Ability Office Business is not so much an alternative to Microsoft Office as an homage. An inexpensive option which closely resembles the original. Ability Office has now matured to version 5.0, and the new editions are compatible with Vista, and at only 100MB leaves a relatively light footprint.
This is impressive, because Ability Office is stuffed full of features, comprising Word-clone Write, the self-explanatory Spreadsheet and Database apps, as well as the PowerPoint-like 'Presentation' and a media-management tool called Photoalbum.
Ability Office Business also bundles a vector-artwork program - Draw - and an image-editing app that enjoys layer support and more than 90 image-enhancing filters. Photopaint is no Photoshop, but it makes simple photo fixes such as eliminating red-eye a cinch and will suffice for all but the most demanding of users. And this you don't get with other productivity suites.
Open Write and you enter a word-processing world that's eerily familiar. Compatible with pre-2007 Word, Write looks similar to its Microsoft big brother. Frames and tables are handled with aplomb, and there's all the functionality you would expect: auto correct, spelling and grammar checking, and so on. Crucially, you can export to PDF and even Microsoft's XML paper specification (XPS).
Write saves documents in Ability's native AWW format, as well as a plethora of options including Microsoft Word (97/2000/XP), text files, rich text format and HTML. It won't open or save to Microsoft's latest DOCX, nor the Open Document standard ODT.
The Ability Write interface presents formatting and output options in much the same, simple way as pre-ribbon MS Office, so experienced Microsoft users will have no problem finding their way about. This is a theme that's repeated throughout Ability Office Business, which takes care of ease-of-use at a stroke.
Ability Spreadsheet, for example, will look familiar to Excel users. Integration with Microsoft's program is seamless, and again you can output to PDF and XML. There are more than 250 functions, and 25 different built-in chart types. Indeed, you'd have to be a pretty hardcore spreadsheet junkie to miss MS Excel at all.

Ability Office Business is not so much an alternative to Microsoft Office as an homage. An inexpensive option which closely resembles the original.
If PowerPoint is your main work tool, you may wish to stick with MS Office, however. That's not to say that Presentations is anything but an adequate presentation-creation tool, but Microsoft's powerhouse PowerPoint offers the hardcore presenter more in the way of creativity options.
Ability Office Business comes with free, unlimited support, but via email only. And you don't get a huge amount of documentation in the box. The licence allows for installation and commercial use on two PCs.

- Windows XP/Vista

At £34, Ability Office Business version 5.0 falls between free gems such as OpenOffice and Google Docs, and the ultra-expensive, feature intensive £330 Microsoft Office 2007. But more so than free rivals, Ability is feature rich and will be particularly familiar to MS Office users. It will make a welcome, inexpensive and useful addition to almost every office workstation.

First, my take on the identification of the tug from the film in yesterday's post, it's a model and filmed in New Deal Studios in LA. That would explain the logistics.
So, for today, let's start with Miss Katie . . . outbound last Thursday.
And finally, we return to Miss Katie because two days later, she caught some unwanted attention. Details here.
All photos by Will Van Dorp.
Bravo to the organizers and participants of the 2015 NYC race. It starts with a muster…
which looks different as you shift perspective.
It's great to see race newcomers like Sea Scout Ship 243 out of Rahway NJ, and
By this point, some boats like Robert E. McAllister start to get impatient.
Muster then turns into a procession, filing straight toward the starting line and
showing the colors
as some newcomers catch up.
Next stage . . . it's the tension on the starting line, feet digging into the starting blocks and muscles tensing, sort of.
They're off!
and water starts to cascade away from the bows…
froth by the ton.
But when the quick minutes of the race have elapsed, the first boat down the course is the impatient Robert E. McAllister.
And almost as in a triathlon, the dash down the course changes and the pushing starts.
All manner of paired struggle ensues.
And we need to leave. All photos here by Will Van Dorp, with thanks to Bjoern and crew for my ride.
For as multipurpose as sixth boro waterways are in summertime, my perception is that safety prevails. RORO, barge on a short wire, and canoe stay well apart.
Ditto here with spacing.
PWCs . . I'll never be a fan.
Foreshortening masks the fact that from a vantage point like Fort Wadsworth . . . I can see over 10 miles.
The traditional ship here was launched in 1997; the tug beyond . . . in 2001.
My only question is where that classy yellow sand is going. TZ Bridge?
All photos recently by Will Van Dorp.
But first . . . it's a race, and there are trophies for such categories as best-looking, best mascot, best tattooed crew person . . . . And there is pushing and jostling, for which there are no trophies. But what would you call this?
Step back a hundred and some feet . . . and clearly it's USAV MGen Anthony Wayne LT-803, 5100 hp, and delivered from what is now VT Halter Marine in June 1993. Off her port side is Eric R. Thornton.
From l to r, lining up are Meagan Ann, Houma, Bering Sea, a little of Robert E. McAllister, Buchanan 1, Mister T, and Emily Ann.
Here's a view of Robert E.'s business end under way.
Mako III seemed to carry a different name last year. It began life as an Army ST, although I don't know what number she carried. 66, perhaps?
And they were off. Fells Point, the nearest vessel, is likely the newest boat in the race.
More photos later.
All photos by Will Van Dorp, who is grateful to NYMedia Boat and Bjoern Kils for getting the best positions for photography during the sixth boro's premiere Labor Day event, the 22nd annual Great North River Race organized by the Working Harbor Committee, who also deserve a big round of applause.
Two questions you might have are . . why does the Army have boats, and who was MGen Anthony Wayne? Here are links A and B to answer the first part–please add detail if you know it–and here's the info on General Wayne, sometimes called "mad General Wayne."
From midday . . til dusk. Here between Morris Canal and Battery Park City, Gabby heads south.
Mister T mightily pulls six scows here between
the Williamsburg and the Manhattan Bridges.
Near midtown on the East River, there's an eastbound unit and a westbound one.
Westbound, it's Cheyenne moving crushed cars, and
and–eastbound– Captain Zeke with petro product. By the way, Captain Zeke was moving faster than the uncrushed cars on the highway in the distance, probably because of some unintentional crushing that had happened.
From near Hell Gate now, looking back at Captain Zeke, what a moody city!!

