I just spent almost $30 for my fishing license. I planned on going out to Battle Ground Lake, go fishing and have a nice restful day. And guess what? The state now wants $11.50 a day or $35 a year for a "Discover Pass" just to go into the park to fish from the shore for the fish in the lake that were planted with my license fees. What a joke. All of this just to park your car. I'm not even using the park facilities. Something has to be done.

Oklahoma City Thunder: San Antonio must solve its Serge Ibaka problem
The Spurs crossed the Red River with a commanding 2-0 lead, no Serge Ibaka to contend with and the majority of NBA followers labeling them as an indefensible force rolling its way to a likely rematch with Miami.
Now, San Antonio flies south in a 2-2 deadlock, looking sluggish and overwhelmed by the Thunder athletes, unable to solve the Ibaka riddle and facing legit 2012 flashbacks that seemed far-fetched just 72 hours ago.
Oh, what a difference three days and two games make.
So what happened to turn this thing? Why has the momentum been completely flipped? How did the Spurs suddenly go from unstoppable to uncompetitive?
"That's a great question," a confounded Tony Parker said following the Spurs' 105-92 Game 4 loss on Tuesday night.
And it's one the Spurs must solve in the coming days, or risk a surprising end to a promising postseason run that remains at risk of being the last of the Tim Duncan era.
To find the answers, San Antonio must confront the problems. And that starts with Ibaka, the biggest tangible difference between the first and second pair of games.
Far more than an emotional lift, the once hobbled Ibaka didn't even flash a limp on Tuesday, leading a transformative defensive effort that has stonewalled the Spurs attack. San Antonio had 120 paint points the first two games, while the Thunder had just six blocks. The Spurs struggled to find only 76 paint points the past two games, while OKC compiled 18 blocks.
Seven of those came from Ibaka, OKC's game-changing rim protector who the Spurs kept unsuccessfully challenging at the summit.
"I thought about passing a picture out on the bench so they'd know who Serge was," Gregg Popovich joked postgame. "Really unwise basketball all of a sudden. Instead of hitting the open people that are out there, we started attacking the rim unwisely."
"Pop is right," Parker said. "We have to keep moving the ball and find the open shooter."
But with Ibaka patrolling that back line, the reinvigorated Thunder perimeter defenders have been freed to press up on threes and get physical with cutters. Russell Westbrook was the ringleader on Tuesday, unleashed to gamble and wreck havoc, compiling four steals in the second quarter and five of the Thunder's 12 on the night.
The Spurs were outscored 21-0 in fast-break points and had no answer for the intensity, physicality, speed and athleticism.
"If we let them push us around and are not strong with the ball," San Antonio's Manu Ginobili said, "that's when they get us on our heels and we stop attacking the way we do …We were again slower. It looked like we were a different speed, like we were in slow motion and they were going fast and strong."
Against the Thunder, San Antonio's old legs have again popped up as a potential problem. But after a season full of limited minutes, the Spurs starters rested plenty in Oklahoma City.
Facing large deficits and led by a dictator with occasionally radical tactics, the Spurs starters were benched for a majority of both fourth quarters.
"Thursday," Popovich said as reasoning for his extensive use of the mop-up crew.
Thursday — when San Antonio returns to its safe haven with a chance to solve these sudden problems and save its season.

Senate refusal to vote on Housse bills.
Published: Thursday, November 7, 2013 at 6:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 7, 2013 at 6:58 p.m.
I am sick and tired of the U.S. Senate refusing to vote on House Bills. Harry Reid should let the bills go to a vote. No single individual should have the power to stop bills from going to a vote. Not in the House and not in the Senate. But I am particularly mad at Reid because he will not allow any House Bill to be voted on just based on party politics. The worst thing that happened in 2010 was Reid getting re-elected.

Reviews for Winning Apple Crisp
"Love this! It's my go-to apple crisp recipe. I do also cut down on the sugars and go heavy on the apples and it is delicious. Love the way the crust/topping gets a little chewy/crispy. Sometimes I double the recipe in a 13x9 for company."
"Very very sweet, even with cutting the sugars in half."
"I thought it was amazing and will definitely make it again. I cut the whole recipe in half because I made it for just two people. I will probably cut back on some of the sugar also."
"This was an awesome apple crisp, followed suggestions and cut both sugars in half. Loved the bottom crust !"
"Even though I gave this recipe 5 stars, I think there is WAY too much sweetness with 2 cups of sugars. Fantastic recipe and this is definitely a keeper. I will just decrease the amount of both white and brown sugar the next time!"

