determination after those two experiences was that Casey could not cook and would never be able to cook. After all, this was a lady who was capable of baking a pot into chili. That takes a serious lack of skill.
About a month after the chicken failure, Casey announced to me and her entire family that she intended to win the Utah State Fair's cookie baking contest.
I think I verbally let out a "pffft" when she told everyone her plans, and then I actively tried to convince her that it was impossible. I didn't want her to get her hopes up only for her to realize how bad of a cook she actually was.
Casey ignored me and she entered about 15 different types of cookies into about 15 different contests in the Utah State Fair. The lady won pretty much every contest and the overall cookie baking award. She had studied the art of cookie baking and mastered the skill and had learned how to cook.
That was the first time I realized that my lady was incredibly smart and capable of doing anything she wanted to do. Since that moment, she's mastered being a mother, mastered the art of baking cakes, grown a garden, and turned her online version of a journal into a thriving career.
She's a pretty impressive lady if you ask me.

Calif. CEO's son, 6, dies after fall in mansion
Sunday, July 17, 2011
SAN DIEGO (AP) — The 6-year-old son of a pharmaceutical company executive died Sunday, almost a week after falling down the stairs at his father's historic mansion — the same house where his father's girlfriend was found dead hanging nude from a balcony two days after the boy's fall, the boy's parents said.
Max Shacknai died at Rady's Children's Hospital in San Diego, Medicis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. chairman and chief executive Jonah Shacknai said in a statement along with ex-wife Dina Romano, the boy's mother.
"With great sadness, Dina and I convey the tragic passing of our beloved son, Max (affectionately known as Maxie)," the statement issued through Medicis Pharmaceuticals said. "Despite heroic efforts on the part of paramedics and hospital staff, he was unable to recover from the injuries suffered early last week. His loving, kind and vibrant spirit will be forever in our hearts and those whom he touched every day."
On Monday, Max fell down the stairs at the historic Spreckels mansion in Coronado in what police called a tragic accident. He was not breathing and did not have a pulse when paramedics found him.
On Wednesday, officials said Shacknai's 32-year-old girlfriend, Rebecca Nalepa, was found dead hanging nude from a balcony at the mansion, her hands and feet bound. Shacknai's brother, Adam, who was staying in the mansion guesthouse, called to report Nalepa appeared to be dead, police said. Jonah Shacknai was not at home.
Sheriff's Capt. Tim Curran has called the death "very bizarre."
Sheriff's investigators said last week they have not established any connection between the two deaths, and have not determined if Nalepa was a crime victim and have made no arrests. They said they have not ruled out suicide.
Phone messages left late Sunday with sheriff's homicide investigators were not immediately returned.
The 27-room Spreckels mansion was built in 1908 in the wealthy seaside suburb of about 24,000 people on San Diego Bay. It is named for its original owner John D. Spreckels, who also owned the majestic Hotel del Coronado and two local newspapers, the San Diego Union and San Diego Tribune.
Coronado had just one homicide last year, and the police department asked the sheriff's department to help with the investigation.
Jonah Shacknai, 54, founded Medicis, based in Scottsdale, Ariz., and has been chairman and CEO since 1988. The company's products include acne treatments Solodyn and Ziana and facial wrinkle treatment Restylane and Dysport, an increasingly popular competitor of Botox.
Shacknai bought the mansion in 2007 after agreeing with historic preservation officials that he would not make major changes to it, the San Diego Union-Tribune said.
He has been twice married and twice divorced, and has two other children aged 13 and 14, the newspaper said. Shacknai and Romano, his second wife, divorced in 2008.

Spotting in 6th week
My wife discovered that she had spotted a bit tonight and became VERY worried and anxious. Her only other pregnancy ended in a first trimester miscarriage so she is very sensitive to the possibility of having another. She also felt fewer symptoms today than usual (which is something that happened last time). How common is spotting in the first trimester. She had a cervical polyp removed earlier this year...don't know if that would be relevant or not. Seemed worth mentioning. Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!