AT&T breach affects 19,000 customers
Online outlaws hacked into an AT&T computer system and stole credit card data on thousands of customers. AT&T has offered to pay for credit monitoring services for those affected.

Risk management
Priscilla Hill-Ardoin, the company's chief privacy officer, said in a statement that digital miscreants hacked one of its computer systems and gained access to credit card information and other personal data. The security breach primarily affects customers who used AT&T's online store to buy DSL equipment.
In response to the breach, the San Antonio-based company notified victims' credit card companies and closed the section of its online store used to purchase DSL products. AT&T also notified customers of the breach by phone, email and traditional mail and offered to pay for credit monitoring services for those affected.
"We recognise that there is an active market for illegally obtained personal information. We are committed to both protecting our customers' privacy and to weeding out and punishing the violators," Hill-Ardoin said.
AT&T spokesman Walt Sharp told the Associated Press (AP) that so far, no cases of fraud have been reported. He noted that routine security monitoring quickly identified the breach. He said investigators are now trying to determine who the culprits are and how they managed to hack into the system.
Sharp told the AP that AT&T's online store for DSL equipment was the only company site to be hacked. DSL subscribers weren't affected.
The AT&T incident is the latest in a long string of security breaches companies have been forced to disclose in the last year and a half.
Close to 91 million records containing sensitive personal information had been stolen as of Aug. 26, according to a list maintained by the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse (PRC).
According to the PRC, some of the more recent breaches involved the following organisations:

The Indiana Court of Appeals has ruled a 38-year veteran with the Bartholomew County Sheriff's Department who lost his job after shooting at another officer with non-lethal training ammunition was not fired for cause and is entitled to unemployment benefits.
In a July 30 ruling, the court affirmed two earlier decisions involving Robbie Amos from the Indiana Department of Workforce Development that Amos is entitled to unemployment benefits.
Amos said he is considering whether the three rulings in his favor about unemployment might make a case for returning to the department or additional compensation, but said he has not made any decision about that.
Sheriff Mark Gorbett said jobless benefits were the only issue at stake in the appeals court.
"This has nothing to do with (Amos') employment, and he's not coming back," Gorbett said. "The Merit Board carefully considered Mr. Amos' case, and after he and his attorney presented their evidence, the board acted to terminate his employment."

Concept cars that offer hints at an automakers "future design" seldom meet reality. And when a production car based off said concept does arrive, it's inevitably grossly underwhelming and indistinct, like a man without his manhood.
Infiniti's Q50 Eau Rouge concept, however, doesn't appear too far fetched. That's because it isn't. It's a realistic attempt at a sportier version of its Q50 sedan, one that Infiniti created for the Detroit Auto Show to gauge reaction amongst the media and public.
Drawing inspiration from the brand's Formula One connection with Red Bull, an asset Infiniti never misses an opportunity to remind us about, the Q50 Eau Rouge could potential hit production as a limited edition, featuring a power output of more than 500 hp.
So why doesn't Infiniti just build it?
Well, public opinion is paramount, but it's not like it remains wildly detracted from the production Q50. Is Infiniti that insecure about its design language that it needs its back patting when it adds a few racier touches to a known quantity?
Regardless, my opinion as a member of the media and apparent human being is that it looks good. I like the carbon front splitter and rear diffuser, and I enjoy the fact that Chuck Norris could fit his entire head in the twin exhaust pipes. I like the suede steering wheel and the red accents. And if it did indeed feature over 500 hp, it could be a rather potent weapon — the type of car Infiniti, a brand without a halo car, desperately needs.
I'm not suggesting the Q50 Eau Rouge is that car, but it's a step in the right direction. However, to truly establish itself as premium, desirable brand, Infiniti needs to fully commit and have faith in the job that it's doing. Right now, that apparently is not the case.

Rated 4.7 out of 5�by 7 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by jay1717 Decent Glove I loved this glove when I first got it exactly 1 year ago and began to break it in. It broke in really fast because of the oils injected into the leather. These oils seemed to make the glove feel much heavier over time compared to other heart of the hide non-dual core models. It also has worn down quickly and the glove has become floppy. And no I did not steam it, that is just the way it has become after playing baseball almost everyday for the last year. I love rawlings and the heart of the hide series but I would recommend the pro mesh or the traditional heart of the hide models before this one. The main pros for this glove are fast break in time and quality leather, but unlike other rawlings top-line gloves, it doesn't have the same durability even if you treat it with respect like I do. February 26, 2014

