Ubisoft tethers multi-platform Watch Dogs until early 2014
Down boys
FRENCH GAMES FIRM Ubisoft is delaying the release of console game Watch Dogs until next spring.
What this means for all those printed Sony Playstation 4 (PS4) bundle boxes we don't know, but we expect that they will sit in storage for a while.
The Watch Dogs development team posted an apologetic note at the Ubisoft website, but said that the delay is a good thing that will produce better results.
"Our ambition from the start with Watch Dogs has been to deliver something that embodies what we wanted to see in the next-generation of gaming," it said.
"It is with this in mind that we've made the tough decision to delay the release until spring 2014."
The delay should result in a much more polished release, said Ubisoft, and it promised to use the time to enhance and refine the game and gameplay.
"We struggled with whether we would delay the game. But from the beginning, we have adopted the attitude that we will not compromise on quality. As we got closer to release, as all the pieces of the puzzle were falling into place in our last push before completion, it became clear to us that we needed to take the extra time to polish and fine tune each detail so we can deliver a truly memorable and exceptional experience," it added.
"We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you. We thoroughly enjoy and appreciate the way you respond on the web, at events, press conferences and other opportunities we have to interact. Your passion keeps us motivated."
Different bundles of the game have been on pre-order for months. µ

By Press Release
Prentiss County Department deputies acted quickly to capture an inmate who was able to escape custody during a stop to have a prescription filled.
At about 12:39 p.m. Monday, an officer had transported the inmate to the Doctor and had stopped by Booneville Discount Pharmacy to have his prescription filled.
While in the Pharmacy the inmate, identified as Matthew Branch Arnold, 24, of Booneville, kicked out the back door glass and and fled on foot.
Witnesses descibed what they saw and provided information that helped us narrow down the scope of our search. The inmate was dressed in all orange and had both leg restraints and handcuffs. He was cuffed behind his back.
After about a hour of searching Deputy Keith Lovell spotted him attempting to cross a ditch that runs East and West between Metro Cast Cable Company and Unity Broadcasting. He then eluded searching Officers by hiding, crawling under an overhang in the ditch bank with the only thing visible being his nose up.
Detective Jerry Bridges with the Booneville Police Department spotted the murky water and looked closer and recognizing Arnold almost completely submerged under the overhang. He was taken back into custody at 1:49PM. Prentiss County Sheriff's Office,Booneville Police Department, Northern District Constable Sammy Henderson, the Prentiss County Coroners Office and a host of other volunteers assisted in the search.
Arnold was being held since June 13th on Burglary and Larceny charges stemming from a burglary of a building in Booneville. His bond had been set at $5,000. He will be facing additional charges of Felony Escape.

SPX, INDU, and BKX: Can We Draw a Conclusion From These Fractured Markets?
By Jason Haver Feb 28, 2013 10:00 am
Three important markets have fractured.
Another market that has now gone its own way is the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI). INDU made a new high yesterday, and SPX often follows suit. So we have BKX, SPX, and INDU each doing their own thing. SPX presently seems to fall right in the middle of the two, so hence my conjecture that a retest or marginal new high followed by a decent reversal is in the cards. This proposal actually matches the INDU count quite well, as the present rally leg does appear to be the final fifth wave in INDU's series.
INDU's rally is presently corrective (an ABC), and has not yet formed five waves at micro degree.
Click to enlarge
The long-term INDU chart notes the approach of the previous all-time-high. If INDU clears 14,200, then there is simply nothing left as far as horizontal resistance, so we have to watch theoretical overhead resistance levels in the form of trend lines/channels, etc..
Click to enlarge
Another ratio I track is SPX:TLT, and this ratio gave a warning signal a few weeks back. I didn't publish it at the time because my other indicators weren't yet validating it. I think it's time to pay a little more attention to this now, though please be aware this doesn't necessarily argue for an "end of the world" type decline -- but it does suggest that what we've seen in SPX so far may be only part of the corrective picture.
Click to enlarge
In conclusion, I may be a little early warning about these signals since it's entirely possible that a fifth wave rally is underway in SPX and that will take us up to new highs rather directly. However, I wanted to emphasize that things are not as clear-cut as they may appear. Ideally, one or more of these signals will clarify in the next few sessions. Trade safe.

Philadelphia salon, Bronzed Airbrush Tanning, is offering an eco-certified and organic approach for a natural-looking and safe sunless tan to every client.
Unlike tanning beds that vent harmful ultraviolet rays (with excessive use resulting in premature aging of the skin and possibly skin cancer), Bronzed Airbrush Tanning uses an ingredient in its solution called dihydroxyacetone (DHA) to darken the skin.
Our solution is fragrance free, paraben free, and alcohol free... The main ingredient in our airbrush tanning solution is DHA, which is derived from sugar beets and cane and has been approved by the FDA for external use since 1977," said salon owner and operator Rachel Solomon.
While some may have bad thoughts of sunless tans, like the Friends episode where Ross gets a hilariously awful tan by the talking machine, you can be certain that Bronzed Airbrush Tanning won't leave you standing out in the crowd in the wrong way. They use highly trained technicians to customize the look of each individual client, avoiding streaking, unnatural coloring and virtually any mishaps that could otherwise occur using do-it-yourself methods or spray machines.
With a five-star Yelp average, the reviews speak for themselves. Most clients write about how the technicians make them feel comfortable during the entire process, and simply how great they look afterwards.
It's also satisfying to know that there's a way to look Red Carpet ready while keeping your green-geared psyche at peace.