Sometimes spotting is okay during a pregnancy. There could be another cervical polyp that has caused bleeding (more common than you think) or it could be a little bit of blood left over from the removal. Sometimes blood can stay in the vaginal canal for a while before coming out. If the blood was not bright red, it's usually okay. That means it's older blood that has been sitting in the canal for a while. Bright red indicates that it is fresh bleeding and should be checked out. Do not go to the ER unless your OB recommends it or if you cannot get a hold of anyone at your OB's office after hours. The ER will not be able to do much, but they can probably get you an ultrasound to check on your baby. It is worth the peace of mind to at least call the OB and explain the situation. Even if it is dark/brown blood and not bright red, you can ask to get seen for an ultrasound for peace of mind. Many hugs and prayers!posted 12/06/2012 by toxxikk
I think she suppose to see the Dr as soon as possible. It can be the sign of danger, I also lost my pregnancy back in July at 5 Weeks 3 Days I also started with some watery spots then bleeding with less pain than my period does. PRAYING for both of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCKposted 12/05/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Organizations using the popular collaboration software Microsoft SharePoint 2010 may be in store for several upgrades this year. ZDNet writer Mary Jo Foley recently indicated that she received access to information provided by Bjorn Furuknap, who is a senior solutions architect of an online SharePoint education company.
According to the reporter, the newest SharePoint software will include an application marketplace, which will allow hosting providers to offer the same set of apps to several clients at once.
SharePoint 15, as the upgrade is being called, will also resemble an open-sourced management system in line with one of its competitors called Moodle, ZDNet reported.
"I'm also hearing from my unnamed source above that SharePoint 15 and Exchange Server 15 are both also getting additional built-in information-rights-management document-protection functionality as part of the base products," Foley wrote.
As businesses await the newest release of SharePoint, more organizations are using the current version more than ever. According to a study conducted by enterprise content management provider OpenText, 50 percent of companies surveyed said they are employing SharePoint 2010, compared to 43 percent that still leverage the 2007 software.

Recently, some prego friends have mentioned things going on in their lives that have brought to mind how paternalistic we are towards pregnant women. I dug around and found that American women are far more likely to have a child with FAS than a European woman is...yet in Europe, a woman isn't treated like a piece of trash when she has a glass of wine with her dinner. I wondered if maybe this isn't yet another example of our puritanical and paternalistic restrictions causing a more severe reaction than we might otherwise have.
Not that FAS is a minor issue. Of course not. It can be devastating. But so is displaying an unrealistic image of a pregnant or post-pregnant woman, like on the tee vee when a woman gives birth and suddenly voi-fucking-la, her huge ass baby bump is all disappeared and her uterus isn't all HEY MOTHERFUCKERS WHAZZUP SOMEONE BRING ME A FUCKING BURRITO AND THE TEE VEE REMOTE WHILE I MAKE LIKE A FUCKING BEAN BAG CHAIR ON YOUR PELVIC FLOOR. Y'know, since panic ensues when we realize how incredibly huge we're getting, and instead of increasing our daily caloric intake by 500, we're decreasing by 1000 and hoping to gods that the sudden fullness around the face is just the incredible hormones all taking up residence in our skin cells and not actually an indication that it's going to take longer than the usual 9 months to a year to fix the lumpy pile of good our post-natal bodies will be.
Not that I decreased my caloric intake. I lived in Cheez Its and apple juice because it's the only thing that didn't set the yarfing and/or acid reflux into overdrive. And I don't know if you realize, but Cheez Its are not low-calorie. Nor are they healthy. Which is why I drank the apple juice. You know, to offset the pile of shit and chemicals in the Cheez Its. And over yonder, across the pond, the juice was all fresh and had minimal if any sugar added, and there was pulp and shit, so at least there was a little fiber to slow down the BLADOW of sugar and insulin.
Anyway. FAS. What's bad is that in my digging, I found the most ridiculous image EVER CREATED. Ready? Prepare yourself. This is seriously fucked up. Let's see how many ways we can snark the shit out of it, mkay?
Also, they shove a wine glass up their cookie because good moms know to puff, puff, pass.
And also, when your fetus is getting his crunk on, he does so with his head embedded firmly in your ass. Or possibly crowning, since you can be nekkid on these health websites, but we can't show a cookie to confirm. Really, she could probably wait five minutes and let the kid suckle the wine right out of her boobs. Unless this kid's gotta bust alien-like from her thigh to get free of her uterus, which appears to be migrating down her leg.
And is it just me, or is she not a real blonde? I guess OB/GYNs get really good at guessing who's natural and who's not. I wonder if they make a drinking game out of it at work.
Also, I'm guessing from what we can see of her face and her terrible physical anomalies that she's a zombie. And who knows? Maybe FAS is the cure for the zombie virus. Maybe it sets up a road block of crunk-ass ninjas in the placenta and takes those rogue virus DNA strands down.
Hey, CDC! Get on that. FAS blocking zombie viruses across the placenta. You're welcome.

Hahaha! Great photo. I'm currently pregnant and will have a sip or two of red wine from time to time. I offset it by eating organic and using organic beauty products. So far being pregnant has been a great study in American anthropology. It's really interesting to hear people's reaction to a)the fact I have a midwife, b)I want to give birth squatting, and c)that I have NOT had an ultrasound yet, and may not have one until week 20. People can't seem to figure it out, as if I'm some crazy, irresponsible and reckless mom-to-be. Whatever. Women have been giving birth for thousands of years just fine thank you! BTW, have you seen the documentary The Business of Being Born? It's fascinating!