Zakir Naik
Zakir Abdul Karim Naik was born on 18 October 1965 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, is an Indian public speaker on the subject of Islam and comparative religion. He is the founder and president of the Islamic Research Foundation (IRF), a non-profit organisation that owns the Peace TV channel based in Dubai, UAE. He is sometimes referred to as a televangelist. Before becoming a public speaker, he trained as a medical doctor. He has written two booklets on Islam and comparative religion. He is regarded as an exponent of the Salafi ideology.
He attended St. Peter's High School in Mumbai. Later he enrolled at Kishinchand Chellaram College, before studying medicine at Topiwala National Medical College and Nair Hospital and later the University of Mumbai, where he obtained a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBBS). His wife, Farhat Naik, works for the women's section of the IRF.
In 1991 he started working in the field of Dawah, and founded the IRF. Naik says he was inspired by Ahmed Deedat, an Islamic preacher, having met him in 1987. (Naik is sometimes referred to as "Deedat plus", a label given to him by Deedat himself.) Naik says that his goal is to "concentrate on the educated Muslim youth who have become apologetic about their own religion and have started to feel the religion is outdated". He considers it a duty of every Muslim to remove perceived misconceptions about Islam and to counter what he views as the Western media's anti-Islamic bias in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States. Naik has said that "despite the strident anti-Islam campaign, 34,000 Americans have embraced Islam from September 2001 to July 2002". He says Islam is a religion of reason and logic, and that the Quran contains 1000 verses relating to science, which he says explains the number of Western converts. Some of his articles are published in magazines such as Islamic Voice.
Naik is the founder of the Islamic International School in Mumbai.
Naik has held many debates and lectures around the world. Anthropologist Thomas Blom Hansen has written that Naik's style of memorising the Quran and Hadith literature in various languages, and his related missionary activity, has made him extremely popular in Muslim circles. Many of his debates are recorded and widely distributed in video and DVD media and online. His talks are usually recorded in English and broadcast on weekends on several cable networks in Mumbai's Muslim neighbourhoods, and on the Peace TV channel, which he co-produces. Topics he speaks on include: "Islam and Modern Science", "Islam and Christianity", and "Islam and secularism".
One of Naik's most-cited debates was with William Campbell in Chicago in April 2000, on the topic of "The Qur'an and the Bible: In the Light of Science". On 21 January 2006 Naik held an inter-religious dialogue with Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in Bangalore about the concept of God in Islam and Hinduism. In February 2011 Naik addressed the Oxford Union via video link from India. Every year since November 2007 Naik has led a 10-day Peace Conference at Somaiya Ground, Sion, Mumbai. Lectures on Islam have been presented by Naik and twenty other Islamic speakers.
Naik argues that scientific theories were prophesised by the Quran. For example, he says certain verses of the Quran accurately describe embryological development.
Naik has said that the theory of evolution is "only a hypothesis, and an unproven conjecture at best". According to Naik, most scientists "support the theory, because it went against the Bible – not because it was true."
Naik has said that not all Muslims who convert from Islam should necessarily receive death sentences, but that those who leave Islam and then "propagate the non-Islamic faith and speak against Islam" should be put to death.
Naik's views and statements on terrorism have at times been criticised in the media. In a YouTube video, speaking of Osama bin Laden, Naik said that he would not criticise bin Laden because he had not met him and did not know him personally. He added that, "If bin Laden is fighting enemies of Islam, I am for him," and that "If he is terrorizing America – the terrorist, biggest terrorist – I am with him. Every Muslim should be a terrorist. The thing is that if he is terrorizing the terrorist, he is following Islam. Whether he is or not, I don't know, but you as Muslims know that, without checking up, laying allegations is also wrong." When Time hinted that this remark could have inspired Najibullah Zazi's terrorist activities, Naik insisted: "I have always condemned terrorism, because according to the glorious Koran, if you kill one innocent person, then you have killed the whole of humanity".
In 2010, Naik said that he had been quoted out of context regarding the remarks on terrorism. "As far as terrorist is concerned," he said, "I tell the Muslims that every Muslim should be a terrorist. … What is the meaning of the word terrorist? Terrorist by definition means a person who terrorises. So in this context every Muslim should be a terrorist to each and every anti-social element. I'm aware that terrorist is more commonly used for a person who terrorises innocent human beings. So in this context no Muslim should ever terrorise a single innocent human being."
In a lecture delivered on 31 July 2008 on Peace TV, Naik commented on the attacks of 11 September: "it is a blatant, open secret that this attack on the Twin Towers was done by George Bush himself".
Naik says that propagation of other religions within an Islamic state is forbidden while he appreciates people of other religions allowing Muslims to freely propagate Islam in their country. Naik explains this by saying that, for example, mathematics teachers must teach that 2+2=4 and not 2+2=3 or 5. Likewise, Naik argues, "regarding building of churches or temples, how can we allow this when their religion is wrong and when their worshipping is wrong?"
In 2004 Naik, at the invitation of the Islamic Information and Services Network of Australasia, made an appearance at Melbourne University, where he argued that only Islam gave women true equality. He said the more "revealing Western dress" makes women more susceptible to rape. Sushi Das of The Age commented that "Naik extolled the moral and spiritual superiority of Islam and lampooned other faiths and the West in general", further criticising that Naik's words "fostered a spirit of separateness and reinforced prejudice".
In August 2006 Naik's visit and conference in Cardiff caused controversy when Welsh MP David Davies called for his appearance to be cancelled. He said Naik was a "hate-monger", and that his views did not deserve a public platform; Muslims from Cardiff, however, defended Naik's right to speak in the city. Saleem Kidwai, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Wales, disagreed with Davies, stating that "people who know about him know that he is one of the most uncontroversial persons you could find. He talks about the similarities between religions, and how should we work on the common ground between them", whilst also inviting Davies to discuss further with Naik personally in the conference. The conference went ahead, after the Cardiff council stated it was satisfied that he would not be preaching extremist views.
Naik was denied entry into the United Kingdom and Canada in June 2010. He was banned from entering the UK by Home Secretary Theresa May after arranging to give talks in London and Sheffield. May said of the exclusion order, "Numerous comments made by Dr Naik are evidence to me of his unacceptable behaviour". Naik argued that the Home Secretary was making a political decision and not a legal one, and his lawyer said the decision was "barbaric and inhuman". He also claimed that his comments were taken out of context. Film producer Mahesh Bhatt supported Naik, saying the ban constituted an attack on freedom of speech. It was reported that Naik would attempt to challenge the ruling in the High Court. His application for judicial review was dismissed on 5 November 2010. Naik was forbidden from entering Canada after Tarek Fatah, founder of the Muslim Canadian Congress, warned MPs of Naik's views.
Naik delivered five lectures in Malaysia during 2012. The lectures took place in Johor Baru, Universiti Teknologi MARA in Shah Alam, Penang, Kuantan and Putra World Trade Centre in Kuala Lumpur.The former Prime Minister of Malaysia, Mahathir Mohamad, prominent figures and several thousand people attended the lectures at different places despite protest by the members of a banned group, HINDRAF. The organizers of Naik's speeches said their purpose was to promote harmony among people of various religions.
Naik was ranked 89 on The Indian Express's list of the "100 Most Powerful Indians in 2010". He was ranked 82 in the 2009 edition. According to Praveen Swami, Naik is "perhaps the most influential Salafi ideologue in India". Sanjiv Buttoo says he is acknowledged as an authority on Islam, but is known for making negative remarks about other religions. Sadanand Dhume writes that Naik has a "carefully crafted image of moderation", because of his gentle demeanor, his wearing of a suit and tie, and his quoting of scriptures of other religions. He is also listed in the book "The 500 Most Influential Muslims" under honourable mention, in the 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 editions. In July 2013, Naik was named as the Islamic Personality of the Year, announced by the 17th Dubai International Holy Quran Award (DIHQA).
In The Wall Street Journal, Sadanand Dhume criticised Naik for recommending the death penalty for homosexuals and for apostasy from the faith. He also criticised him for calling for India to be ruled by Shariah law. He added that, according to Naik, Jews "control America" and are the "strongest in enmity to Muslims." He maintained that Naik supports a ban on the construction of non-Muslim places of worship in Muslim lands as well as the Taliban's bombing of the Bamiyan Buddhas. Dhume argues that people reportedly drawn to Naik's message include Najibullah Zazi, the Afghan-American arrested for planning suicide attacks on the New York subway; Rahil Sheikh, accused of involvement in a series of train bombings in Bombay in 2006; and Kafeel Ahmed, the Bangalore man fatally injured in a failed suicide attack on Glasgow airport in 2007. He concluded that unless Indians find the ability to criticise such a radical Islamic preacher as robustly as they would a Hindu equivalent, the idea of Indian secularism would remain deeply flawed.
The Times of India published a profile of Naik entitled "The controversial preacher" after he was banned from the United Kingdom. According to The Times, "the fact is that barring the band of Muslims whose bruised egos Naik suitably massages through his Islam supremacist talks, most rational Muslims and non-Muslims find his brand of Islam a travesty of the faith". The Times also claimed that "the Wahabi-Salafist brand of Islam, bankrolled by petro-rich Saudi Arabia and propagated by preachers like Naik, does not appreciate the idea of pluralism". The article quotes Muslim scholar Wahiduddin Khan: "Dawah, which Naik also claims to be engaged in, is to make people aware of the creation plan of God, not to peddle some provocative, dubious ideas as Naik does". He adds: "The wave of Islamophobia in the aftermath of 9/11 and the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan have only added to the Muslims' sense of injury. In such a situation, when a debater like Zakir Naik, in eloquent English, takes on preachers of other faiths and defeats them during debates, the Muslims' chests puff with pride. A community nursing a huge sense of betrayal and injustice naturally lionises anyone who gives it a sense of pride. Never mind if it's false pride".
Indian journalist Khushwant Singh says he "disagree with almost everything has to say about misconceptions about Islam". Singh argues that Naik's pronouncements are "juvenile", and said "they seldom rise above the level of undergraduate college debates, where contestants vie with each other to score brownie points". Singh also says Naik's audiences "listen to him with rapt attention and often explode in enthusiastic applause when he rubbishes other religious texts".
Torkel Brekke, a professor of religious history in Norway, calls Naik a "very controversial figure" because of his rhetorical attack on other religions and other varieties of Islam. He writes that Naik is "strongly disliked" by many members of the Indian ulema for ignoring their authority and stating that anybody can interpret the Quran. Conservative Deobandi mullahs have accused Naik of "destroying Islam" by driving Muslims away from the correct religious authorities.
Khaled Ahmed criticised Naik for "indirectly support" Al-Qaeda by referring to Osama bin Laden as a "soldier of Islam". In 2008 an Islamic scholar in Lucknow, shahar qazi Mufti Abul Irfan Mian Firangi Mahali, issued a fatwa against Naik, saying that he supported Osama bin Laden, and that his teachings were un-Islamic.
Praveen Swami considers Naik to be a part of the ideological infrastructure created to feed "Tempered Jihad", which he defines as Jihad calibrated to advance Islamist political objectives. Swami argued that some of Naik's teachings are similar to those of organizations advocating violence, although Naik himself emphatically rejects terrorism. According to Swami, Naik's IRF has proved to be a "magnet" for figures linked to the Lashkar-e-Taiba, while his message has mesmerised violent Islamists, and his works "help make sense of the motivations of Indian recruits to the jihad."