Example: You have been awarded a $100,000 grant. You have transferred $5,000 previously and now wish to transfer another $7,000. The initial transfer of $5,000 was allowable without consent from the Grantor because it did not surpass the cumulative threshold of 10%; however, the second transfer will bring your cumulative transfer amount ($14,000) over the 10% mark of the Grant total ($10,000), and would require approval from the Grantor.
Under certain circumstances, the Grantor will allow the transfer of 10% or more the grant award without approval. If that is the case, you should submit the language demonstrating that with the other transfer paperwork required above in 1 - 3.

Saturday night in Des Moines, Nashville Sounds starter Mike Fiers struck out a career-high 13 batters while Iowa Cubs pitching gave up a season-high 18 hits. Not surprisingly, the final result was a 10-1 rout by the Sounds (20-16).
Five days after Iowa (18-15) batters cuffed around Fiers, scoring five runs over five innings, Fiers dominated Iowa batters on Saturday. Fiers cruised over 6.2 innings, scattering five hits and one walk while retiring 13 batters by strikeout. Fiers (6-1) lowered his ERA to 1.59, third best in the PCL. Fiers leads the PCL in strikeouts with 64 in 45.1 innings pitched. Perhaps most impressive is Fiers has walked a mere six batters this season.
Iowa starter Eric Jokisch (2-3) struggled, allowing six runs (five earned) on nine hits and one walk while striking out five over four innings.
Josh Vitters RBI single in the eighth pushed across Arismendy Alcantara with the only run of the game for Iowa. Christian Villanueva went 2-for-4 to extend his hitting streak to seven games.
Hector Gomez and Sean Halton both homered for the Sounds. Gomez, Halton, and Elian Herrera each had three hits while Hunter Morris and Taylor Green added two each. Every position contributed at least one hit on the night for Nashville.
Game two of the series is Sunday afternoon at Principal Park.

Hi everyone, following our minutes, I'd like to start a discussion on what should be done with libvirt-test-API so we can say it's stable and usable. I would like to stress out that everything mentioned here is just an opinion and I don't mean to talk down to someone as it may have seemed earlier. I think we should get some ideas from everyone, mostly QE as they will be (are) the ones using this the most (if I understood correctly), and then I'll be happy to help getting the code to the agreed status. I was thinking about this from the wrong way probably and changing the angle from what I look at it (and knowing there is some deadline) makes me think of few levels of changes, which when introduced, could speed up the test development and code understandability. So here are the things I would like to do definitely (the optional things follow later on): - fix hard-coded options into real options (e.g. commit 65449e)
Absolutely we should either change/destroy it or generalize it as global config.
- fix some env_* and util* code (functions duplicated with different behavior)
This should be caused by mutilple persons worked on that, but lacked reviewing.
- fix or remove harmful and pointless code (at this point, when creating domain on remote machine, be prepared for the test to fail with any other user then root and with root, have backup of both local and remote '/root/.ssh' directories as the contents will be erased!)
So this means test-API only supports qemu:///system testing now, needs to be improved for qemu:///session too. Also I'd guess there are cases which only considers the QEMU/KVM driver testing. If so, we need to either generalize it or seperate it (in case of it are too specific to generalize), perhaps seperate directories for different drivers. But this should be the future plan, what we should do currently is try to generalize the tests as much as we could.
- fix method names for the {connect,domain,etc.}API (get_host_name vs. lookupByUUID etc.)
Yes, we need the consistent function/variable name, also consistent coding (including the comments on top of scripts) style.
The optional things: - get rid of classes in lib and make just few utility functions covering *only* the methods that do something else than call the same method in underlying class from the libvirt module.
Agreed, it looks to me many of the lib functions just simple pass parameter to the underlying libvirt-python API, that's just meaningless/ useless.
- get rid of the new exception (I don't see any other difference than in the name, which can make a difference in "except:" clause, but it's converted everywhere)
Agreed. Just like the classes method in lib, it's feet of snake, ;)
- be able to share variables between tests (connection object and anything else)
Not sure what's your exact meaning, could you explain more?
- introduce new config file for tests (.ini format, can be parsed by ConfigParser, same as env.cfg, define variables used throughout the test specifications
Do you mean destroy current config parsing codes? if so, we need to rewrite (or much modification) codes of generator too. Any critical disadvantage you see in the current parsing/generator codes? I'd think the pricinple of current parsing (no generator) is right, though it might have bugs or disadvantages, we can improve/extend it.
- update the documentation
Current documentation is in publican format, honestly I'm not fan of it, it might be good if used for an enterprise product, but for a community project, I never see what uses it. So I will vote if you mean destroy it and write just simple text docs.
- use some python code style (PEP-8?), make use of True/False, None
pylint should be able to take care of it.
- eliminate duplicated (and x-plicated) code (append_path in all the files, etc.)
Guannan already starts to do it, :-) I didn't go through the codes carefully yet, so no much thoughts yet, but what I could think of currently is: * Take use of JEOS, I'd guess for most of the testing, we won't do much complicate works inside the guest, so JEOS will be enough. * Add default configuration for generalize testing functions, such as for domain installation, we'd want to use it many places, and only need to specify specific configuration when testing the domain installation itself, for the tests which just wants to create a domain, we will just want a usable domain, I.e. lazy guys won't want to specify the parameters again and again. Will comment if I have further thought when went through the codes. Regards, Osier

We observed the spontaneous formation of vesicle-multilayers on top of a polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM). By varying the thickness of underlying PEM (uPEM) it was possible to tailor the amount of adsorbing liposomes. Thereby, the loading capacity could be increased up to 17 times with respect to a monolayer of vesicles for an uPEM of 50.5 bilayers. We, furthermore, proved that the formation of the vesicle multilayer is due to the ability of poly-L-lysine to diffuse within the uPEM. This method could be interesting for applications in sensors and drug delivery systems where the increase in loading capacity is highly desired.