This is a division of application Ser. No. 392,311 filed Aug. 28, 1973, now U.S. Pat. No. 3,962,869.
The present invention relates to equipment for the exhaust gas detoxification of internal combustion engines including at least one thermal or catalytic reactor within the exhaust system.
It is well known in exhaust gas systems that the part of the system which includes the reactor is located remote from the internal combustion engine itself in order to avoid exhaust gas heat being transferred back to the internal combustion engine which would impair its cooling; in addition, there is rarely enough space for mufflers or reactors within the engine compartments of motor vehicles. In such an arrangement, the exhaust gas has normally cooled off somewhat when it reaches the reactor, resulting in inefficient operation of the reactor especially during the warm-up phase of the internal combustion engine. Furthermore, the difference between the inlet and outlet gas temperatures of the reactor is quite high which, when applied to the entire thermal operating region, leads to considerable thermal stresses in the material as well as to a non-uniform treatment of the exhaust gas.
It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide exhaust gas detoxification equipment of the above type wherein the reactor temperatures are similarly as high as those which prevail in the exhaust manifold of the engine.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a favorable temperature equalization within the reactor.
It is a still further object of the present invention to achieve, by simple means, a favorable operating temperature in the reactor during the warm-up phase of the internal combustion engine.
The above and other objects are achieved according to the present invention in that the regulation of the heat distribution is accomplished by means of a heat pipe having three sequential zones: an evaporation zone; a transport zone thermally insulated with respect to the outside; and a condensation zone. The heat pipe further contains a radially permeable capillary inner tube which internally conducts the working medium in vapor form streaming toward the condensation zone and externally helps to conduct the working medium in liquid form to flow towards the evaporation zone. Heat is absorbed by the fluid working medium in the evaporation zone of the heat pipe and is transported nearly isothermally to the condensation zone in the reactor where the working medium condenses and subsequently flows back to the evaporation zone as a consequence of capillary forces (surface tension) within the capillary tube. By the use of such a heat pipe it is possible to achieve a relatively high heat transport rate at practically constant temperature. The device described is a heat flow transformer which operates independently of the existence of a gravitational field.
According to a favorable embodiment of the present invention, the region of the heat pipe containing the evaporation zone is located in the vicinity of the exhaust valves of the internal combustion engine, whereas the region of the heat pipe containing the condensation zone is disposed within the reactor. It is advantageous to make the region of the heat pipe containing the transport zone flexible and especially to conduct it outside of the exhaust pipe. By a suitable development of the heat pipe within the reactor, it is possible to reduce the temperature gradient within the reactor material both in the axial or stream direction as well as in the radial direction, because the temperature drop within the heat pipe is very small even in the condensation zone. In order to achieve a favorable temperature compensation, the region of the heat pipe containing the condensation zone can be equipped, on the side exposed to the exhaust gas, with heat conducting guide surfaces, such as ribs, fins, sheet metal cells, flow-reversing vanes and the like, in thermal contact with and disposed both longitudinally and transversely to the heat pipe. The effect of these additional elements is further enhanced if, according to the invention, at least one secondary heat pipe is provided in the exhaust system, especially if developed as fins on the primary heat pipe. In that case, the region of the secondary heat pipe containing the evaporation zone should be in thermal contact with the region of the primary heat pipe containing its condensation zone.
In order to achieve favorable operation of the reactor and especially in order to avoid overheating, the heat pipe can function as a temperature regulator. To this end, according to a further embodiment of the invention, the length of the effective condensation region is alterable. For this purpose, the heat pipe can be connected, at the end which lies opposite the evaporation zone, with a container filled with, especially, noble gas. In that way, a separation zone is formed transversely to the axis of the heat pipe, between the active condensation zone and the noble gas zone. The temperature regulation makes it possible to use only a minimum of catalyst material because the working surfaces can be made smaller on account of the improved temperature equalization. When a noble gas is used, the temperature within a certain range remains constant and independent of the amount of heat transported at a value where the vapor pressure corresponding to this temperature is equal to the noble gas pressure. A change in the amount of heat transported, therefore, only produces an axial shift of the separation zone between the working medium and the noble gas, and therefore causes a change of the length of the effective condensation region of the heat pipe (the surface giving off heat). If the gas pressure is unchanged, however, then the temperature of the heat pipe also remains unchanged. An ideal gas container would be infintely large and for this reason, according to the invention, the volume of the gas is changeable and the container is preferably made in the form of a folding bellows, but other displacement bodies can be used. The regulation can be further influenced in that, according to the invention, the condensation region of the heat pipe partially protrudes out of the reactor and is preferably provided at this free end with cooling fins. During a suitable temperature change, the separating zone migrates into this protruding region, thereby accelerating the process of condensation.
Another embodiment of the present invention provides, for the purpose of heat regulation, a second, independently acting heat pipe within the exhaust system. The primary heat pipe serves for heating the reactor and is especially developed as a double coaxial pipe where the annular space enclosed by the pipes contains the working zone. The second heat pipe is located so that, for purposes of temperature regulation, its evaporating region extends into the inner pipe of the primary heat pipe which carries exhaust gas.
According to yet another embodiment of the present invention, a heat pipe in the form of a double-walled pipe surrounds the reactor in sleeve-like fashion and its evaporation zone is in thermal contact especially with the reactor working surface, whereas its condensation zone is exposed to ambient air.
If the working medium is suitably chosen, the reactor transports heat to the outside only after it has achieved a favorable working temperature. The working medium could be, for example, sodium which has a boiling point of 882° C. Only when this temperature is reached does sodium begin to evaporate and above this temperature, the heat pipe transports heat to the outside by means of its condensation zone. In this process, use is made especially of the fact that, during the transition from the solid to the liquid state of an element (for example, sodium, potassium) or of a compound (salts and the like) as well as during a transition from the liquid to the gaseous state, isothermal conditions (constant temperature) prevail during the heat transport process until the entire working medium has achieved the new state of aggregation. Because a solid salt, for example, is a poor heat conductor, the heat pipe acts as a thermal insulator with respect to the outside (radiation shield).
FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic layout of an internal combustion engine including exhaust gas detoxification equipment according to one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view which illustrates the transport zone of the heat pipe according to one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 3 is an isometric view partly in cross section illustrating the condensation zone of the heat pipe according to one embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 4 is a view partly in cross section illustrating a reactor including the condensation zone of the heat pipe according to another embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 5 is a view partly in cross section illustrating a reactor including the condensation zone of the heat pipe according to yet another embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 6 is an isometric view of still another embodiment according to the present invention illustrating a reactor and a primary and secondary heat pipe disposed transversely to each other.