The Air Presto's been around since 2000 . But as mentioned previously, the shoe was conceptualized as early as 1996, which now makes it 20 years. Aside from the overall package – lightweight, comfortable, and fashion forward, the Presto had so many other things going for it — the 't-shirt sizing', the cool nicknames, and the fact that it debugged the idea that you didn't have to be a bulky shoe to have 'Air'.
As we await the return of the Air Presto this May (and a lot more headed our way), check out the original 12 – the first 12 Nike Air Presto colorways, with their cool nicknames and even cooler ads Nike created for them.

Looking For a UnderWater Grass?
Ive seen countless pictures of FW tanks with the bottom completley covered with this stuff that looks like grass but under water.
I really want to have my tank bottom covered with plants. Any Suggestions ? The grow pattern im looking for is short (but dont mind trimming) Fast growing Plant that covers Almost or all of the bottom of the tank. Thrives in 6,500k lightning. I Use Ferts but dont wana mess with a CO2 System unless i really have to. Thanks in advance.
Also if i have my light on for a longer time does that make the Plants grow faster?
check out swordgrass or dwarf swordgrass.
no leaving the lights on longer will only cause algae to grow faster. in a planted tank your going to want your lights on for 6-8 hours
What about Hair grass?
What about it?
How well does Hair Grass or Micro Sword Grass Grow?
I don't know about growth rates on hair or micro sword grass but I do have guppy grass and it grows like a weed. I love it and think my fish do too!
Auntie You Should post Pics. :D ITS MANDATORY WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR lovely tank.
Hummm. You're right. I do have tank pics posted but I realize they don't show the guppy grass. I'm going to try and take some pics tonight of the grass. I like the guppy grass cuz it grows planted or floating and it's bullet proof. At least so far....
try looking up chain swords. These things will spread out eventually on their own in various clumps, it looks quite nice after a couple of months of good growth.
With that lighting you can have anything you want! Look @ www.aquariumplants.com under ground cover microsword narrow leaf is my fav and probably the most reliable and no trimming.Dwarf hair is expert level and wont tolerate shade from another plant, now dwarf subslata is a LL weeping 3-5" hard to get going, if you like fast growing or instant beauty microsword is good and it's sold in 6 or12" sq.inch pieces for easy planning. AP is the least expensive.