Vultures disturbed
A couple of weeks ago while exploring the woods near my house, I interrupted the dinner of a group of vultures. It was unintentional; if I had known they were there before they knew I was there, I would have sneaked in to get some bloody good shots of them. Then again, I probably had no chance. My feeble human senses are no match for theirs.
When I first heard the peculiar sounds their wings make, I thought there was a squirrel on the tree I was examining for slugs (what else?). You can tell how clueless I was. Then I noticed some of them flying to the high branches of nearby trees.
I walked towards the spot where I thought the vultures had congregated to find out what they had been eating. Initially, I couldn't see anything unusual, but after my nose picked up an unpleasant scent, I looked around more carefully and spotted this recently died young deer.
I hid behind a small tree not too far from the deer. I had the camera ready, hoping the the vultures would return to their feast, but they actually flew further away. They obviously knew all about the stupid human tricks I had up my sleeve.

When I tell people that I eat a mostly vegan diet, the reaction is similar: "Oh you must eat such healthy food". But it is possible to eat a vegan diet and be as horribly unhealthy as the rest of the American public. I just try to eat one that is filled with as many whole foods as possible.
One of the well known issues is the prevalence of soy in many diets. Soy has been used for thousands of years by Asian cultures, but it was generally a side dish, not consumed at every meal. The prevalence of soy burgers, tofu, soy cheese, soy everything is part of why I resisted trying veganism for a long time.
But there are other factors too. I noticed that a lot of boxed cake mixes, pudding, and canned icing contains vegan ingredients. Perhaps that is because the ingredients, too long to name are inexpensive in their chemical form. But I set out to make Bakerella's famous cake pops from boxed mixes vegan style (cake pops are normally made from box mixes).
It was simple, the only substitution I had to make was the use of EnerG egg replacer, which left the cake a little flat, and oil instead of butter. The box mixes were already vegan and Chocolate covered Katie had already told me of a surprisingly vegan cake frosting, Pillsbury.
In the end, they looked like normal cake pop cake balls.
And tasted like Normal Cake Pop Balls.
They were even cute with their red white and blue sprinkles. But something was wrong. I developed a terrible, terrible headache after eating them. I used to get headaches all the time when I ate poorly. Now I think it's a reaction to ingredients in the cake mix or sugars in the icing.
I'm a little hesitant to post this recipe. But if you can tolerate normal processed foods and don't mind taking shortcuts, here's the easy way to vegan cake pops.
Recipe: Easy Vegan From the Box Cake Balls
Summary: Adapted from: Bakerella's Red Velvet Cake Balls
- 1 box cake mix (with vegan ingredients)
- 1 box jello brand pudding mix (with vegan ingredients)
- Oil to replace butter in cake mix
- Ener-G Egg replacer to replace eggs in cake mix
- 1 tub Pillsbury Frosting (make sure it's a vegan variety)
- Dark chocolate bits to cover cake balls
- Make cake mix following instructions on box changing the following, add a box of pudding mix, use oil to replace any butter in recipe and ener-G Egg replacer to replace eggs (cake may not rise as much as usual)
- After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl.
- Mix thoroughly with 2/3 tub frosting.
- Roll mixture into balls and lay on cookie sheet.
- Chill in freezer for several hours.
- Melt chocolate in microwave until liquid enough to coat (melt for 30 seconds, mix, melt for 30 seconds, mix, etc)
- Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm.
Quick notes
Not healthy, lots of sugar and preservatives.
Preparation time: 2 hour(s)
Cooking time: 30 minute(s)
Diet type: Vegan
Number of servings (yield): 12
This isn't the only example of unhealthy options for vegans. There are plenty of vegan candies and highly processed foods that market themselves as vegan. I honestly think that low fat animal products might be healthier than some of the highly processed foods at my supermarket. What's your worst vegan experience?
Early July at the Concord Farmer's market
The second half of his post is much much healthier.
As it is my favorite Saturday morning activity when I'm hanging out at home, I went to the Concord Farmer's Market with Cooper. I got there late so there wasn't as much variety left, but here's a rundown of items I purchased at the Early July Market.
A small head of purple cabbage. Other than cole slaw I'm not sure what to make with this.
Tomatoes, the last two available. Someone had set them aside and never came back fro them. I snagged them.
Kohlrabi, a green and a purple, I had never seen one of these before until I saw my mother-in-law eating one raw. She said they taste a little like apple.
Baby bok choy, a little wilted by the time I got to it. But it was yummy in yesterday's BBQ.
Russian red kale, I have some of this growing in my garden right now, but you can never have enough kale.
Peas, I thought they were sugar snap peas, but they aren't. Thinking of grilling these, because why not.
Garlic scape, the farmer practically gave these to me. I'm a little too excited about them. I'm thinking pesto and grilling.
European zucchini, also known as Italian zucchini, it's zucchini, I'm sure I'll find a use for this.
Summer squash, it's as big as my forearm. Unlike my little baby summer squashes in the garden.
Pictured in the center is yellow zucchini, between a summer squash and the european zucchini. The skin is very soft almost velvety, And the farmer promised me that once I went yellow I would never want green again. I'm saving it so i don't ruin it.
What's showing up at your farmer's market?
What is your perception of vegan, is it inherently healthier, or can it still be full of junk food?