My take on the difference between American and European FAS rates is that European women tend to drink small amounts regularly while Americans tend to binge drink (in other words, there's a tendency here to drink large amounts irregularly because alcohol is not viewed as a normal, daily partaking. It'd be like the difference between having a small slice of cake after lunch every day versus eating an entire layer cake on Friday and Saturday night.)
And yeah, I couldn't believe how many MEN (no woman ever did this to me) thought that my visible pregnancy allowed them to come up and tell me what to eat/not eat, how to act, etc. It's been a while since my last one, but I vaguely recall reacting poorly to such "advice".

"all our base are belong to everyone else"
For this comment alone, I love you.
Personally I stayed away from alcohol completely during my pregnancy. I did get a lot of people and their "helpful" opinions while I was pregnant though. I have selective hearing all the time, but it goes into overdrive when I'm expecting.

Is there a situation that people don't find it's their business to comment? Job, no job, kids, no kids, married, not married....people just can't mind their own damn business about anything. Honestly if it's not a health and safety issue, to each their own. Keep those thoughts in your head.
- November 7, 2011 at 5:58 AM
- Carolyn said...
I think Derpster is exactly right - I suspect the exact reason FAS rates are higher in the U.S. is that so many of us just can't do a damn thing in moderation. If we're gonna drink, we're gonna DRIIIIIINK. And some of that drinking may well be during critical developmental stages, before the women even know they're pregnant.

I'm 23 weeks preggers, and have had a couple of glasses of wine over the course of my second trimester. I was lame, and measured them out to make sure each one (not all on the same night, of course!) was an "appropriate" amount. I sort of had a tendency pre-pregnancy to polish off a whole bottle. I don't make it common knowledge, but you're right ... FAS is higher in America because we like to binge drink here. FAS is more common in babies where the women literally drank and drank and drank. But a couple of glasses here and there isn't going to hurt anybody. PLUS ... it helps my anxiety issues!!!

the mom should have done a keg stand instead so her baby didnt have to drink upside down.
that mom is an asshole.
also i drank wine while pregnant. because i wasnt like oh one drink here and there = bottle of 151, my kid is fine.
people are true assholes when you are pregnant. i told people i was just fat.

The Transplanting of Continental Protestantism
ENGLISH CONTROL OF THE EASTERN SEABOARD WAS NOT DESTINED TO REMAIN unchallenged. During the seventeenth century varied and complex forces in Continental Europe were setting the stage for a mass exodus which would divert the course of American colonial development. Early in that century the desire for political and economic advantage had committed the Dutch and the Swedes to the enterprise of carving out empires in the New World. The empires faded and expired, but from their residues emerged continuing societies which shone as beacons pointing the way to a land of opportunity. A later generation, seeking escape from religious persecution and the disasters of war and aspiring for freedom to propagate distinctive doctrines and to follow a particular way of life, would behold these lights from afar and respond to their invitation.
The wave of immigration from the European continent began in earnest towards the close of the seventeenth century. In 1690, the total colonial population of 250,000 represented largely English stock. English immigration, however, had by this time virtually come to a standstill. The fact that the population had multiplied ten times by 1775 was due in

Heather Mills here to stayHeather Mills has warned her marriage to Sir Paul McCartney "is not going away".
The former model, who is currently embroiled in a bitter divorce battle with The Beatles legend, is tired of being mocked and has branded certain media outlets "a**holes".
Heather's representative Michelle Elyzabeth fumed: "Heather married Paul McCartney, period. It's not going away.
"And during this divorce they (the media) will need access and are not going to get it. They are a**holes. There are limits and they make fun of her. They've crossed the line. They will be sorry."
Elyzabeth also claimed Heather, 39, was "joking" when she urged people to drink rats' milk to help save the planet.
She added to the New York Post newspaper: "She was joking about the rats. But she was serious about the milk. It is very bad for people, especially children. A cow can only give so much.
"Heather was furious over the way the rat story was reported. She told me, 'You can only take so much, then you become numb. Everything I do, people take it apart.' "
Heather appeared at Speakers' Corner in London's Hyde Park on Monday (19.11.07) and urged people to become vegans.
She ranted: "Why don't we drink rats' milk, cats' milk or dogs' milk?
"The startling truth is that animals farmed for meat and dairy are now one of the greatest threats to the planet.
"I became a vegetarian for health reasons. Then I found out about the awful animal abuse in factory farms and dairy herds and became a vegan."
Elyzabeth insists she is pleased to be representing Heather and will do anything to save her reputation.
She said: "I'm so happy doing this, I'll take what comes my way. They want to take me down? I'll take them down with me."