WTF... lol
Focusing on the Battle of Stalingrad and surrounding operations, Heroes of Stalingrad allows the player to experience one of the most brutal battles in all of human history. For the first time ever in a first person shooter gamers will be able to experience WWII from the Axis side in a German single player campaign. As always with the Red Orchestra franchise, Tripwire will aim to deliver unrivalled accuracy and attention to detail, along with gritty, vicious combat in multi-player, co-op and solo modes.
WTF... lol
grandpa has some serious issues with trippin :P
1:17, why did I see origin on the screen? Little subtle hint there or something?
Origin PCs, not EA's Origin.
lol that was awesome :D
As much as I love RO and will continue to do so... I find this a little disrespectful :(
It's just lost a little of the magic... in the sense that a serious game (it is a sim more or less) has made light of the war and it's consequences...
I'm still buying it
I lol'd
Epic indeed
nice should get people interested.
Hahahah win
I agree with Volcol on this one....Sigh
warning: this game gives you Post-traumatic stress disorder and WWII flashbacks.
In soviet Russia, we speak english with phony accent "laek dis"

With a diagonal-part and pushed-over bangs, Kristin Chenoweth's smooth blowout is neatly pinned back on the sides.
Styling Tip
Apply a quarter-size amount of styling lotion onto damp hair. Use the flat edge of a paddle brush to blow dry two-inch sections while pulling hair straight with each stroke. Once dry, set a sleek finish by smoothing a flat iron over half-inch sections. Create a diagonal-part and push your bangs to one side. Take a two-inch section of hair above each ear and pin them together in back. Spritz with hairspray to lock in your look.Try on celebrity hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!

Defeating the Ursa Minor by StalinTheStallionWatch
©2012-2016 StalinTheStallion
Random burst of inspiration after watching "Boast Busters" and voila.
Twilight look totally epic here, not to mention that light effect is really great.
Wow, the Ursa came out great! And even though the view is behind Twi, she seems so confident in this image - if that makes sense.
I think the Ursa was bigger in the episode, but I don't think it matters, because it looks so fierce in this picture.
Actually, i measured Ursa's size and it came out as that
I think it was bigger in that scene where it stood up behind a house and roared. But hey, it was standing on its hind legs in that scene, so it probably just looked bigger.
Always favorite Twilight being a badass.
I really love it! X3
A mild inconvenience for Twilight's evening.
Exelent work. I like how you were able to detail shade. Something i could only do with a pencile.
Very nice!
There should've been more images like this, but strangely they were only a few. Nice work on this, looks cool.
Wow, great picture! I love the lighting the most, how you refused to white out the magic and kept it that nice purple, how the Ursa is just the right amount of see-through, and how the darkness in the rest of the picture just sucks your eye right into the middle. It's really amazing. Wonderful job.
Mind. BLOWN
Easy, to be honest. Sketch. Stroking and filling in adobe flash. Lighting and shading in photoshop. Stars, moon and magic effects = photoshop brushes. It's easy when you try
This is so epic!
Amazing detail! I love it!

How much time should I take for my maternity leave?
I'm not sure how much time I should take for my maternity leave. My mate wants me to stay home for six weeks. This is my first child and I'm not sure whether that'll be too little or too much time. How do I figure out what's right for me?

choosing to be a working mother is no sin. I have two beautiful, energetic, healthy well adjusted sons (6 & 4). I took 6 weeks off with my first son and was ready to return to work by week seven. With my second son, I took 12 weeks off. Less motivated to return to work but I was glad I did. I am expecting my third child and again, will return to work. I enjoy working and don't feel it has hindered my parenting or my children in any way!!!! I was fortunate to find a sitter in my neighborhood who runs a small day care in her home. She is absolutely wonderful and has added so much to my children's lives. Furthermore, my son's have learned to be independent and sociable due to the interaction they have had with other children at an early age. Don't be guilted by returning to work!!!! Six weeks is the norm for recuping after having a baby and adjusting to your new bundle of joy.posted 01/12/2004 by marcel350
I recommend to stay home as long as you can! I have a 10 year old from a previous marriage and now am expecting my 2nd child from my current marriage. I was able to stay with my 10 year old for his first 2 years and I treasure the memories and enjoy telling him abt the special and unique things he did during the first 2 years. I would have stayed home longer but his father and I separated and I had to go to work. Trust the comments that you read here from one mother to another the first years are the most amazing and you can never relive them no matter how many kids you have each is special in their own way. Take as much time as you possibly can. With this baby I am shooting for 6 months but praying for at least a year! Enjoy the treasure of your new baby first hand if you can instead of having someone tell you what wonders he/she discovered that day.posted 01/12/2004 by redfoxx73
Hi, I'm pregnant with my first baby and i think it would be best for you and your baby to take off as much time as you feel you need, I'm still in school and by the time i have my baby i'll have only about less then a month left and i just don't know what to do cause it will be too hard for me to do all that the first couple weeks so i was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on maybe what i should do??? If u can u can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com, thanks!!posted 01/12/2004 by SwtStuf2005
Re: FMLA question from Melissa: (a) An ``eligible employee'' is an employee of a covered employer who: (1) Has been employed by the employer for at least 12 months, and (2) Has been employed for at least 1,250 hours of service during the 12-month period immediately preceding the commencement of the leave, and (3) Is employed at a worksite where 50 or more employees are employed by the employer within 75 miles of that worksite.