The locksmith came to my home to give me a quote on the project (installing a new electronic keyless deadbolt lock). I decided to procure my own hardware, and then the same locksmith came back a week later to install it. The deadbolt hole in the door was not large enough for the lock, and the side of the door needed to be chiseled to fit the lock. He did a beautiful job chiseling and drilling. It looks fantastic and the lock works perfectly. He even went above and beyond to show me how to program or delete a code. My neighbor happened to walk by while he was working and asked for his card, because she wants to hire him too – he did such a great job! He was very polite, prompt, and professional, as well. I wish I could remember his name – I do recall it was of Latino origin, but sounded similar to Jason. I will definitely call Mile High next time I need locksmith assistance.

Bon Secours Health System Supports Supreme Court Decision On Health Care Law
Bon Secours Health System, Inc., is pleased that, based on an initial read of the Supreme Court opinion, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been found constitutional and will remain in effect. BSHSI has long supported health reform that expands access and coverage to everyone.
As the opinion is examined further, BSHSI will have a better understanding of the impact on the System. BSHSI and other Catholic-sponsored health care providers will continue to lead health care transformation – finding new and better ways to provide "good help to those in need" while strengthening the communities we serve.
With the Catholic Health Association, Bon Secours Health System is also committed to assisting with the full implementation of the Affordable Care Act, and ongoing advocacy for those who suffer because they lack quality, compassionate health care services.
In the coming weeks and months we will continue working closely with the Catholic Health Association (CHA), legislators and the Administration to implement the ACA as fairly and effectively as possible.

Ekspress replaced the Gorizont spacecraft, with deployment to 13 geosynchronous positions beginning in 1994 and continuing beyond 2005.
Nine months after Gals 1 was launched, Ekspress 1 was inserted into a nearly geosynchronous orbit. Ekspress was to replace the widely used Gorizont spacecraft, and plans called for deployments at 13 locations (40 degrees , 53 degrees , 80 degrees , 90 degrees , 96.5 degrees , 99 degrees , 103 degrees , 140 degrees , 145 degrees , 205 degrees , 322.5 degrees , 346 degrees , and 349 degrees , all East longitude) just for domestic needs and to support the Intersputnik Telecommunications Association. Additional Ekspress spacecraft were to be sold to foreign companies, e.g., Rimsat, Ltd. In fact, only the first two satellites launched was of the original configuration. Further state-sponsored launches were not funded, however a total of 12, many heavily modified and with European electronics packages, were launched through 2005.
While the Express solar arrays were identical to those on Gals, the spacecraft bus had slightly smaller dimensions of 3.6 m by 6.1 m. A typical Ekspress payload included 10 C-band and two Ku-band transponders. The improved Ekspress-A model was launched from 1999.
The improved Express-AM-1 satellite first flew in 2004 and was produced by Reshetnev NPO PM jointly with NEC/Toshiba Space Systems for the Russian Satellite Communications Company. The satellite was designed to provide a package of communications services (digital TV, telephony, video conferencing, data transmission, the Internet access) and to deploy satellite networks by applying VSAT technology. The Express-AM spacecraft was equipped with up-to-date antenna systems, to provide high-quality communications and uniform coverage in C- and Ku- bands.
Satellite characteristics
Gross mass: 2,500 kg (5,500 lb).
First Launch: 1994.10.13.
Last Launch: 2011.08.17.
Number: 16 .

June 29, 2010
UCLA head football coach Rick Neuheisel has dismissed three incoming freshmen from the football squad for violation of team rules, it was announced today. The players were informed of the discipline this morning.
Paul Richardson, Shaquille Richardson and Josh Shirley will not be allowed to continue summer school and will not be permitted to enroll at UCLA for Fall Quarter. If they meet certain requirements set by Neuheisel, they may be allowed to enroll in January. Additional discipline may be imposed by the Office of the Dean of Students.
The three players were arrested on campus last week (June 23) by University Police. They were charged with suspicion of felony theft.
"The three young men know they made a terrible mistake," said Neuheisel. "We expect our players to behave a certain way and there are consequences when they don't. Paul, Shaquille and Josh are paying a steep price for their lapse in judgment. They will not be allowed to enroll in school this fall and will not have the opportunity to begin their UCLA academic and athletic careers.
"Whether they are allowed to enroll for Winter Quarter will be determined at a later date. That decision will be based on several factors, including their behavior."