FIG. 7 illustrates partly in cross section still another embodiment according to the present invention according to which the heat pipe surrounds the reactor in sleeve-like fashion.
FIG. 8 illustrates partly in cross section still another embodiment according to the present invention according to which the heat pipe surrounds the reactor with a condensation region at each end thereof with the evaporation zone therebetween.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a first embodiment of the invention shows an internal combustion engine 1 supplied with air through a suction tube 2 whose free passage is controlled by a throttle flap 3 actuated by a gas pedal 4. A fuel supply pump 5 and a fuel metering assembly 6 cause fuel from a tank 7 to be added to the intake air. The exhaust gases of the engine 1 are gathered in an exhaust manifold 10 and are led through an exhaust pipe 11 to a reactor vessel 12. Within the reactor vessel 12, a final combustion of the uncombusted remnants in the exhaust gas takes place, and the exhaust gas then continues through a pipe 13 to the atmosphere. In order to transfer the high exhaust gas temperature prevailing in the exhaust manifold 10 to the reactor 12, a heat pipe 14 is provided. The heat pipe 14 has three regions, namely, an evaporation region 15, a condensation region 16 and a flexible transport region 17. The heat pipe 14 is disposed in such a way that its evaporation region 15 lies within the exhaust manifold 10 and its condensation region 16 lies within the reactor 12. Between regions 15 and 16 extends the flexible transport region 17 which can lie outside of the exhaust system and which is thermally insulated from the atmosphere. This flexible region 17 is shown enlarged in FIG. 2 where a capillary inner tube is shown formed by a helically wound wire 18. The outer jacket 19 is constructed from suitable thermally insulating material. A wire mesh tube or a wick or the like may be used instead of the helical wire tube. In order to achieve a favorable heat distribution and heat conduction, region 16 in FIG. 1 is provided with ribs 20 between which metal sheets in the form of fins 21 are disposed whose surfaces are covered with an evaporated catalytic material, for example, platinum, and around which exhaust gas flows as shown by the arrows. The fins 21 are stacked as shown and mounted to the ribs 20 in a conventional manner.
By a further embodiment shown in FIGS. 3, 4 and 5, an improvement of the heat transfer process can be achieved by providing, in addition to the primary heat pipe already described, several secondary heat pipes whose evaporation region is in positive thermal contact with the condensing region of the primary heat pipe. In FIG. 3, the condensation region 22 of the primary heat pipe is provided with radially extending secondary heat pipes 23 whose evaporation region is fixedly connected with the region 22. The secondary heat pipes 23 can either be installed in the form of many small pipes whose longitudinal axes extend radially from the axis of condensation region 22 or they can be disposed parallel to that axis. In either case, each secondary heat pipe has its own capillary tube and operates as a closed system.
FIG. 4 shows a reactor 24 and a region 25 of the heat pipe 29 which extends out of the reactor 24 and is provided with cooling fins 26. This end of the heat pipe 29 communicates through a pipe section 27 with a container 28 filled with noble gas. As in the heat pipes previously described, the operating medium of the heat pipe is evaporated in the evaporating region which is not shown in FIG. 4 and flows within the heat pipe 29 to the reactor 24 and from there to the region 25 where it undergoes condensation. The condensate is subsequently carried back to the evaporator under the influence of capillary forces due to the capillary tube 30. Between the zone of condensation in the heat pipe 29 and the noble gas there is formed a relatively sharp separation in the form of a separating layer 31. A change in the amount of heat carried causes only a shift of the zone of separation between the working medium and the noble gas, resulting in a change of the effective heat-exchange surface area in the condensation region of the heat pipe. Now, if the amount of heat transported changes, but the gas pressure remains unchanged, then the temperature of the heat pipe also remains unchanged. Hence, within a certain temperature range, and independently of the transported amount of heat, the temperature of the heat pipe 29 adjusts itself so that the vapor pressure of the medium corresponding to that temperature is equal to the gas pressure.
In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the exhaust pipe 11 is provided as shown with flow-scoops 57 which produce the swirling flow of the exhaust gas shown as it approaches the reactor 24. In the reactor 24 there is provided secondary heat pipes 23' similar to those described for the embodiment of FIG. 3. Also, the reactor 24 is provided with ribs 12' between which the fins 21' are mounted to effect the purpose described in the embodiment of FIG. 1 with respect to the fins 21.
FIG. 5 shows a reactor 32 in which a heat pipe 33 is developed as a double-walled pipe through whose inner pipe 34 exhaust gas is admitted and is then reversed and flows through the catalyzer region 32' and, finally, around the exterior of the heat pipe 33 and beyond. A capillary tube is disposed in the space 33' between the pipes 33 and 34. For the sake of clarity, however, this capillary tube is not shown. Nevertheless, it should be noted that this capillary is similar to that already described. An evaporation region 35 of a second heat pipe extends into the inner pipe 34 from the terminal side of the condensation region 36 and is developed as the sensing finger of the evaporation region 35 of a second heat pipe. The condensation region 36 of the second heat pipe, which is equipped with cooling fins 37, partially protrudes from reactor 32 and communicates with a gas container 38. In this way, the temperature of the exhaust gas streaming through the inner pipe 34 can be held within certain limits before it reaches the catalyst because of the variable heat transfer rate to the secondary heat pipe.
In a further embodiment depicted in FIG. 6, a reactor 40 is shown having a primary heat pipe 41 and a transverse secondary heat pipe 42. The primary and the secondary heat pipes have a thermally conducting connection at their intersecting region 43. On both of its end sections, the secondary heat pipe 42 is equipped with folding bellows 44 and 45 which are filled with different noble gases, making possible a different temperature control.
The evaporation region of the secondary heat pipe 42 lies at the intersectiong region 43 whereas the condensation regions lie at the folding bellows 44 and 45. A separating layer 46, 47 is formed between each noble gas and the working medium. By external mechanical means, the gas pressure in the bellows 44 and 45 may be changed in order to further influence the temperature regulation.
In order to rapidly achieve a favorable operating temperature of the reactor, and in order to avoid having too much heat carried off to the outside, there is disposed, in a further exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 7, a heat pipe 48 which surrounds the reactor 49 in a sleeve-like fashion. This heat pipe is provided either as an addition to or independently of the previously described heat pipe leading to the exhaust tube manifold. This heat pipe 48 is preferably filled with a working medium which is a solid at temperatures lower than a favorable reactor operating temperature and which becomes a liquid or a gas in the favorable operating temperature range. Suitable materials for such media are, for example, several salts, such as strontium fluoride, potash, soda, potassium fluoride, lithium fluoride, sodium chloride etc., as well as pure metals, such as sodium and potassium; in any case, media whose melting point or vaporization point lies in the region of the optimal operating temperature of the reactor, here for example between 800° and 900° C. Only the evaporation region (or melting region) 50 of the heat pipe 48 is in contact with the reactor 49, whereas the condensation region 51 (or fluid zone) is cooled by ambient air. As long as the favorable operating temperature has not been reached, the working medium acts as a thermal insulator or heat shield (the solid material acting as the insulating material). However, when the melting or vaporizing temperature in the working medium has been surpassed, and before temperatures might be reached which would endanger the material in the reactor, the fluid circulating within the heat pipe lowers the higher temperature by heat transport. Just as is the case for the main heat pipe 34 in FIG. 5, the heat pipe 48 is embodied as a double-walled pipe wherein a capillary pipe is disposed in the space 48' between the inner and outer walls.
Another exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 8 operates on the same principle as does that shown in FIG. 7. In contrast thereto, heat pipe 52 has a condensation region 53 at each end, whereas the evaporation region 54 communicates with reactor 56 through the action of heat contact bridges 55 onto which it is press-fit.