Where I work, I can have 6 weeks but they aren't paid unless I have accrued sick leave. Even though it may be financially stressful for awhile to be out without pay, my husband and I both think that it's worth it to be out as long as possible!posted 01/12/2004 by akpsych
I would request as much time as they allow off and then go back when you are ready. I also would like to say I respect what some Mom's are saying on this board about staying home with your baby indefinitely, that you'll regret it if you don't..... But not everyone is fortunate enough to BE ABLE to stay at home with their kids. I am married and am pregnant with my second. With my first I went back full time to work when he was 7 weeks and this time I plan to do about the same. It was hard yes, but there are those of us that don't have the option to not return to work. We are not a poor family, but we are not wealthy and we can not live on my husbands income alone like many other families. We don't "blow" our money and we still could not afford to live off of 1 income. So don't let the Mom's that make you feel terrible for thinking of returning to work get to you. Your child will know you love him/her regardless.posted 01/12/2004 by Tan00
To Single Mom, Maybe try your government aid. Try calling the Dept of Public Aid in your state. You may be able to get medical benefits, food stamps, and maybe other stuff. Also try the WIC program if your county has it. They provide stuff too.posted 01/12/2004 by momclm
This is my 2nd child (due in April) and I am planning on taking 15 weeks off. 12 of FMLA (the full amt) and I'm going to ask for an additional 3 weeks. Then I am going to go part time the first week back to get adjusted to working again and so the baby can get adjusted to day care. I wish I could take off longer! I didn't work with my first and was home with him for 18 months. Financially we can't do that now, but I think 6 weeks is too soon. If you have FMLA, use the 12 weeks they give you. My short term disabilty only pays 5 weeks of my time off, but it'll be worth it to stay home for 3 1/2 months with my baby. I can't imagine leaving her at 6wks old. To the UK ladies, you are sooo lucky to have such a good maternity program where your employers/government care about the family more than profits! Take as much time as you think you will need to bond with your baby. They need that mommy/daddy connection while so young.posted 01/12/2004 by momclm
Don't forget to consider how much time off you might need before the baby comes. Depending on your job, you may not be physically capable of working right up to your due date. My job requires me to stand on my feet in one place for a 12 hour shift (I'm a pharmacist) and I couldn't do it anymore starting 6 weeks before my due date. I'm planning on taking 6 weeks off after she arrives as well. I'm fortunate that my husband is going to be Mr Mom when I go back to work so we don't have to put her in daycare... makes going back to work easier.posted 01/12/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Wow!! I cannot believe the comments I'm reading, regarding the length of time people are considering to take for mat leave....4wks? 6wks? 10wks? Unbelievable!! I'm Canadian, and live in British Columbia. Until a few years ago, the federal law allowed employees to take up to 6 months for Maternity Leave. In 2001, the federal gov't changed their policy, which now allows employees to take up to 1 year for Maternity Leave. While on maternity leave, we are eligible to collect "employment insurance", which equates to approx. 55% of your income to a max. of $360/week. With my first child I took 8 months off, and my husband took the remaining 4 months off to spend with our son. We are now expecting our second child in July 2004, and I plan on taking the year for myself. Although our personal taxes are higher in Canada when compared to the U.S., I feel extremely fortunate to live in a country which supports a strong social system.posted 01/12/2004 by D.Bordin

Historian Heather Thompson named to National Academy of Science advisory panelHistorians in the News
Heather Ann Thompson, professor of history in the Department of African American Studies and the Department of History at Temple, has been named to a National Academy of Sciences panel to study the causes and consequences of high rates of incarceration in the United States. The two-year, $1.5 million project is sponsored by the National Institute of Justice and the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation.
Thompson, the only historian named to the panel, is writing the first comprehensive history of the Attica Prison Rebellion of 1971 and its legacy. She is also the author of Whose Detroit: Politics, Labor and Race in a Modern American City (Cornell University Press: 2001).
The 18-member panel of leading scholars and experts, chaired by Jeremy Travis, president of John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, will examine the reasons for the dramatic increases in U.S. incarceration rates since the 1970s. Currently, more than 2.3 million people are behind bars in American prisons and jails at any one time, representing one of the highest incarceration levels in the world....

Twitter, people keep telling me, has become a vitally important tool for restaurants to keep in touch with their fans, their friends and their regulars. I follow maybe 50 different local restaurants on Twitter. 50 or 60, plus some of the bigger out-of-state operations, a few from back in Denver, and a couple chefs who have feeds of their own. I check in not religiously, but probably four or five times a week, looking specifically for restaurant news, interesting happenings, updates and what-have-you. I would maybe check a little bit more often, except for one thing.
No restaurant ever has anything interesting to say on Twitter.
Or almost never, anyway. Soups of the day, drink specials, 10% off chowder if you say the magic word, 140-character shout-outs to hot girls on the deck and wine tastings of Argentine malbecs with three seats still open, score!
I understand that this is all about community building. About keeping your name out there in a highly competitive environment and pimping up your weekly vegetarian menu offering, but still. Most of it is as dull as dirt, a constant, bandwidth-sucking recitation of autumn pumpkin soup, cask tappings and announcements for the Women's Community Dance Class that, when taken all together, read like some kind of over-plastered cork board in the hippie coffee shop. Excepting location updates by the food trucks, it's incredibly rare for any restaurant to actually use Twitter for something interesting.
Until now.
Canlis will be turning 60 in December. Canlis has a Twitter feed. And as briefly mentioned in yesterday's Morning Food News, Canlis has figured a way to put those two things together and finally use Twitter in the way that its developers intended: as a way to host a high-tech, city-wide scavenger hunt with cheap lobsters as the prize.
From the folks at Canlis:
"A lot as changed since the restaurant's opening six decades ago, not the
least of which is the price of a good meal. To celebrate with the city,
Canlis is inviting Seattle to experience the restaurant's hospitality at
prices from 1950.
But there's a catch.
To order off the 1950 menu, guests will need to have one. That's where
the hunt begins..."
Every day (except Sunday), brothers Mark and Brian Canlis will be putting out a clue as to the location of one of 50 signed 1950's-era Canlis menus hidden around the city. The clues go out via the Canlis Twitter feed and Facebook page, and then all you have to do is puzzle out the clue, find the menu, bring it into Canlis before December 11, 2010 (the actual 60th birthday of the restaurant), and you can get a four-course meal for around ten bucks. We're talking a whole broiled lobster for $4, filet mignon for $4.25, marinated herring in sour cream for seventy-five cents and a Canlis salad (for two) for just $2. For you history buffs out there, you can see a copy of the entire menu from back in the day right here. It's actually a very cool document--a window into the fine dining scene from before a lot of us were born and a look at how we all used to eat when it was jacket-and-tie time.
Canlis has already given up two clues and both menus have been found. Clue #1 was simply "Squash a Beetle in your hand," and the menu was found behind the VW tire held by the Aurora bridge troll. Clue #2 was a picture, and that menu was snagged from the stacks at the Central Library.
Today's clue has yet to go up, but I know people are waiting anxiously. Hell, it's even got me checking in to Twitter a bit more often than normal.
Speaking of which, I really should go check again...
UPDATE: Today's clue has been promised to come right at noon--something I found out via Twitter.