In an off-season that hasn't produced much noise for fans, the Orioles have re-signed Alexi Casilla to a minor-league deal. The contract also includes an invitation to spring training.
Casilla was claimed off waivers from the Minnesota Twins in 2012, when playing 51 games at second base and two at shortstop. Last year, Casilla had a decent amount of playing time, racking up 62 games with the Orioles, until his season ended on September 23 in Tampa, when he collided with teammate Nick Markasis in the outfield. Casilla suffered a concussion, which was enough to hinder the rest of his season. Casilla, who is 29, played in 62 games, hitting .214 and a .295 slugging percentage.
The Orioles could have avoided buying out his $3 million option for 2014 and look to other talent in the free agent pool, but instead decided to keep him and let him compete. He will be included with a wide variety of competition next month.
With spring training coming up, Casilla is expected to be in the competitive mix for an infield spot, along with a spot at second base. His competition would include the likes of talent such as Ryan Flaherty, Jemile Weeks, and Jonathan Schoop.

I am at the Airport now, but where is Nemi and my Mark of the Beta!!
Hi everyone... it's been a long time since i last blogged. From 2nd Dec to 4th Dec I went to the SJAB basic NCO camp, but I'll not talk much about it, since the things i say about it might be offensive to some people, and I think I'll rather stick those words to myself rather than offend others or get myself into slight trouble. So, talk to me personally if you want to know more about the camp.
I'll be flying to Hong Kong today, and it's almost time to board the plane.
I just hate this keyboard. I can't use my thumb to press the spacebar, since something is blocking it, and the letter n is so insensitive, especially when N is one of the most commonly used alphabets in English.
My Aquila mage is still level 26, fame n20 only, because I went for the camp and lost 3 fame points, and had less time to train. By the way I didn't get any of the level 23 equipments like the ice wand...
Gtg now, continue later

- The p75 Neurotrophin Receptor Signaling Pathway as a Novel Therapeutic Target in Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is a leading cause of mortality in men. The aberrant expression of growth factors and their receptors play a pivotal role in the dysregulated growth and malignant transformation of the prostate to adenocarcinoma. We are currently characterizing the interaction of the neurotrophins with the Trk receptor in the proliferation of tumor cells, and conversely, with the p75NTR receptor in the induction of apoptosis. A change in the balance of Trk mediated proliferation and p75NTR mediated apoptosis appears to be pivotal in the neurotrophin mediated malignant progression of the prostate. Experimental manipulation of the neurotrophin, Trk and p75NTR axis in prostate tumor cell growth is being investigated as a means of therapeutic intervention in prostate cancer.

Saying my husband is dedicated is an understatement. In the photo above, he's trying to get his race car trailer out of an ice/snowbank. Our friend Eric's truck is strapped to the birch stump on the left, then our Suburban (hitched to the trailer) is being winched out by Eric's truck. At this point Kyle had already spent three hours using my dad's skid steer moving snow and two hours shoveling and snow blowing around the perimeter. Why all the effort? He's headed to Valdosta, Georgia Tuesday for an outlaw drag race with the '55.
I underestimated the dynamic duo of Kyle and Eric – they got it out!
Warmer days in Georgia are just days away for Kyle. However, thanks to Grandpa Kirker, we'll all be soaking up some vitamin D in Houston this weekend. Aunt Amy called today and told us it's only 60˚. I'll take it! It's still 50˚ warmer than New Era!
Hopefully I'll get the opportunity to take photos this weekend that are something besides white, grey, black and dreary. If not, at least we'll all get to feel a tiny bit of heat on our skin for a few days. I wonder if it will be obvious that we're northerners? The locals will be bundled in sweatshirts and pants. The Kirker girls? They'll be running around barefoot in their swimsuits! Warmer days…here we come!

Going green isn't just a trend; it's a way of life. With that said, more and more earth conscious people are making green options as fashionable and as stylish as possible. For beginners jumping on the green band wagon, like most things, it's best to start with baby steps. One of the easiest transitions to make a difference in our environment is to switch to reusable bags.
The United States goes through approximately 100 billion plastic bags a year and roughly 12 million barrels of oil are used to produce 1 billion plastic bags. In addition, millions of tax dollars are spent disposing of these plastic and paper bags, but if we each used one reusable bag for one year, we could save about 1,000 bags alone. Seems like an easy and logical trend to try on.
Volunteers of the History of Colorado, the Colorado Historical Society, and Mission Wear have teamed up to create Banner Bags. Instead of trashing banners that were used for past exhibitions and events, only to inevitably end up in a landfill, the banners are transformed into bags. Salvaged from local organizations such as Denver Performing Arts Complex, Opera Colorado, and Kroenke Sports, these durable and waterproof bags are not only green, but they are totally hip and stylish.
Each exclusive bag is made by the women at Mission Wear. Mission Wear is a non-profit organization established in 2006 that produces reusable grocery bags by women who are in recovery. Mission Wear creates a safe and welcoming environment for women struggling with adversity to re-enter the workforce, gain confidence, and feel good knowing they're making a difference.
Why not carry your groceries and fashion splurges with style and a little heart? These bags will help keep the earth happier, cleaner and greener for all generations to come. Made by women in need, with sales benefiting a great cause, this is one fashion statement to really feel good about.
Banner Bag Prices:
- Small $25
- Medium $30
- Large $40
Colorado Locations for Purchase:
- Byers-Evans House Museum Denver, CO
- El Pueblo History Museum Pueblo, CO
- Fort Garland Museum Fort Garland, CO
- Trinidad History Museum Trinidad, CO