Everything comes as pictured and is wearable. My hat was too small so I'll have to see if I can match fabric and make a new one. I'll probably adjust the collar a bit too because it's way too wide. other then that, it was a decent purchase for the money although I probably would have made it myself if i didn't receive the gift certificate i was given.

I received the costume today when I arrived home! It is beautiful and definitely worth the money! The only slight disappointment would come from the strap that wraps around (the one with the pouch attatched). It is a little big and kind of hangs down when worn :( the other belt also doesn't have a place to tuck it in after you put it through the buckle and the loose end hangs down. Other than that, it's a very beautiful costume! Thanks a million!

With the complete set of this costume I became totally just like Link in the Legend of Zelda. My money is not gone to waste because the costume is worth it its price. Imagine with that cheap price you can have the complete set of this costume and with good quality too.

Dig beneath the surface of the Republican presidential race and you will find deeper turmoil: Four in 10 GOP voters have switched candidates...
WASHINGTON — Dig beneath the surface of the Republican presidential race and you will find deeper turmoil: Four in 10 GOP voters have switched candidates in the past month, and nearly two-thirds said they may change their minds again.
Mike Huckabee, who has roared to a tie with Rudy Giuliani, has little reason to feel safe, according to an ongoing national survey conducted for The Associated Press and Yahoo News.
Half of all voters — including four in 10 Republicans — know too little about Huckabee to say whether they have a favorable impression of him, let alone whether he is conservative, liberal or moderate. That could be ominous, because it gives his rivals the opportunity to define him.
The Democratic side is less chaotic, with Hillary Rodham Clinton maintaining a clear lead nationally over Barack Obama, though voters are shifting.

- Trump, Clinton win Washington state primary

About one in five backs a different contender than in November, and nearly half say they may settle on someone else, according to the poll conducted by Knowledge Networks.
Giuliani defends 9/11 images in ad
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Republican Rudy Giuliani on Thursday defended a campaign ad that uses images from the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, saying other candidates have relied on similar pictures.
The television ad features images of firefighters at Ground Zero on Sept. 11. The tragedy made the former New York mayor a national political figure.
"It's a part of my life that helps define me. It's not the only thing that defines me," Giuliani said, adding that he also has run ads about his record as mayor.
The one-minute spot is scheduled to air beginning today on cable's Fox News Channel and in Florida and New Hampshire.
Paul hopes to get Tancredo supporters
DES MOINES, Iowa — Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul on Thursday said he expects to gain support from people who previously backed Tom Tancredo because of his tough stand against illegal immigration.
Tancredo, a Colorado congressman, quit the race for the Republican nomination Dec. 20. Although Tancredo endorsed former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Paul said many of those people are turning his way.
Paul opposes creation of a path to citizenship for immigrants in the country illegally, and he supports construction of a fence along the Mexico border, installation of more electronic surveillance and an increase in border patrols.

Attorney killed by ex-husband in Oklahoma City murder-suicide
Freda Cross took all the legal steps she could to protect herself after her ex-husband's alcoholism spiraled out of control, but it wasn't enough, her
The Edmond attorney was shot to death by her ex-husband Tuesday before he turned the gun on himself, police said. Cross recently had filed a protective order claiming she was being stalked and harassed.
Hours after he was released from jail Tuesday following his latest
McCreary pulled up next to his ex-wife's car with the driver's side windows facing each another and shot her multiple times. McCreary then shot and killed himself, police said. The state medical examiner ruled it a murder-suicide.
"She was a dear friend and good attorney and a good mom among many other things," Buergler said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with her family."
Buergler said Cross was talking to a friend on her cell phone when she was shot.
McCreary, who had worked in real estate, had a long history of alcohol abuse which worsened late last year, said his attorney, Dan Murdock.
Cross filed for divorce in October, ending the couple's 10-year marriage.
"I know the divorce came about as a result of the alcohol abuse," said Murdock, who said he knew McCreary for more than 30 years.
"I think Mike accepted that he had a problem, but it was uncontrollable and he just couldn't or wouldn't do anything about it."
Divorce final in January
After the divorce was finalized in January, Mc
Beginning Feb. 16, McCreary began harassing Cross by repeatedly calling her and driving past her home, Cross stated in the application for a victim protective order. She said McCreary called her home and office at least 20 to 30 times a day between Feb. 16 and Feb. 22.
Documents with the protective order Cross filed on Feb. 24 state that a day earlier McCreary showed up drunk at her house and rang her doorbell, yelling that he needed money. He also dumped empty liquor bottles and beer cans in her yard, she said.
Shortly after a March 10 hearing on the protective order, McCreary turned over his gun to Murdock by order of the court. Murdock said he did not know where his client got another firearm.
McCreary was arrested Friday in Oklahoma City on a public intoxication complaint, had another alcohol-related arrest in Bethany and was arrested on another driving under the influence complaint Sunday morning in Perry, Murdock said.
Murdock said he last spoke with McCreary on Tuesday after he was released from jail.
"Mike was talking with me about treatment, about doing things to deal with the issue," Murdock said. "He struggled with alcoholism his whole life."
Shot near office
Buergler said Cross called a close friend Tuesday evening to say her ex-husband was following her. Cross' office at 4808 N Classen is about two miles away from where she was killed.
"If I know Freda, she pulled over and did not get out of her car because she was going to ask him to please stop following her," Buergler said.
Cross was still on the phone when McCreary pulled out a pistol and started shooting, Buergler said.
Jesse Thogmartin, who lives next door to the scene of the shooting, said he was in his backyard, heard five to seven gunshots and dove for cover behind a cinder-block building next to his wooden stockade fence.
One of the bullets left a hole in the fence and a mark where it struck the building Thogmartin was hiding behind.
"You can't explain it," Murdock said. "You can't do anything but have such sorrow at the effect that it has had on everyone."