Fort Polk Soldiers home at last
January 16, 2009
Palpable excitement and anticipation have permeated the Joint Readiness Training Center and Fort Polk as Soldiers from the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, and 142nd Combat Sustainment Support Battalion, 1st Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, return home after a 13 to 14 month deployment in support of the Global War on Terror.
Soldiers from 4/10 began arriving on the installation Dec. 31, ushering in the new year. About 3,400 Soldiers from the 4/10 are expected to return by the end of January. The brigade deployed in November 2007 for combat operations in Iraq. As 4/10 units return home, welcome ceremonies and family reunions are held at the Youth Services Gym, bldg 2070. Ceremony times are posted in advance on the Joint Readiness Training Center and Fort Polk web site at www.jrtc-polk.army.mil.
On a New Year's Day ceremony, Army spouse Mary Lambert patiently waited at the YS Gym for the troop-laden bus to arrive from the Alexandria International Airport. Accompanied by son Mikey, 9, and daughter Mylidia, 3, Lambert was looking forward to reuniting with her husband, Spc. Andrew Lambert, 94th Brigade Support Battalion, 4th BCT, 10th Mtn Div. "It's about time," she said. "I can't wait to see him. We want 'our daddy' back," said Lambert.
Yolander Ashford was also waiting with the throng at the festively decorated gym carrying her 15-month old nephew, Tigaye. Together they watched the gym door for a glimpse of the boy's mother, Spc. Hettie Robinson, 94th BSB. "He was only four months old when she left," said Ashford. "This is her first child and I am glad for their reunion today."
Capt. Jason Deel, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment, 4/10, was among the busloads of returning Soldiers. His bright smile was an indication of joy his to be home. "I am looking forward to spending time with my Family," he said. "This was my third Christmas deployed. Now I'm glad to be home."
Jan. 5 at 1:45 p.m., Fort Polk celebrated the return of Soldiers from the 142nd CSSB, 1st MEB. With apparently abundant anticipation and intense emotions, Family and friends waited anxiously for battalion Soldiers to walk through the doors of the balloon bedecked 1st MEB Gym Members of the battalion have been deployed for about 15 months.
One of the Families waiting for their Soldier was the Henrys. Patti Henry, spouse to Maj. Doug Henry, and mother of two excited boys, waited for what seemed to be never-ending minutes to see her husband and welcome him home. "I'm a little nervous and anxious right now. I'm about to cry," she said. Sons, Gavin, 11, and Liam, 5, wore white T-shirts decorated with welcome home messages for their dad. "We made our shirts, but Liam had some help from our Mom," said Gavin.
For the Henry boys, the separation from their dad for the past 15 months was the most difficult challenge. "It's hard to have three people in your house when you know you are supposed to have four," said Gavin. Making up for lost time is high on Gavin's list of priorities now that dad is home. "We made 'Fun with your son' tickets. My mom came up with that idea. Liam and I can pick whatever we want to do with dad. We are excited to do that," he said.
Another spouse eager for a reunion was Kat Fresh, whose husband is Maj. Pate Fresh, executive officer for 142nd CSSB. Kat didn't seem to be worried about overcoming the challenges that some Families face after long deployments. "My husband and I know each other well enough after 14 years of marriage that reintegration should be an exciting adventure, but it shouldn't be a problem for us," said Fresh. These two already have plans to get away and relax. "We want to visit some friends and go to Disneyland. We are big Disney people," said Fresh.
Then, the wait was over. As Soldiers began to enter through a side door, the crowd burst into cheers, whistles and applause. Once in formation, the audience settled down for the short ceremony, which included a prayer of thanks for the Soldiers' safe return, the playing of the national anthem and a few words from Col. David Sage, garrison commander.
"To the 142nd CSSB, on behalf of Brig. Gen. James Yarbrough, JRTC and Fort Polk commanding general, welcome. It's about time you got home," said Sage. Then he turned to their loved ones. "Welcome to your Family and friends -- husbands, wives, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. Thank you for what you've done over the last 15 months. In this difficult time, you gave the love and support required for our Soldiers to focus on their mission," said Sage.
Sage concluded by praising the Soldiers of the 142nd CSSB for their accomplishments. No more than two minutes after he began, he ended with these words: "Since I'm senior guy, I say this ceremony is over. Husbands, wives, mothers, fathers and kids, find your Soldier," said Sage. A pandemonium of hugs, kisses, thanks and well wishes ensued. After kissing his wife, Fresh summed up with simple words what many of the Soldiers were probably feeling: "It's great to be back. I'm ready to be home," said Fresh.