It is with great sadness that I have to report that Trooper has lost his fight and crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Jennifer Stacy Remeta and Shay Morris made the heartbreaking announcement on Facebook on February 19.
Abby's Animal Angels, the wonderful upstate rescue who fought so hard to save Trooper, posted a statement for those who have followed the little guy since he was found blind and half frozen in the cold in early January.
"We at Abby's Animal Angels are still struggling with the loss of Trooper, he was such a bright soul in an otherwise dreary world. But we are determined to continue our battle, and in memory of him to expand and help even more animals in need. At 12:42 this afternoon, while laying snuggled in a cherry red puppy bed, content in Shay's arms and enjoying the sunshine on his face, Trooper gave up his fight."
Trooper, who had been doing so well, had a setback over the weekend, and when Jennifer and Shay went to visit him at the vet Tuesday morning, they both knew he was dying.
They brought Trooper home so he could die in a peaceful setting. He was in the back yard, where he wagged his little tail and told them both he was going to a better place, and that he was ready to go.
Trooper died on Tuesday, after touching countless lives where he brought dog lovers nationwide together. Dogs freezing to death has unfortunately become the norm this winter.
Trooper was so fortunate to have known the love of not only those involved with Abby's Animal Angels, but those who followed his story through their Facebook page.
"Trooper was the toughest, most amazing little puppy we may ever have the privilege to have met. He brought hundreds of people together in prayer and shed light on our common goal to save the animals that the rest of the world gives up on."
Abby's Animal Angels has created a YouCaring page in memory of Trooper, where they hope to raise $15,000 to build a last chance sanctuary for the special needs dogs and cats they rescue. Abby's Animal Angels is well respected in upstate South Carolina, as they take on some very tragic cases.
Trooper, your legacy will live on. No one who heard your story will ever forget you. The Examiner articles describing the rescue of this miracle puppy are listed under suggested by the author.

Thanks for the feedback people. Keep sending as much as you can track down. Fortunately, the most issues reported by so far can be fixed. Expect version 2.1 to arrive within a week, so that we can gather enough feedback by then
So, don't stop sending feedback and suggestions. We had an amazing applause from the community so far, but ill keep the numbers secret for later on
Now, some short answers/replies both for PFF and LF forums:
The issue with the highest priority so far is the GC reconfiguration for rebs and imps, which can be easily done. As for the computer "crawling" you mention, it happened to me too (high-end installation), when too many squadrons are in a fight. It's a game-code limitation we can't do much for. Yet, one "solution" is to bring some corvettes to clear up the space or destroy the hangars of capital ships. Apart from these "cheap" solution, i would suggest either lowering down the video settings for that particular fight and
look the horizon with the camera while the crawl happens; finally, i would suggest upgrading to a Crossfire ATI X1900XTX (crossfire meaning that you connect x2 cards), a multiprocessor dual-core system and putting 4GB DDRII (dual channel supported by mothercard) ;D . Apart from this, if you see that you win the battle
by far
, just click "autoresolve". Just don't click it on the beginning cause it will be a disaster if doing so (autoresolve does not work as supposed too...).
@swgbex, darthcarth
: The turn speeds of ships can also be take cared easily. As for the small maps (there were some complaints that cap ships were too big in the current maps), heh, we're waiting for a decent map edittor to remake all the 82 maps, like every other modder
@Sith_Interceptor, PipfunatUT
: A short note on ATAT and ATST issues. As mentioned in readme file, the headmounted of ATAT weapons are Anti-air weapons. As for the ATST, it will be tweaked properly (already enhanced against infantry but needs more we guess), but with the chance, we'd like to inform you that in the coming version we'll try to import
SW Databank descriptions
to most units we can find datas for
: Could you give us more info? The royal guards did pretty good job slaughtering some infantry and even t2b tanks in our tests, until getting stopped by some infiltrators or rebel heroes...
: The ATAT is "balanced" in such a way that can easily smash 3 T4B Tanks attackin front the front. It can even handle 4 T4B tanks if their "power to weapons" ability is not activated. Obviously, if the play or AI attack an ATAT from the back, then it will suffer major hits until he turns to fire. Now, AI normally does not move the tanks around when attacking, but a human player will (obviously) do this, if he's smart enough not to let the ATAT face his tanks. Thus, it is general rule to combine a good force when attacking; sending an ATAT in wolf's mouth without adequate back (let's say from some SPMAT sitting some kilometers behind -also guarded well), is most luckily to fail.
: It would be V-E-R-Y helpful if you could send us in the contact
(found in last section of README file) along with the feedback described here, some screenshots or even short videos showing the problem you are talking about. In your email just put a easy-referance subject (ie. bug: Piett rapid turn speed, imbalance: ATST no efficient against infantry). You may also copy & paste the description of the problem as posted in the forums, but do
omit to post the problem in the forums too, so that other people that face the same problem acknowledge that it's already reported.
Orao recommends using
program (uploaded to our site) to record in-game videos. It can capture screenshots too. Mind to turn your screenshots into .JPEG format, so that they are not huge (.tga format: 5
B/image, .jpeg format: 200
B/image .
Thanks again for the feedback
(this note is edited into the first post too)