Breaking point
If you have not received a short break, and feel like you can no longer cope, it is important to get help as quickly as possible - the most important thing is to tell someone how you feel.
If you feel as if you are getting close to breaking point there are some things that you can do:
- Make sure that you tell someone who knows you how you are feeling as you may need help to find a way through.
- Make an appointment to see your GP, as if you are close to breaking point it is likely that your own health will be affected.
- Contact staff who already know you, such as teachers or day centre staff, and make sure that they know how much you need a break.
- Contact emergency social services - there will be a duty social worker and a number to call in the evenings and at weekends. You can get this number from Directory Enquiries.
Sometimes I just want to run away. It's not just the present that is stressful, it's the future as well.
Who to call
- contact Careline on 0845 122 8622 who provide a confidential crisis counselling service
- contact the Samaritans who are available 24 hours a day on 0845 790 9090
- contact the Mencap Direct on 0808 808 1111

Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns
Question from CheriaRose
How can I see how much friendship level I have instead of flowers?
I want to know how much I've gotten like on Harvest Moon Grand Bazaar it was on the assets, but now how?
5 years ago
Top Voted Answer
Unfortunately it's not the same as it is on HM: Grand Bazaar, the only way you can tell your friendship is the flowers on the chat box. That's the only way i found so far, if you want a guess on it look at fugo.com it might help you out
5 years ago
Pretty sure that the person above meant fogu.com instead of fugo.com
In any case, I have not seen any evidence that you can see any information on the characters' relationships and their friendship levels other than the flowers on the speech box. If you want more information, the link below is a good reference, in my opinion.
I haven't played Grand Bazaar, but I do not believe there's any other method of gauging relationships in Tale of Two Towns. Still, I'd take a look at the link above.
Hopefully this helps.

Check the website above this answer. It will tell you how much friendship points for each flower in the conversation box with all characters in the game. I was stumped on that when I first played the game after buying it. Trust the website and look through it for flower events. I know this will help you in the future in your game play.

IT is a matter of some interest to playwrights that the first notions or rudiments of The Tempest, of all his plays the least local and circumstantial, should have been drawn by Shakespeare from a contemporary event. The enchanted island, the storm, the wreck, the miraculous preservation, and the sad meeting of the diminished fleet0--these, the recognizable first elements of the play, by a process which, when we speak of Shakespeare, we feebly call magic, were imported by the dramatist from life. It was in the summer of 1609 that this tempest rose and fell, driving the Admiral ship of the Virginia fleet with all hands on the Bermudas. Nearly a year passed, and they had long been given up for dead, when the whole party, Admiral and all, appeared one day in two vessels of their own building on the coast of Virginia. They had had a miraculous escape, 'not a soul perished'; and had emerged from the perils of an island which was, they declared, most certainly enchanted and the home of devils.
They returned to England, where they were received with much wonder and thankfulness, and their strange narrative was eagerly read. It was read by Shakespeare, who instantly perceived the possibilities of an adventure so richly compounded of Providence, magic, and the sea. 'His mind and hand went together.' Last autumn's tale was still fresh in men's minds when in 1611 The Tempest was finished, and down for performance before the king. In these matters, it would appear, there are no rules, but only genius and happy casualty.
The story of the play is distinct from these foundations, and

Castilian independence...Castile expanded during the 9th century but remained a fragmented collection of petty counties, whose rulers were nominated by the kings of Asturias and Leon, until the counties were united by Fernán González (d. 970), the first count of all Castile. With him the political history of Castile begins. He made the new county hereditary in his family and thus secured it a measure......encountered increasing hostility from the Castilians. As a frontier people hardened by exposure to the dangers of daily Islamic raids, they were disinclined to bow to Leonese tradition and law. Fernán González (c. 930–970), the count of Castile, defied Ramiro and established the foundations for the later independence of Castile.
conflict with Ramiro II...Córdoba in Muslim Spain. In 944 he negotiated a five-year truce with the caliph ʿAbd ar-Raḥmān III. He failed, however, to suppress the Castilian separatist movement led by Fernán González, the first count of unified Castile, a region that eventually came to dominate Spain militarily, politically, and linguistically.
defeat by García I Sanchez...and Queen Toda Aznar. He owed his throne to the support of his cousin ʿAbd ar-Rahman III, the Umayyad caliph of Cordoba. The end of his reign was taken up with wars against the count of Castile, Fernán González. Sancho I of Leon, deposed by the Castilian, took refuge in Navarre; García took to the field and in 960 managed to capture the famous Castilian, holding him...