Every week, we here at Voracious World HQ scour the city, the suburbs and the world to come up with all the most riveting and important food news happening anywhere that two people might sit down to eat. And while next week is going to be a little bit abbreviated (we're taking Labor Day off to
Oh, don't we all... sit on the couch and drink in our underpants spend some time with our families and loved ones), this week was true to form. We had everything from the weird, international cuisine at Ruby Restaurant on the Ave (bright and early on Monday morning) to a tale of Baltic Sea sunken treasure in the form of 200-year-old beer and champagne (late Friday afternoon). Between those two poles came everything else we thought might interest, amuse or educate you, our faithful readers.
Here's the highlights...
Meanwhile, it was food trucks, food trucks and more food trucks early in the week as we wrote about Marination Mobile's quest to be named America's Favorite Food Truck (and snag a spot of the Food Network), Matthew Lewis and his truck, Where Ya At Matt, got some Grillaxin' love, and then a double-dose as the Surly Gourmand also weighed in and gave Lewis and his truck a 10 out or 10--something I've never seen before.
Where Ya At Matt wasn't the only Seattle operation getting double-coverage this week, either. Early on, the Seattle Food Geek took us all along for a sneak peek inside the secret Modernist Cuisine kitchen where Nathan Myhrvold and Chris Young created all the experiments detailed in their $600 cookbook of the same name. And then, a couple days later, we posted an hour-long video of a talk given by Myhrvold and Young at UW on heat transfer, liquid nitrogen, giant worms, dinosaurs and why a burger tastes like a burger. Believe it or not, this was incredibly fascinating stuff--though granted, you've got to really be ready to geek out before you sit down to watch that lecture.
After that, we had Happy Hour at the Atlantic Crossing, trivia night at the Rat and the Raven, hash browns fried in bacon fat at Blueacre Seafood, local winners from the American Cheese Society's annual competition, some news about Volunteer Park Cafe and their complaining neighbors, Seattle's Top 5 Jell-O shots and some stuff about booze--namely that drinkers outlive non-drinkers by a very large margin according to the greatest medical research study in the universe.
Whew... That's a lot of stuff.
But wait, there's more. Taco Time became a patron of the arts. Sexy Feast brought in a little Asian flavor. We found a way for pirates, Midwesterners and Green Bay Packers fans to all drink together in peace, then ruined your ears and eyeballs forever by showing you The Fried Chicken Song--a video you watch once and are haunted by forever after.
After that, we had news from the backroom of the Seattle Weekly Homebrew Competition and more news from our very own neighborhood where John's Wok closed with no warning this week, leaving us screwed for places to buy packs of smokes and salty hangover cures.
Did you know that it's National Bourbon Heritage Month? It is. It's also almost the end of the season, so score those organic strawberries while you can. If you're a more inside-y kind of person, though, maybe you could watch George Clooney kill a bunch of people after a fast dinner at the West Edge Market, or maybe just dream about sampling one of the dozen-odd bottles of 200-year-old champagne just rescued from a shipwreck in the Baltic Sea. Those who know are thinking that these are going to go for tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars apiece when they finally go up on the auction block, so you might want to start saving now. Just sayin'.
And that, my friends, was our week. Remember, it's going to be a short one next week, but we'll all be back on Tuesday morning with all the food news you need to make it through your busy days. So long 'til then, and have a great Labor Day weekend.

Lawn and Garden sales of $200 million reflected the impact of divestments which will significantly improve the profitability of the business. Excluding both acquisitions and divestments sales were unchanged.Mike Mack, Chief Executive Officer, said: "Business momentum was sustained in the first quarter of 2013 despite adverse weather in March delaying northern hemisphere plantings. Farmer sentiment remains strong and we will continue to drive innovative offers through a commercial organization which is now fully integrated in all territories. For the full year, we expect the impact of currencies and chemical raw materials to be broadly neutral and cost efficiencies to help offset lower licensing income and higher production costs in seeds. We also expect to generate significant free cash flow and sales growth in line with the target for our eight key crops of $25 billion in 2020."

Trace services, employees could be affected by sequestration
NATCHEZ — Visitors to the Natchez Trace who need to take a bathroom break along the way might not have as many opportunities to do so in the coming year.
Administrators at the Natchez National Historic Park and the Natchez Trace Parkway are making plans to cope with the loss of funding that will result if Congress does not reach an agreement that will stop automatic spending cuts by Friday. The cuts — part of the fiscal sequestration set to go into effect March 1 — can only be stopped by a Congressional agreement, and are anticipated to affect many federal services, including the National Park Service. With less money, administrators say they'll have to scale back services.
"Everything is impacted, and we will do the best we can to avoid compromising our resources or safety or the visitor experience," Natchez National Historical Park Superintendent Kathleen Jenkins said. "We are pretty good at doing great things on a shoestring, but we can't work miracles. You have got to have people and finances. Any cut will impact our mission."
Along the Trace, that means the park service will have to close down all of its comfort stations at least one day a week, including the stations at Cole's Creek, Mount Locust and the Rocky Springs campground near Port Gibson, Natchez Trace Parkway Acting Superintendent Dale Wilkerson said.
The Trace would also see its seasonal workforce reduced by approximately a third.
"Some of our part-time staff we may not be able to employ," Wilkerson said. "We will strategically work the numbers we are given so that we can do the best we can throughout the entire parkway, maintaining appropriate park levels within our available funding."
Jenkins said the Natchez park management is putting contingency plans in place in case the automatic cuts go into effect, but she declined to discuss what those contingencies are.
"We are making plans just in case, but I am in the dark about what the loss of funding might be as much as anybody else until the end of the week," Jenkins said. "It is just speculation, and of course it is not good speculation. We hope it doesn't happen."
The Natchez National Historical Park includes Melrose and the William Johnson House. The NPS also has long-term plans to incorporate the site of the former French Fort Rosalie into the park.
If sequestration goes into effect, Wilkerson said changes wouldn't likely happen immediately. Instead, the park service would have to make appropriate reductions to its budget until meeting the target set for the end of the fiscal year, which is Sept. 30.
"We won't do anything — probably — on day one," he said. "We would formalize those numbers and then start implementing our plans so that we can hit reduction target by year's end."

"I was browsing the internet looking for new Electro music when I came across hit American sensation's the LEL Brothas. The more I investigated this music trio, I found out they are truly a Hip Hop group. The unique thing about the LEL Brothas is that even though they are a Hip Hop group, their music crosses many genres! For instance they have had their hit song "Hatas" placed on hit Video game "Rock Band 3". Also they have major Electro versions of their music, remixed by DavidDance, that have been showcased on Ibiza's top 25 of 2012 "Hot Tunes" Albums. The LEL Brothas are truly amazing and are currently touring the world! They just finished the Middle East and will be in Ireland this June for the "Beautiful Vision" music festival presented by Youbloom."