This week, Agriculture Under Secretary Kevin Concannon and Anne Alonzo, Administrator for the Agricultural Marketing Service joined George Jones, CEO of Bread for the City to highlight the need for a new Farm Bill that adequately invests in America's nutrition safety net. Food assistance programs, along with the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program, provide a critical means to provide healthy food for Americans who are working hard but struggling to fill their plate.
Even as our economy recovers and private-sector jobs are added, food security remains a serious problem across the nation. Last year, more than 49 million Americans lived in households that had difficulty putting food on the table.
To help families put healthy food on the table, USDA provides a modern and effective nutrition safety net.
• Over the past year, USDA has helped millions of Americans through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). More than half of SNAP recipients are children and the elderly, and only 8% receive cash welfare.
• At the same time, our efforts to crack down on fraud and abuse while modernizing the SNAP program have led to one of the lowest error rates in history for the program, and a fraud rate of 1.3%.
• We undertook historic improvements to the range of healthy food offered in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC). The program now includes more whole grains, fruits and vegetables – the first comprehensive changes to the WIC program in 30 years – based on expert scientific recommendations.
We've modernized the school breakfast and lunch programs to be sure kids are getting the nutrition they need during the school day.
• Every day, 31 million children eat school lunch – and about 13 million of them eat school breakfast. For too many kids, these programs are the only dependable means to get a good meal during the day.
• USDA helped lead the effort to pass the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, historic legislation that provided the first real reforms to the school lunch and breakfast programs in three decades.
• The modern school lunch and breakfast programs provide more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and low-fat dairy while reducing fat, sodium and sugar. The reforms also provide school districts with added flexibility to provide healthier school meals.
We've helped America's food banks and food pantries reduce shortages by providing nutritious food for those in need.
• Just this week, to help support food banks and pantries, USDA purchased 155.6 million pounds of healthy, high quality, domestically-grown fruits and vegetables to be donated through The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP).
• Last year, the program resulted in more than 640 million pounds of extra food in food banks across the nation and added $498 million to the farm economy.
As the recovery continues, no American should be left out when it comes to putting a healthy meal on their table, or providing good food for their children. USDA will continue its focus on providing a modern, sensible and reliable nutrition safety net that puts families first – but to get the job done, Congress must provide a new Food, Farm and Jobs Bill as soon as possible that adequately invests in these critical nutrition assistance programs.