Amiable romantic comedy "Starter for Ten" charts a greenhorn freshman's first loves and mixed fortunes on TV quiz show "University Challenge" during the post-punk mid-'80s, when social commitment and black leggings were all the rage. Showcasing the considerable talents of ubiquitous thesp James McAvoy ("The Last King of Scotland," "Penelope") and several other up-and-coming Brit actors, pic garnishes fairly standard college-set plot with wit, warmth and unexpected turns. "Starter" will score most B.O. points in Blighty, but could have modest success offshore with anglophile and young auds, especially if marketing successfully exploits nostalgia for the period.Pic's title is a catchphrase from "University Challenge," an authentic long-running quiz series pitting teams of four students from one institution of higher education against another. Originally based on America's "College Bowl," "University Challenge has become something of a national institution in the U.K. Observing class rivalry in action is one of the key attractions of the show, especially as teams from the poshest universities, Oxford and Cambridge, tend to win the championship regularly. In line with screenwriter David Nicholls' original novel on which the pic is based, class is a palpable but not overplayed. Pic's hero is a working-class Essex-boy, Brian Jackson (McAvoy), who's always wanted to prove his smarts. When he's accepted to Bristol U., a respected but mid-ranking English institution, he is automatically crossing a class line that will estrange him from his single-parent mom (comedienne Catherine Tate, affecting) and ne'er-do-well best friend Spencer (Dominic Cooper). At a party, he meets willowy but earnest Rebecca Epstein (Rebecca Hall, daughter of legit helmer Sir Peter Hall), whose idea of fun is to attend protest marches. Brian's head is also turned by stunning, high-WASP blonde Alice Harbinson (Alice Eve, daughter of the actor Trevor Eve), whom he meets at a try-out for the school's "University Challenge" team. Script by Nicholls' and helming by feature debutant Tom Vaughan (whose resume includes episodes of TV series "Cold Feet" and several short films) seamlessly lace together the romantic, quiz-show, and Essex-background subplots to build to a surprise that's refreshingly out of line with the underdog-victory outcome such fare usually supplies. If there are life lessons here, they're harsh ones — although they're taught with a gentle, forgiving spirit. Youthful, ebullient tone is not dissimilar to producer Tom Hanks' own directorial effort "That Thing You Do!" (1996), while pic's slick tech package and expensive soundtrack of '80s hits self-consciously invokes John Hughes' teen comedies of the period, like "The Breakfast Club," but with an overlay of brittle, British humor. Although nearly all the actors in the ensemble look a little too old to pass for college students, thesping is uniformly fine. The protean McAvoy, who's actually 27, once again proves to be a magnetic presence on screen despite the fact he's not a conventional male beauty. It's not hard to see why either woman would be attracted to him, despite his geeky manner. Both femmes, Hall and Eve, invest characters with intelligence as well as good looks, but for sheer comic brio, Benedict Cumberbatch proves the scene-stealer as priggish team captain Patrick.

NCHornet thanks for the info.
I do not mind the extra wait time. This is my second K & D holster great quality and workmanship. Ordered a belt as well when I ordered the Thunderbird.
I am suppose to have mine in a day or two. I will post some pics then. Yes the extra leather around the mouth will add to the thickness, but it is a must to keep the opening rigid so it doesn't collapse after drawing weapon. This isn't as much of an issue on a OWB holster but it is a must on a IWB. Stay Tuned.
When Seconds Count, The Cops Are Just Minutes Away!!
Carry On!
Nice OWB there! Good taste in a guns, too!
Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me..
-Casting Crowns.
You got your holster yet NCHornet? Got pics?
"Let a man never stir on his road a step
without his weapons of war;
for unsure is the knowing when need shall arise
of a spear on the way without."
My Thunderbird arrived here are pics
I'm all for thin, especially with a thick piece like XD.
I'm real happy with my older Bullard holsters (he has added a similar piece near mouth of his newer ones), but sometimes do need two hands to get reholstered depending on pants, but no biggie to me.
I've never been in a "must reholster quick" situation.
One more week for mine to ship. Got an e-mail reply from Kevin very quickly after sending one to check status on Tue.
Nice Pics and really nice holster Cobra4246. Makes my wait even harder. Just 3 more months... Give us a little feedback after you've given it a try.
I really liked the looks of the Dakota Defender and the Thunderbird Defender as well, really wish they made one for my S&W 5906.
NCHornet did you receive your holster?