Traditionally known as "Fujian Red," Panyang Congou Black has a history highlighted by numerous awards. Dating back to the Qing Dynasty, the tea was first manufactured by the Wan Zing Lung Tea Company in the Tanyang Village. The tea's popularity grew and its distribution spread rapidly. By the end of the 19th century, Panyang was a top tea producing area. On the main street alone, one could count over thirty-six shops specializing in congou tea, plus a fair number of trading companies. The local tea industry employed over 30,000 people from the 1880s to the 1930s, with Panyang Congou exporting to over twenty countries. The tea earned its first major award at the Panama World Exposition in 1915, with a gold medal going to the Fu An Association of Tea Growers. Then, in 1937, machines were installed to take over some of the processing steps, and it was a Panyang congou that commanded the highest price for black tea at the time (sold to a British trading firm).
Today the processing steps for Panyang Congou remain largely unchanged: withering (3-4 hours), light bruising, oxidation (3-4 hours), slow drying, sieve sorting, re-firing. With uniform, fine twisted leaves, the tea is still recognized for its appealing fragrance and exceptional sweetness. Prizes earned in 2003 and 2004 in national competitions may have heartened the factory's staff, but even within China, this is not a well-known or widely distributed tea.
As we proceeded to the tasting room, we noted that the teas arrayed before us would be served gong-fu style. Golden Needles, Gold Crab King, a Black from a new varietal with the unmistakable aroma of Ti Kuan Yin, Panyang Congou made from different varietals (including the Big Sprout and Hairy Crab), and Golden Monkey were some the "big" Black teas prepared.
Fuding's tea bushes are generally better known for their White Silver Needles, but they are also the source of Golden Monkey (Fujian Black that is garnering more attention). The tea is plucked from late March to mid April, and the plentiful downy buds are evidenced by many gold tips against the black leaves, giving inspiration to the tea's name. The processing of Golden Monkey Black is not very different from making other Black teas: withering, rolling, oxidation (4-5 hours), and drying, but to preserve the golden hairs, Golden Monkey is only lightly and very carefully manipulated during the sieving process. The brew is light orange, clear and bright, with a pervasive fragrance that hints at honey; the cup is smooth with an almost crisp finish. Other provinces now produce this tea, but Fujian claims the original.
The teas we sampled all showed beautiful golden tips –– some curled, others extravagantly long –– and shared a sweet easy flavor. These teas may have lost some of their eminence in domestic and international recognition, but they have lost none of the classic quality found in the cup. This group offers an affordable range of styles, striking in leaf appearance, and are wonderful self-drinking black teas showing much finesse and individual character.
Our journey continued Northward, towards the border Fujian shares with Jiangxi Province, and entered a natural reserve in Fujian, a protected area where we were drawn deeper and deeper into lush bamboo and green pockets of pines, our destination being the Lapsang Souchong Tea Gardens. Lapsang Souchong is admittedly an acquired taste, and our anticipation was heightened not so much by the prospect of drinking this smoky tea, but by the aura of mystery surrounding the making of this tea. We followed a gurgling creek for almost the entirety of the trip (two hours) and encountered only one on-coming vehicle on the single lane road. Occasionally, we spotted houses in this peacefully scenic area and small bridges traversing the many streams. As we drew closer to our destination we noticed large barn-like buildings jutting out among the lovely green hills.
As we sat in the reception room for the guests and proceeded with introductions, we braced ourselves for the first sip of that smoky tea. Members of our group looked at each other quizzically with questioning glances: Was the tea brewed too weak? Why was the hint of smoke so appealing rather than overpowering?
During plucking and processing season in the spring, a normal workforce numbering seventy people balloons to over a thousand. In terms of primary tea production, smoke is already introduced during withering, which is done indoors; there is no outdoor withering. Pine wood is the source of the smoke, wafting upwards from the basement. A finger placed lightly against a wall came away smudged with the remnants of years of pine smoke.
Tea leaves are spread out over grass mats, which rest on a bamboo grid that is the floor of one level and the ceiling for the level beneath. These fragile looking latticed platforms can hold several hundred kilos of tea. Withering is done on the top third and fourth floors, which will last ten to twelve hours; rolling and oxidation are found on the first and second levels. Once again temperature and humidity (water may be sprayed) during oxidation are crucial and adjusted accordingly. Most of the processing is done during evening hours through dawn, and the smoking process may be repeated. To create a heavier smoky effect, the finished primary tea will be processed again.
Fujian History & Garrisons
Towards the end of the 16th century, the central government in the capital viewed parts of Fujian as rogue strongholds, where loyalty to the capital was suspect. Garrisons were stationed in this border area of Fujian and Jiangxi, hindering tea production, which up until then had supplied large quantities of Green tea. Moreover, the presence of the soldiers hampered the movement of tea to other parts of the country. The tea growers had no choice but to allow the tea to oxidize. Some of this tea made its way to a seaman, who carried it to Europe, sold it, and returned for more of this "damaged" tea. The Dutch managed to penetrate the blockade ringing Fujian's coast, while enterprising tea farmers put the plentiful pine to good use, smoking the tea to make it keep longer. Between 1610 and 1640, both Fujian tea innovators and Dutch sea merchants benefited from this black market enterprise. By the 1660s, the East India Company carried this tea to England, and in 1684 the port of Xiamen was reopened to export teas. As demand increased in the 1800s, tea was brought in from Anhui for Lapsang Souchong production. Today, the greatest quantities produced are the Lapsang Souchongs destined for export; leaves are fairly large, thick and robust, suitable for capturing the smoke that will defines this tea.
At this point, we at last learned from our tea manager that the tea we drank earlier was the original WuYi Bohea tea, or what the tea manager considers the authentic Lapsang Souchong, or the proper Zheng Shan Xiao Chung. He cautioned us that the Lapsang Souchong we see in the West is not the original smoky tea, and although it is somewhat confusing, the same Chinese name Zheng Shan Xiao Chung applies both to this original tea and to the Lapsang Souchong teas known from exports. Xiao Chung refers to the limited production from this region, and the relatively small leaf of the genuine article. Approximately 300 to 400 years ago, no trademarks defined tea from this area. Zheng means genuine or authentic, so Zheng Shan (mountain) was used to distinguish teas of this area from other producing areas. The local dialect pronounces pine as "lap," which was later added and thus became Lap Shan Xiao Chung. This, however, eventually developed into Lapsang Souchong (as it is known today).
The special grade fine leaf tea that was served (the group later learned) was made after six hours of withering and 12 hours in the smoking rafters. The gentle hint of smoke we detected in the tea was sweet and haunting, inviting repeated sips. This original Zheng Shan Xiao Chung is soft and tasty, without the brasher smoke of a conventional Lapsang Souchong.
At an altitude of 1135-meters, this tea comes from trees in a small area in this hidden reserve. Admittedly, the very limited production from a single season's (spring) plucking makes this costlier than the standard Lapsang Souchong, and one that rarely finds its way to being exported. However, knowing a bit about its locale and comparing it to the bolder, somewhat harsher standard version, the original Zheng Shan Xiao Chung can still be considered a relative bargain.
If I have dwelled on fancy high grade teas, this is in part because our hosts were naturally proudest of their best products, but one does hope that attention to the beguiling, variable, complex tastes these teas offer will create a more educated tea consumer, one who will seek out the almost forgotten and often overlooked Black teas of Fujian, or who will give traditional Ti Kuan Yin's another try after an early heady infatuation with the Light Fragrant style, and who will do a bit of hunting to find that fabulous Phoenix Single Trunk Oolong. But the pocketbook need not always suffer unduly: the very affordable prices, say, of a first grade White Mutan or a Shou Mei may encourage tea drinkers to experiment with these as iced tea perhaps, and a first grade Min Nan or Min Pei Oolong – very much a bargain – makes a good starting point for comparing Oolong styles.
The aging equipment we saw at the Panyang Congou Factory made us a little wistful, mindful of past glory now gone; if the village seemed isolated it is because tea production driving the vitality of the village has diminished. Later, however, we left the hulking Lapsang Souchong smoke houses with regret, not quite ready to depart from this remote, quietly beautiful green spot. If the tea factory was dark with smoke, it was aged in a way we hoped would not change too soon. Finally, how fitting that our trip concluded here: in a journey to educate ourselves, what we discovered and hold most memorable is not some new fangled tea or tea fad, but something very old and very original.