Inspiring youth leaders to cultivate health
What are sixth-graders interested in these days? "Cooking!" "Growing food!" "Learning how to be healthier." "Exercising." "Meeting new friends!" These enthusiastic answers came from sixth-grade student leaders in Santa Maria, Calif., when asked by educators from the UC Cooperative Extension Youth, Families and Communities program in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties.
Through an integrated youth-focused healthy living project, called Food Smart Families, funded by National 4-H, the UC ANR 4-H Youth Development Program, and the UC CalFresh Nutrition Education program, 32 fourth- through sixth-grade student leaders were brought together from three schools in Santa Maria, Calif., for a full-day educational retreat that focused on engaging youth to explore their healthy lifestyle interests and see themselves as leaders.
Throughout the day, student leaders experienced physical activity games, learned cooking skills, participated in garden-based learning, and developed their presentation skills. They focused on skill development, as well as transference so that the student leaders could take these activities into their own schools to encourage and teach their peers. For example, the fun physical activity breaks that were incorporated throughout the day modeled games where no one is "out" or excluded, while moving enough to get heart rates up.
In the garden, student leaders learned the basics of growing food and how to lead a garden lesson. Students discussed garden tools and how to use them safely, then planted their own seeds to take home. The garden session ended with a gleaning of the school citrus orchard where students laughed and enjoyed the fresh air and fresh fruits growing around them. In their own school gardens, the student leaders have offered lessons and tastings to their peers.
By the end of the retreat, the student leaders were excited to take the information and skills back to their schools and start leading. Students shared their plans to help other students be more active during recess, be healthy, and help other kids be healthier too.
"This was the best day I have ever had," said one of the students.
Through the efforts of the Food Smart Families program, the Youth, Families, & Communities program in San Luis Obispo & Santa Barbara counties merged the strengths of the UC CalFresh Nutrition Education program and the UC ANR 4-H Youth Development program to provide new opportunities and experiences for students in this community. With interested and caring adults, these student leaders learned to share their passions for cooking, gardening, and healthy lifestyle with their peers at school and others in their community. The rewards for the school, community and adult allies continue to expand as these inspired student leaders, with strong mentorship and support, take on some of the biggest challenges facing our society and world.
Teens put their food smarts to the test
Grocery shopping can be the most anticipated or the most dreaded necessity of daily life. A trip to the market can end with a smile over the thrill of victory from finding great bargains or end with a frown from the agony of defeat over budget anxieties. For most of us, budget is the primary factor in our food experiences. Low budget or no budget is often the culprit that leads to unhealthy food choices.
University of California 4-H Food Smart Families program with the UC Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center, teens from Parlier High School in Fresno County are teaching Parlier youth ages 8-12 how to get around budget roadblocks on the path to healthy eating. The program uses a "Teens as Teachers" approach, with teens educating younger youth through a series of hands-on, interactive nutrition lessons after school.
Food connections to local agriculture are highlighted through the partnership with the UC Kearney Agricultural Research and Extension Center. The center will host agriculture tours and family nutrition education activities at a Wellness Fair later this month to wrap up the program.
According to recent United States Department of Agriculture studies, nearly 16 million children live in households where they do not have consistent access to food throughout the year.
UC 4-H Food Smart Families empowers families through food knowledge and education to build sustainable solutions that confront food insecurity and improve health. Youth are engaged at a critical age for growing skills and establishing behaviors today that become sustainable, healthy habits for their families and communities tomorrow. Youth learn they can prepare food themselves and parents learn about working together as a family to plan healthy meals.
Thoughtful discussions, and sometimes passionate debates, ranging from whole grain pasta versus whole wheat pasta to the tasty virtues of hummus, mixed with youthful laughter. The teens were pleasantly surprised to discover they had additional budget to spare. Return trips were made to the produce department for more fruit, vegetables and even hummus.
Comments from the teens told the story of their success. "Now I know what my mom has to go through when she's shopping for food," and "Look at my cart. Food Smart Families is really influencing me!" Who knew grocery shopping could be so much fun?
The USDA Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion offers these 10 tips for affordable vegetables and fruits:
• Use fresh vegetables and fruits that are in season.
• Check your local newspaper, online and at the store for sales, coupons and specials.
• Plan out your meals ahead of time and make a grocery list.
• Compare the price and number of servings from fresh, canned and frozen forms of the same vegetable or fruit.
• Buy small amounts more often to ensure you can eat the foods without throwing any away.
• For fresh vegetables or fruits you use often, a large size bag is the better buy.
• Opt for store brands when possible.
• Buy vegetables and fruits in their simplest form.
• Start a garden for fresh, inexpensive, flavorful additions to meals.
• Prepare and freeze vegetable soups, stews or other dishes in advance.
UC's My Healthy Plate article named 'paper of the year'
MyPlate icon clearly shows many Americans how to formulate healthy meals for their families with the proper proportions of fruits and vegetables, protein foods, grains and dairy products. However, UC Cooperative Extension nutrition educators in Central California discovered that the infographic was too abstract for local low-literate families. They embarked on a years-long effort to translate the shapes and colors into a series pictures showing plates filled with healthful, real food.
The concept clicked, so county and campus-based researchers joined together to document the effectiveness of a new curriculum shaped around pictures of properly portioned plates of food to share with nutrition educators around the nation and world. They wrote an article, A Picture is worth a thousand words: Customizing MyPlate for low-literate, low-income families in 4 steps, which was published in the July-August 2015 issue of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior. In 2016, the article was named the "paper of the year" in a category of articles and research programs called "great educational material" (GEM).
In the paper, the researchers shared a four-step process for creating a set of meal photographs that will resonate with families in different communities.
The four steps are:
- Review food patterns and determine meal combinations – This is done by asking clientele what foods they recently fed their families. Once the foods are identified, they can be modified to meet MyPlate recommendations.
- Test meals and take final photographs – Prepare the meals, take photos and test the photos with the target audience.
- Develop and test education messages to accompany photos – Messages should have few words, use family vocabulary and be written for a low-literacy audience.
- Create and test education materials – After the suggested materials are created, they should be tested with the target audience.
The UC Cooperative Extension Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) is using the "My Healthy Plate" materials in reaching out to low-literacy and low-income families in California.
The authors of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior paper of the year are Mical Shilts researcher at UC Davis; Margaret Johns, nutrition, family and consumer science advisor in Kern County; Cathi Lamp, emeritus nutrition, family and consumer sciences advisor in Tulare County; Connie Schneider, emeritus Youth, Families and Communities director for UC Agriculture and Natural Resources; and Marilyn Townsend, UC Cooperative Extension nutrition education specialist in the Department of Nutrition at UC Davis.

USDA puts more fruits and veggies, less sugar in new child-care nutrition standards
Lorrene Ritchie, Ph.D., RD, director of the Nutrition Policy Institute in the University of California's Division of Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR).
"I applaud USDA's decisions to increase servings of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, cereals low in sugar, and healthy beverages, including breastfeeding," said Ritchie, who has devoted her career to the development of interdisciplinary, science-based and culturally relevant solutions to child obesity.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture released new nutrition standards in April for food and beverages served to young children and others in child care settings that participate in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). Through CACFP, more than 3.3 million children and 120,000 adults receive nutritious meals and snacks at day care, afterschool centers and emergency shelters. The final rule is intended to better align the nutritional quality of meals and snacks provided under the program with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
letter of support to USDA.
At USDA's behest, the Institute of Medicine convened a committee of eminent nutrition researchers to develop science-based recommendations for CACFP meals and snacks that meet the challenge of the Healthy, Hunger-free Kids Act of 2010: to align the CACFP standards with the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
"USDA has taken the IOM's recommendations and translated them into nutrition standards that help address obesity and overweight as well as food insecurity. The new standards are straightforward for childcare sponsors and providers and impose no new, added costs," said Ritchie, who is also a UC Cooperative Extension nutrition specialist.
This update to CACFP standards is an important step toward ensuring that young children have access to the nutrition they need and develop healthy habits that will contribute to their well-being over the long term, Kevin Concannon, USDA undersecretary, said in announcing the new standards.
"Research indicates that America's obesity problem starts young, with obesity rates in preschoolers more than doubling over the last three decades and one in eight preschoolers classified as obese," Concannon said. "Since taste preference and eating habits develop early in life, CACFP could play a crucial role in the solution."
Ritchie, who has conducted studies on the impact of policy on nutrition practices in child care settings, thinks USDA's process for developing the new nutrition standards is effective.
"The new meal patterns demonstrate that the process for regularly updating nutrition standards in the federal food programs, using evidence-based IOM recommendations, is working well," she said. "The new CACFP standards should make a significant beneficial contribution to the health and development of the nation's young children."
The NPI director, who has led a push to persuade the government to make water the drink of choice in the dietary guidelines and add an icon for water on the MyPlate food guide, also praised USDA's authorization of reimbursement for the expenses involved in providing bottled water in the rare instances when tap water is not potable.
"UC Nutrition Policy Institute has a special commitment to expanding children's consumption of drinking water," Ritchie said.
The UC Nutrition Policy Institute's mission is to improve nutrition and reduce obesity, hunger and chronic disease risk in children and their families in diverse settings. NPI provides nutrition policy leadership built from UC Agriculture and Natural Resources' numerous research, and education activities, and works in synergy with research and outreach efforts being conducted throughout the University of California system.
Why we need a finger on the pulse of these California crops
The International Year of Pulses. But you may not know what pulses are or California's role in the pulse industry.
Pulses are leguminous crops harvested solely for the dry seed. They include dried beans, lentils, and peas – those staple, nutritious and humble foods that our ancestors began cultivating more than 10,000 years ago.
The United Nations strives to raise awareness about pulses through its slogan, "Nutritious Seeds for a Sustainable Future." The goals: to draw attention to the protein power and health benefits of pulses, to encourage global food-chain connections to better utilize pulses, to boost the global production of pulses, to better utilize crop rotations, and to address the challenges in the trade of pulses.
In California, farmers, the dry bean industry, and UC Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR) researchers are doing their part with research and outreach programs that focus on dry bean production. Our state produces four classes of dry beans, including garbanzos (chickpeas), limas (baby and large), blackeyes (cowpeas), and common beans (such as kidney and cranberry) planted on a total of 50,000 acres and valued at about $70 million.
While not a big economic force like some crops, beans are nonetheless very important to our farming industry. They are needed in crop rotations to help control weeds and they improve soil health by adding biomass back into the soil after harvest and by fixing nitrogen. As such, pulses can contribute to climate change mitigation by reducing dependence on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers. Beans also are an important part of our food security. For example, California lima growers produce virtually all of our nation's dry limas, as well as 60 to 80 percent of the world's market.
Current UC ANR research focuses on improving integrated pest management of dry beans with minimal impacts to the environment. This includes collaborative studies with UC Davis and UC Riverside scientists to breed pest and disease resistant dry bean varieties that have both high yields and quality. Two new releases of garbanzo beans are expected this year. Additional projects focus on drought and heat tolerance in our warming world.
The new UC ANR Agronomy Research and Information Center website features the many agronomic crops grown in California, including beans. Resources available include current research work, cost of production studies, crop production guidelines, and a database of research supported by the California Dry Bean Advisory Board that goes back more than three decades. Stay tuned for additional resources, including online fertilization guidelines for dry beans, to help develop Farm Nutrient Management Plans, as well as the 2016 Integrated Pest Management (UC IPM) Guidelines for Dry Beans. (Click here for the current IPM guidelines)
Meanwhile, let us all join forces with the United Nations, UC ANR, and our state's Dry Bean Industry to raise the awareness of the benefits of pulses for a more sustainable world. This starts with adding more beans to our diet. Beans are packed with nutrients. They are high in protein, low in fat, and rich in fiber. They can lower cholesterol and help in the control of blood sugar and in managing diseases like diabetes, heart conditions and obesity.
Experiment. Prepare bean burritos often, use a variety of beans in your favorite chili recipe, try humus as a delicious vegetable dip, and garnish your salad with beans. The California Dry Bean Advisory Board website provides terrific bean recipes at http://www.calbeans.org. This we know: beans are pulses vital to our diets, just as our pulse rate is vital to monitoring our health.

Many feel that there is a similarity between "Love Aaj Kal" and forthcoming movie "Cocktail", but co-producer Dinesh Vijan denies it, saying that to ensure that the film has an individual identity, they opted for online medium to introduce it.
"We wanted the film to get its own identity and we went online in a big way. Our trailers went viral. The trailer caught on and the music has done well, which has worked in our favour and the film has promoted itself," Vijan, who co-owns Illuminati Films with Saif Ali Khan, told IANS.
Even though both films are love stories, they have nothing in common except for the team.
"Someone recommended that these days all the sequels are doing so well, so why don't you call it 'Love Aaj Kal 2', so you will get a big opening. But I feel that there is no similarity. The only way you can call 'Cocktail' a 'Love Aaj-Kal' is because it is an 'aaj kal ki love story'. Other than that there is nothing similar," he told IANS.
Imtiaz Ali directed "Love Aaj kal" was a modern-day love story told through the relationship between Saif and Deepika Padukone. Director Homi Adajania roped in the same lead pair along with debutant Diana Penty for his triangular love saga "Cocktail".
Written by Imtiaz, the film, releasing Friday, also has Boman Irani and Dimple Kapadia.
"The team is same. But they have come together to tell a different story," said Vijan.
